      pir_mode: 0,

      Sorry, I have forget to update ReadMe for this error
      Generally happen with x64 system (Rpi 4 and Rpi 5)

      Available pir_mode:
      pir_mode: 0 - use onoff library (For Raspberry Pi 3b+ and 4)
      pir_mode: 1 - use python script with RPI.GPIO library (For Raspberry Pi 3b+ and 4)
      pir_mode: 2 - use python script with gpiozero library (For Raspberry Pi 5, not tested on other Raspberry Pi)
      

      So, Can you try pir_mode: 1, or pir_mode: 2,

        @bugsounet Changing pir_ mode from 0 to 1 has fixed the problem :)

        Thanks for your help.

        Regards,

        Jazz

            Hi everyone,

            I just can’t get it to work guys. Please help.

            GPIO setup:
            VIN - Pin2
            OUT - Pin6
            GND - Pin11

            Configuration:
            module: ‘MMM-Pir’,
            position: ‘top_left’,
            config: {
            debug: false,
            delay: 1 * 30 * 1000,
            mode: 1,
            displayCounter: true,
            displayBar: true,
            displayStyle: “SemiCircle”,
            displayLastPresence: true,
            lastPresenceTimeFormat: “LL H:mm”,
            xrandrForceRotation: “normal”,
            wrandrForceRotation: “normal”,
            touchMode: 2,
            pir_gpio: 17,
            pir_mode: 1,

            I have been playing around with all variations and have tested 3 sensors. Not sure what I’m missing.
            Thank you for your support!

              @Laca44 does it work outside
              MagicMirror?

              there are python scripts to test operation.
              google search
              python pir sensor test

                    @sdetweil Yes it helped in resolving the issue. I still need to understand what troubleshooting actually helped.
