MMM-Pir

[gonzonia]

I was trying to update MMM-Pir and having some trouble so I decided, I’d rename the directory and start with a fresh install. I cloned the directory and followed the instructions with “npm run setup”. Apparently my node version is too high.

npm error code EBADENGINE
npm error engine Unsupported engine
npm error engine Not compatible with your version of node/npm: MMM-Pir@2.0.0
npm error notsup Not compatible with your version of node/npm: MMM-Pir@2.0.0
npm error notsup Required: {“node”:“>=20.9.0 <21 || >=22”}
npm error notsup Actual: {“npm”:“10.8.3”,“node”:“v21.7.1”}

Can I not use MMM-Pir now?

@gonzonia install node 20, MagicMirror has the same version restrictions, cause we found some problems w node 21

sudo npm install n -g
sudo n 20

sudo is required here because they both update the /usr folder

[gonzonia]

@sdetweil Thanks!

[gonzonia]

@sdetweil I did that and I still get the same problem. How do I make sure it uses the correct version?

pi@MagicMirror:~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Pir $ sudo npm install n -g

added 1 package in 5s
pi@MagicMirror:~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Pir $ sudo n 20
     copying : node/20.18.0
   installed : v20.18.0 (with npm 10.8.2)

@gonzonia said in MMM-Pir:

{“npm”:“10.9.0”,“node”:“v21.7.1”}

you may have to close and open new shell
or do

hash -r

to update the path

[gonzonia]

@sdetweil Okay.
I’ve run

sudo npm install n -g
sudo n 20
hash -r

then closed the terminal and reconnected.
Went back into the MMM-Pir directory and tried running the setup again.
Same problem

[sdetweil]

@gonzonia node -v
returns what?

[gonzonia]

@sdetweil

pi@MagicMirror:~ $ node -v 
v21.7.1

[sdetweil]

@gonzonia weird… how did you upgrade to node 21?
apt or nvm?

[gonzonia]

@sdetweil Honestly, I don’t remember. I think I installed nvm at one point to fix something else but I do run apt regularly to update everything

[sdetweil]

@gonzonia do nvm -v

n and nvm do the same thing
nvm is a bash script
n is a javascript app

[gonzonia]

@sdetweil

$ nvm -v
0.39.7

[sdetweil]

@gonzonia ok, so you have nvm too

sudo nvm i 20

[gonzonia]

@sdetweil said in MMM-Pir:

sudo nvm i 20

sudo nvm i 20
sudo: nvm: command not found

[sdetweil]

@gonzonia ok, been a while

nvm install v20.9.0

[gonzonia]

@sdetweil said in MMM-Pir:

nvm install v20.9.0

That did it!

As always, THANK YOU!

@gonzonia is your Magic Mirror working now with MMM-PIR?
My MM stopped turning on after updating MMM-PIR.

[gonzonia]

@Peter So it’ll go off but the PIR doesn’t work to turn it back on? Mine is working. Try re-installing. Here’s the config I’m using.

  module: 'MMM-Pir',
		  position: 'top_left',
		  classes: 'SceneFamily SceneSam',
		  config: {
			debug: false,
			delay: 2 * 60 * 1000,
			mode: 9	,
			displayCounter: false,
			displayBar: false,
			displayStyle: "Line",
			displayLastPresence: false,
			lastPresenceTimeFormat: "LL H:mm",
			mode6_gpio: 20,
			mode6_clearGpioValue: true,
			xrandrForceRotation: "left",
			wrandrForceRotation: "normal",
			wrandrForceMode: "1920x1080",
			touchMode: 3,
			pir_gpio: 4,
			pir_mode: 0,
	  }

@gonzonia before installing did you follow all the tips mentioned by sdetweil?
