@coernel please add it to the third party list

Hi,

Is this the correct place to ask questions about the module?

If so, is there any way to test that it is actually running?

I have installed the module for using a PIR module but nothing appears in the screen in the place I requested it.

Thanks

@lif have you verified that the PIR is working outside of MagicMirror??

Yes,

@lif and you are using the correct pin definition

    Pir: {
      mode: 0,
      gpio: 21
    },

Yes, the working script is:
from gpiozero import MotionSensor
from datetime import datetime
import os, time
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO

pir = MotionSensor(21)
while True:

    pir.wait_for_motion()
    now = datetime.now()
    current_time = now.strftime("%H:%M:%S")
    print("Movement detected at", current_time)
    pir.wait_for_no_motion()

@lif I meant MMM-PIR config setup

there are different numbering schemes for GPIO pins and different ways to access

the doc (readme) describes the different choices.

Yes, I think so, the pir is connected to pin 40 on the Raspberry pi 3b which I’m sure is GPIO 21

@lif and if you change to mode 1?? which matches your python lib test?

No difference.

I have added a header: “PIR”, line before the config and that is not showing either.
