PIR-Sensor - put your mirror to sleep if not used
-
@yawns thank you, that solved it! Now I need to understand why nothing happens even if I wave in front of the sensor…
I’m starting to think that the PIR sensor doesn’t work -
Hey all,
I am a relative novice when it comes to the Pi, and have been trying to identify why I am unable to install the dependencies via “npm install”.
I cloned the repository into my “modules” folder via the “git clone…” command (Step 1).
I then navigated into the new “MMM-PIR-Sensor” folder and ran “npm install”.
However, I got an error during the install suggesting I have an issue with electron-rebuild. Is anyone familiar with what could cause this error to be thrown, and what I could do to resolve it?
Here is the error:
Magic-Mirror-Module-PIR-Sensor@1.1.0 postinstall /home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-PIR-Sensor
electron-rebuild -e …/…/node_modules/electron-prebuilt
An unhandled error occurred inside electron-rebuild
Unable to find electron-prebuilt’s version number, either install it or specify an explicit version

@cpramhofer Were you able to fix your problem?

@jrleeman Hi I have the same issue that you do with the on signal only being put out for about a second after motion detection. Did you ever find a way to make the mirror stay awake for longer with the timer being reset by any motion signal?
-
@Nususu Did you have any issues with the npm install of this module? I am still unable to install the module :(
-
Please continue discussion about install issues here. There is already info on how it can be solved. For other problems with the PIR-Sensor Module please open a new thread in the troubleshooting section.
