        Yay! I’ve finally solved my blank screen issue, now I’ve the same problem as @DirkS… After a while the screensaver activates, the screen becomes dark and even if I wave in front of the sensor the mirror doesn’t go on again…
        @paviro any idea why?

          Nevermind, I’m back on the white page problem… It keeps saying “Error: Module version mismatch. Expected 50, got 51”

          I tried either: npm rebuild --runtime=electron --target=1.4.0 --disturl=https://atom.io/download/atom-shell --build-from-source
          and: npm rebuild --runtime=electron --target=1.4.5 --disturl=https://atom.io/download/atom-shell --abi=50

          but it doesn’t change…

            Please run npm list and check for your electron version. Then rerun the command you already tried with the right version number

              @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

                An unhandled error occurred inside electron-rebuild
                Unable to find electron-prebuilt’s version number, either install it or specify an explicit version

                    @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.
