      @incubik have you checked your Web inspector?

          I got my sensor and hooked it up, same problem.

          Yes, I am using node version 6.0. When I did the install that’s the version that was installed, I think the install script now installs an older version?

            I’ve tried to use PIN 26. In my electron errorlog, there was this msg:

            [Error: digitalRead: IsInt32(arguments['pin']) === false]
            

            So I went back to PIN 22 and now my mirror starts again. :-)

            EDIT:

            New idea -> Try without ’ ';

            {
            module: 'MMM-PIR-Sensor’,
            config: {
            sensorPIN: 2 ,
            }
            }

              @incubik I don’t use that browser, Google it :)
              @pugsly Node v6 is not supported at the moment.
              @Bangee yes, the pin has to be an int :) @incubik you also made that mistake!

                Ok, I will!

                Maybe it is a hardware problem? I’ve connected the PIR-sensor this way, is this correct?

                  @incubik Looks fine, the hardware does not influence the module behavior tough, you could also run it without something connected.

                    Ok, so if it doesn’t support v6, how can @Bangee made it work? I guess I should:

                    1. Uninstall NodeJS v6 and install v5
                      or
                    2. Delete the Sensor Module for now

                    ??

                      When I checked it did not work, maybe the dependencies were updated since then. If not install v5 :)

                        This PDF shows how to adjust your PIR Sensor.

                        Today, i don’t know why but after a few minutes the monitor turns off, but then it reactivates again without any motion in front of the mirror. Any sugestions?
