<![CDATA[Monitor with PIR-Sensor does not turn off]]>Hello,

I am building my first MM and have a problem with the PIR-Sensor.

What have I done:
Installing wiringPi
1 git clone git://git.drogon.net/wiringPi
2 cd wiringPi
3 git pull origin
4 ./build

Installing the PIR-Module
https://github.com/paviro/MMM-PIR-Sensor

Configuring config.js like this

{
                module: 'MMM-PIR-Sensor',
                config: {
                        sensorPIN: 23,
                        powerSaving: true,      
                }
        },

Connect the PIR to the raspberry like this

I am waiting about one, two minutes, but unfortunately the monitor does not turn off.

Does somebody has any idea?

Thanks in advance.
Klinge

It did not kill the sensor but it’s output status was always high. Also I had the mixed up SensorPin and the acutally Pin Number on the Pi.

It is very simple. I had a wrong description of the PIR-Sensor. GND and VCC were interchanged. So I interchanged the cable and it works.
