Monitor with PIR-Sensor does not turn off

Klinge

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.

Yesterday, I got the solution. 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.

I have had exactly the same mistake on my side, wiring was wrong. 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.
