          @orayoflighto what you show is exactly what I need, however struggling with MMM pir Sensor module as my MM shows a conf.js error. So can’t get beyond that. I also have the RGB WS2812B led strips which I discovered r more problematic to control. I feel as though I tried many things but still frustrated with non functioning lights.

              @orayoflighto I’m struggling with MMM PIR Sensor and constantly get a black screen, this is my coming input, can you advise if I’m doing anything obviously wrong, thanks

              module: ‘MMM-PIR-Sensor’,
              config: {
              sensorGpio: 4, // This is the GPIO port number, not the header pin number
              relayGpio: false, // This is the GPIO port number, not the header pin number
              powerSaving: true,
              relayOnState: 1,
              relayOffState: 0,
              turnOffAfterSeconds: 30,
              debug: false
              }
              },

                Usually a black screen means that you have an error in your configuration file. Make a backup and remove as many lines as you can. Make sure you have the right GPIO pin. That can be confusing because it is different than the actual PIN number. Make sure you are also looking at a GPIO readout for a Pi 3 as the GPIOs are a little different depending on what version of the Pi you have.

                  @orayoflighto the error message is cannot find module onoff. Unsure now how to correct this, the GPIO pin seems correct

                    @richardh151 open a terminal go into your modules directory mmm-pir-sensor and run npm install

                    Please create a github issue if you need help, so I can keep track
