      Who can help me to find my PIR Sensor problem ?

      Using:
      Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Rev 1.2
      processor : 3
      model name : ARMv7 Processor rev 4 (v7l)
      BogoMIPS : 76.80
      Features : half thumb fastmult vfp edsp neon vfpv3 tls vfpv4 idiva idivt vfpd32 lpae evtstrm crc32
      CPU implementer : 0x41
      CPU architecture: 7
      CPU variant : 0x0
      CPU part : 0xd03
      CPU revision : 4
      Hardware : BCM2835
      Revision : a02082
      Serial : 00000000af2e503e

      MMM v2.1.3
      https://github.com/paviro/MMM-PIR-Sensor.git

      already done:
      git clone …
      npm install …
      chmod on user and map structures

      All i get is my normal MM screen and every other modul works fine.
      Testing on Motion-test.js shows me the correct status, and turns HDMI monitor off and on.

      also tested the MMM-MotionCensor but the same problem. the monitor is not going to sleep.

      regards,
      Harm Moed

        Have you tested the PIR independently of the mirror ? (ie, does it work the way you want it to ?). This is a good guide to setting them up and testing they work.

        I had issues with the same MM module, and chose to use this solution instead, which works perfectly and has the added advantage of working regardless of whether MM is running.

          Bob thnx,

          It’s working fine now.
          just iinstalled it like a service and added the PIR.PY a litle bit just for my personal settings and my HDMI screen turns off afther 5 minutes.

          Next thing i want to do is to include it as a module in he MMM Remote Control app so i can show or hide the status and countdown time on un mobile or screen.

          tHNx again Bob.
