MMM-PIR-Sensor - White Screen

James

@paviro maybe 99% sure. FYI what I did yesterday as follows:

Format & rewrite the sd card,
Boot and run sudo apt-get update & upgrade & reboot,
Install MagicMirror2 with the bash command,
git MMM-PIR-Sensor in modules folder and run npm install in MMM-PIR-Sensor folder as well as useradd command,
Add code in config.js with

                {
                        module: 'MMM-PIR-Sensor',
                        config: {
                               sensorPIN: 4
                        }
                },

After rebooting, run MM with pm2 and shows “White Screen”, I checked the pm2 error log shows something like “Expected 49, got 48” as before,
Run npm rebuild --runtime=electron --target=1.3.4 --disturl=https://atom.io/download/atom-shell --abi=49 in the MMM-PIR-Sensor folder,
Run pm2 restart mm and it works.

I found there is another issue when a rebooting finished and MM runs automaticly with pm2, MMM-PIR-Sensor will not work(screen always on) until the sensor captured a motion.

this works for me too. without formatting and reinstallation.
I’ve remove the folder node_modules and startet from 4.

Thanks a lot.

very interesting, I will try it this weekend. I’m just wondering why this is not documented on any forum or website, even though you can find several users with version mismatch issues.
Great finding, @James

@samydp did you maybe reneamed this folder:
modules/MMM-PIR-Sensor/node_m odules <- is there a space in this name??
you’ll have to remove this

samydp

I have the folder node_modules in MMM-Pir folder .
should I delete the folder?

Bangee

Can you post a printscrenn from this folder?
you can also try to go use these commands:

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-PIR-Sensor/
git pull
npm rebuild

samydp

Bangee

That looks fine.

Did you try to remove your folder MMM-PIR-Sensor an reinstall the modul?
