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

      1. Format & rewrite the sd card,
      2. Boot and run sudo apt-get update & upgrade & reboot,
      3. Install MagicMirror2 with the bash command,
      4. git MMM-PIR-Sensor in modules folder and run npm install in MMM-PIR-Sensor folder as well as useradd command,
      5. Add code in config.js with
                      {
                              module: 'MMM-PIR-Sensor',
                              config: {
                                     sensorPIN: 4
                              }
                      },
      
      1. 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,
      2. Run npm rebuild --runtime=electron --target=1.3.4 --disturl=https://atom.io/download/atom-shell --abi=49 in the MMM-PIR-Sensor folder,
      3. 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

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

                    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

                        That looks fine.

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

                            ok so lets go step by step:
                            cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/

                            now we will remove the PIR folder:
                            rm -rf MMM-PIR-Sensor

                            and from here, we’re going to reinstall the MMM-PIR-Sensor modul:
                            git clone https://github.com/paviro/MMM-PIR-Sensor.git
                            cd MMM-PIR-Sensor

                            run the following cmd here:
                            npm install and wait, this can take a few minutes.

                            Now you’ll have to add pi to gpio
                            sudo useradd -g pi gpio

                            and reboot your Raspi:
                            sudo reboot

                            You’ll have to connect your PIR Sensor the right way with your Raspi.
                            I’ve connected my PIR Sensor on the following Pins:
                            GPIO
                            I’ve got a Pi2 and use Pin 2 for power, Pin 6 for Ground and Pin 15 for Data.
                            – correctin grn pin

                            PIR Sensor

                            and dont forget to add the config :-)

                              but the sensor dont work

                              i have
                              vcc: Pin 2
                              Data: Pin 7
                              Ground: Pin 6

                              and my config in the config and MMM-PIR-Sensor data is:

                              }
                              {
                                      		module: 'MMM-PIR-Sensor',
                                      		config: {
                              			sensorPIN: 7,
                              			relayPIN: false,
                              			powerSaving: true,
                              			relayOnState: 1,

                                          },
                              

                              the sensetiv is max and the time is min

                                If you use pin 7 in your config its nr 4

                                You have to use the gpio nr.

                                    @Bangee I tried everything regarding the white screen issues. I’m a noob. was able to get magic mirror installed, I also installed the PIR motion detection and can confirm motion is detected.

                                    Downgraded Node JS
                                    Installed the electron
                                    made sure module was added in config.js

                                    I am using the Raspberry PI 3 mode b.

                                    Can somebody confirm this module is working with Raspberry Pi 3.

                                    Any help would be greatly appreciative…
                                    Thanks.

                                        @Bangee Thank you so much for responding. I removed magic mirror completely reinstalled… then installed the module.

                                        All is well now… Thank you so much!

                                          pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-PIR-Sensor $ npm install
                                          npm WARN prefer global npm@3.10.9 should be installed with –g
                                          do i have to do smt specific or it’s just ok to leave it without any action?
                                          ps: my config file is also not working with PIR module implemented… maybe that is the reason? thx you very much for any feedabck guys!!

                                            @bibi did you try it with the instructions from paviro:
                                            https://github.com/paviro/MMM-PIR-Sensor

                                            I don’t think that this warn is your problem. I have so many times these warnings :-D
                                            You sould send us whats in your pm2 logs mm
