MMM-PIR-Sensor - White Screen

[samydp]

[Bangee]

That looks fine.

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

[samydp]

yes but i dont have the folder node_modules in the PIR Folder :/ i have install WrinPi but nothing works :/

[Bangee]

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:

I’ve got a Pi2 and use Pin 2 for power, Pin 6 for Ground and Pin 15 for Data.
– correctin grn pin

and dont forget to add the config :-)

[samydp]

you are the best !! i dont become no a with screen !

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]

can you restart the magicmirror an check what errormessage you have:
pm2 logs mm

[phantomlight]

@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!

@Bangee hi ! thx for your nice tuto, i have proceed with it but i got a warning as below:

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!!

[Bangee]

@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

[bibi]

@Bangee yes i follow his and yours… quite the same… regarding this npm warning I do nothing then as understood?
I will send you the log later when I’m home
Thx bangee! Appreciated!

[bibi]

@Bangee so as expected the pm2 log mm just show that the file has syntax error… here is my config file, i put the module at the end…

thx again :)

[strawberry 3.141]

@bibi powerSaving: true

[bibi]

@strawberry-3.141 right was a typo but still the config file is “not created” :((

[strawberry 3.141]

@bibi can you post your whole config file?

[bibi]

@strawberry-3.141 here you go and many thx in advance - i struggling with this now (sorry i don’t know why only few parts of the code is with the color background)
