@yawns thx! :))

[strawberry 3.141]

@bibi you forgot to close the config section in the newsfeed module, add } after showPublishDate: true and you should be fine

[bibi]

@strawberry-3.141 yeah! thx a lot. at least i can see this white screen now :p :))) have to figure out how to solve this… Only if it’s realllllly really obvious for you/someone, i post my log file. (sorry to ask so much) otherwise not prob, i will reinstall the PIR module…

Ok the problem it’s solved! except the screen is turning on and off in a very strange way… have to figure out why.

For those you would get the same issue as me, what i did after fixing my config file was:

1. sudo apt-get update & upgrade & reboot,
2. go in MMM-PIR-Sensor folder in modules folder and run npm install there
   3.sudo reboot
