      I added a PIR to my MM, and I get a black screen, and no MM in browser on other LAN devices.
      Hitting the ‘Windows’ key brings up the Pi start menu, where I can lunch terminal and stop MM.
      A simple test script confirms the PIR device is working correctly without MM running.

      Any ideas on how to fix this, please?

      Here are the errors, and my config.

      { Error: Cannot find module 'onoff'

          at Function.Module._resolveFilename (/home/pi/MagicMirror/node_modules/electron/dist/resources/electron.asar/common/reset-search-paths.js:35:12)

      Config:

      		{
      		module: 'MMM-PIR-Sensor',
      		config: {
      				sensorPIN:22,
                      powerSaving: true,
                      relayPIN: false,
      				powerSavingDelay: 0,
                      relayOnState: 1
      			// See 'Configuration options' for more information.
      		}
      	},

        After running git clone https://github.com/paviro/MMM-PIR-Sensor.git in ~/MagicMirror/modules, did you run

        cd MMM-PIR-Sensor
        npm install
        

        ? The npm install in this directory should have installed onoff as a dependency.

          That seems to have fixed it, thank you.
          There’s now a prompt at the top of MM saying there’s an update available for the PIR module.
          How do I go about updating an individual module?

            In your example:

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

            So you enter the modules directory, tell git to retrieve (= pull) the latest code from github and afterwards you install dependencies again, just in case
