      Hello,
      I have a problem with (I think) the PIR-Sensor module. It works fine, when the mirror wakes after 10-15 min up. But when the pause is longer (a few hours) I have a black screen with the cursor on it. I can’t see any modules and need to restart the Mirror. Do someone know how to fix it?

        @Stabber what is in your config.js for the module?

        MMM-Bose-Soundtouch, MMM-Domoticz, MMM-crypto-portfolio, MMM-Fibaro, MMM-rain-forecast

            Hi,
            I’ve a similar Problem with MMM-PIR-Sensor. However, my MagicMirror already starts with a black screen as soon as I insert the module. The config is almost identical.

            Regards
            Josef

              Hey,

              I’ve had the same problem and I solved it with Crontab and Python. The Module from paviro made some trouble with my mirror.

                  was this solved?
                  i just installed everything from this tutorial: https://howchoo.com/g/ntcymzbimjv/how-to-install-magic-mirror-on-your-raspberry-pi
                  everything works EXCEPT this pir module. once i remove the module, off course everything is back to “normal”

                  but if i add the module back in with

                  {
                  			module: 'MMM-PIR-Sensor',
                  			config: {
                  				sensorPIN: 4,
                  				powerSavingDelay: 25,
                  			}
                  },
                  

                  i get nothing but a mouse cursor and a totally black screen. it doesnt turn off or on via the PIR either.

                  never mind…
                  i got it now. i reinstalled everything again.
                  cd ~/MagicMirror/modules
                  git clone https://github.com/paviro/MMM-PIR-Sensor.git
                  cd MMM-PIR-Sensor
                  npm install

                  sudo usermod -a -G gpio pi

                  sudo chmod u+s /opt/vc/bin/tvservice && sudo chmod u+s /bin/chvt
                  to allow turning on/off the hdmi output.

                  sudo reboot

                  sudo nano ~/MagicMirror/config/config.js

                  
                                  {
                                          module: 'MMM-PIR-Sensor',
                                          config: {
                                                  sensorPIN: "4",
                                                  powerSavingDelay: "25",
                                          }
                                  },
