@Sultan91 Thanks, I ordered those parts on Amazon too since I haven’t gotten much response here.

Really hope that one’s easier to figure out.

I launch MM by typing “pm2 start mm”. How do people watch the console after they launch it? Someone said to check the logs…?

I’ve been reading lots of other modules and they all have instructions that say to use the " npm install" command… Do I need to do that for this mod?

I’m sorry but there were NO instructions with this mod, and I’m NOT a technical person.

@Sultan91

Ok, so what is npm and what’s the console? Sorry!

Anyone have any advice???

Is there some way to check system logs or something?

First let me start by saying that I know nothing about coding… I’m barely IT literate, so go n00b with the answers please! :)

I’ve managed to get MagicMirror installed and running on the rPi, I have the rPi camera which I would like to use as to detect when someone is in front of the mirror and come on for a minute or so.

The module linked above didn’t come with any documentation that I could find, so other than downloading the files into my MM modules directory on the rPi and adding this to my MM config file:

	{
		module: "motiondetector"
	},

I don’t know what to do. The screen just stays on indefinitely. Are there some settings I’m missing?

Also, I did verify that the camera is plugged in and working, the rPi had no trouble using it to take a picture.

I’ve been trying to find mm log files or something so that I could even see if the motiondetector module was working, but I don’t know where to look or how to access those either.

Thanks for any pointers or troubleshooting steps!
