Pretty simple question (I think), but I’ve seen all kinds of answers so wanted to check here. Which pins do I connect each of the 3 PIR jumper cables to on the Pi?

Just so I understand, the 8mm hole is half-way through the frame, which is where the sensor sits, and then in the middle of that is the 3mm all the way through?

Sounds like a good plan. I’ll give that a shot, hopefully here in the next few days (once my mirror is delivered.)

This is where I feel like a noob asking the question, but how would this typically work for a magic mirror, considering that one way or another the Pi is (I would think) usually going to be behind the monitor and out of the line of sight of the mirror surface?

This will be my first time trying to do anything with a PIR sensor. (Here is what I have: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B012ZZ4LPM/).

Maybe this is a question that is specific to the brand/model, but in general, would a sensor like this be able to detect if the Pi is enclosed in a case? I know that sensitivity can be configured, but again, first-timer here.

Thanks in advance…

Many thanks! :)

Has anyone else happened to run into this? I’m running this module for Sagittarius, and there is just a box where the icon would typically be. (I didn’t try all of them, but scorpio, for example, does have the symbol.) Thanks.

I feel silly for not thinking of those things before I posted. You were correct on both fronts. Thanks again.

Greetings…

This is my first Raspberry Pi (and therefore, first Magic Mirror) project. I’ve got the MMM-WunderGround module up and running. The PWS i’m using for Knoxville, TN is KTNKNOXV198, and most of the display data seems accurate.

However, at this moment, it’s 12:30 PM EST on March 9, 2018. The default clock module shows this correctly. But, on the WU module, the time is showing as 6:37 (not sure if AM or PM).

Additionally, the wind display is showing as -9999 mph.

Any guidance is appreciated. Thanks!

Edit: config is below. Also noticed that time is not just off, but also ‘stuck’ at 6:37.
