@mab6435 said in MMM-PIR-SENSOR not working:

My modification to the modules config file looks like this.
{
module: “MMM-PIR-Sensor”,
}

Bur that is not like it is described in the readme of the module.

try:

{
			module: 'MMM-PIR-Sensor',
			config: {
			sensorPIN: 22,
			powerSavingDelay: 120 // in seconds
			}
		},

Also u need to use a powersaving delay. Cause the default is 0 !

And i am not sure, but i think u used “ instead of "

cruunnerr

Not much time, so here comes just a short think…

You have two cogs on the pir. Move the time delay completely left or right (so it will just give a very short impulse).
Set the Shutoff-delay in the script to 5 seconds (just to try)
Try another GPIO…
try a pull-up or pull-down resistor like used at thy button-method

To be sure everything will work fine i would use the desktop version. Best option here is Jesse i think :)

Otherwise u can try this guide, cause with the lite versions of raspbian there are dependancies missing for the MagicMirror.
The guide works fine for me using raspbian stretch lite

Read the last few posts ;)

For example u want to use the pir from Sunday 22pm over the whole week until next Sunday 6am.
So on every Sunday from 6am to 22pm the monitor should stay on.

So you just need two cronjobs. On Sunday, 6am u need to kill the pir.py and on Sunday, 22pm you need to start it again :)

Try it like this:

nano killpir.sh
Write this into file and save with CTRL+X and Yes

#!/bin/bash
sudo pkill $(ps aux | grep python pir.py | awk '{ print $2 }')
vcgencmd display_power 1

chmod +x killpir.sh
sudo nano /etc/crontab
Write this into file and save with CTRL+X and Yes:

0 22 * * 7 /usr/bin/sh /home/pi/killpir.sh
0 6 * * 7 /usr/bin/python /home/pi/pir.py

So for example your crontab looks like this:

# /etc/crontab: system-wide crontab
# Unlike any other crontab you don't have to run the `crontab'
# command to install the new version when you edit this file
# and files in /etc/cron.d. These files also have username fields,
# that none of the other crontabs do.

SHELL=/bin/sh
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin

# m h dom mon dow user  command
17 *    * * *   root    cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly
25 6    * * *   root    test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily )
47 6    * * 7   root    test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.weekly )
52 6    1 * *   root    test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.monthly )
0 22    * * 7   root    /usr/bin/sh /home/pi/killpir.sh
0 6     * * 7   root    /usr/bin/python /home/pi/pir.py

@seattlecajun said in MMM-GoogleMapsTraffic “breaks” mirror?:

  position: "upper-third",

please try it with:

position: "upper_third",

hey,

nice to welcome u ;)

I don’t use it, but as far as i know the default compliments module does that :)

https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/tree/master/modules/default/compliments

So u don’t have to install an extra module. Just edit your compliments module in your config.js

{
    module: "compliments",
        position: "lower_third",    // This can be any of the regions.
            // Best results in one of the middle regions like: lower_third
        config: {
            compliments: {
                anytime: [
                "Hey Tony"
                ],
                morning: [
                "Good morning",
                ],
                afternoon: [
                "Good afternoon",
                ],
                evening: [
                "Good evening",
                ]
            }
    }
},

You can also use more variables. Take a look here:

@Peter

Lets write here, so the other thread would not be filled up with this problem ;)

so u don’t know how it starts. That sound like u used the automatic installer and clicked “YES” when it asked u to start automatically.

Please type in console:

pm2 status
U will see a process name (probably “MagicMirror”)

now u can use
pm2 start MagicMirror to start MM
pm2 stop MagicMirror to stop MM
pm2 restart MagicMirror to restart MM

or even
pm2 logs MagicMirror to see logs and errors. Please try if i am right and then post the error log here

Here is nothing then a Gas station. :D

hmm…

To start it hidden just open your remoteControl with http://YOUR.RASPBERRY.IP.ADDRESS:8080/remote.html
Go to “Edit view” and hide the module. Then press “SAVE”
Note: Every time you change your config u need to do this again ;)

so now to your button problem…

please try this:

open a browser on your pc and type:

http://YOUR.RASPBERRY.IP.ADDRESS:8080/remote?action=HIDE&module=module_0_ImageSlideshow

http://YOUR.RASPBERRY.IP.ADDRESS:8080/remote?action=SHOW&module=module_0_ImageSlideshow

This should hide and show the module as these are the comments which the remote control is using.

If this works its probably a configuration problem with the PIN.

Don’t know what type u are using (BCM, w-pi, physical ??)

In your config you wrote Pin: 18, but in your first post u said 15…

Maybe try another one. For example u could use GPIO 29, which is physically Pin 40, which is BCM Pin 21…

So in your config u must write, that u are using Pin 21!

Ah sorry… the MMM was missing. should be this:

http://your.raspberry.ip.address:8080/remote?action=HIDE&module=module_0_MMM-ImageSlideshow

And

http://your.raspberry.ip.address:8080/remote?action=SHOW&module=module_0_MMM-ImageSlideshow
