It might be interference. Try installing a ferrite bead. The person whose site I’ve linked below had a very similar problem and describes how he fixed it.

It’s what I had to do with mine… they are very inexpensive…
Thanks guys! Will try this once I get home tonight!
@jproehl Does your PIR sensor has a sensitivity and time option? Try playing with it and see if it works. Also, feel free to post pix of the wiring connection so we can visually verify. I also play around with the GPIO pins. Hope this helps!
Hi Folks!
I was wondering if there’s a way to limit the length of the description on the Wunderlist module just like the default calendar module where you can set the “maxTitleLength”? I’ve posted a pix and circled the issue I am having.
Thanks in advance!

Thanks @Renfield and @cowboysdude ! Followed your advice and found a ferrite bead on unused USB cable and got the PIR sensor working perfectly!

Same here. I verified all the connections and tested using the same script and it keeps printing “Motion detected!” Did you play around with the jumpers on your PIR? I am still trying to figure out if my PIR is defective.
@roramirez Experience the same issue and was fixed by following your instructions! Thanks a bunch!
@yawns Appreciate developing this module. Just added this to my “soon-to-be-completed” MM and looks good!
@cpramhofer Were you able to fix your problem?
