@doubleT said in MMM-PIR does not shutoff sometimes:

What is a PIR Sensor? It’s Passive Infrared Sensor, that measures infrared light radiation from objects, that is: heat radiation.

Does a PIR sensor sense light change? No. But it can detect a light source if it heats up fast enough when it’s on. So it could detect an old lightbulb – if that lightbulb is in view – but probably not a cold LED.

Does a PIR sensor sense motion or movement? No. If you drag something through it’s field of view that is not emitting heat, the sensor won’t detect it.

So, there’s probably something in its field of view that is emitting heat. A hot lightbulb, a radiatior, an animal, someone sitting there, even though that person seems motionless. If you’re watching it, it may be detecting you.

Does it turn off after ~ 120 seconds if you really leave the room, close the door, stay behind the sensor? Maybe it’s not correctly set up or cables aren’t correctly attached? Or it’s a faulty PIR …

Thank you, i did not know this. This explains a lot, it could also be that its not corrent attached, so it could get the heat of the MagicMirror housing?!

Hi
I am using the PiR since beginning of my MM journey.
But i‘ve Observed that the monitor stays sometimes on for many many minutes (timeout 120sec)
What could be the reason?
There is no light change or movement in the room.
And I have played with the potentiometers in the PIR-PCB

@mykle1
thank you very much for your amazing module. We love it.
I did not find a thread to your module, how can i set all ? And if not selectable to take randomly all sections, how can i select more than one?
E.g.

lifeForm: "Bald Eagle",

After every MagicMirror update i have to set up the MagicMirror from scratch.
It crashed my system completely.
So if you dont want to have hours of time and headache, simply do not update your system.
I had the same problem when i did the last update.
My journey yesterday

MagicMirror will not quit, but it might be a good idea to check why this happene                                                                                                                     d. Maybe no internet connection?
If you think this really is an issue, please open an issue on GitHub: https://gi                                                                                                                     thub.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/issues

But it does not start.
