Great stuff. People shouldn’t discount a faulty PIR either. The one I had on the shelf for ages wasn’t detecting quite right so I ordered another one and the difference in detection is huge. I’m not sure if these have a shelf life or what but yeah, that was my recent experience.

Description

This is my first module so don’t expect too much :p

This enables realtime notifications from IFTTT to your MagicMirror install, via a JSON POST endpoint of the mirror. Full instructions in the project:

Technically, this module could be used for any webhook service such as Zapier too.

Wow that is not obvious or documented.

However, that worked :) Thanks heaps!

Try:

sudo npm install -g electron

If you get any errors with that command then something needs fixing outside of the MagicMirror package and installation.

This guide should cover it. Although that is for older raspberry pi models but still worth a read.

For raspberry pi 3 I’ve connected the pins [DI to 20] and [CI to 24] as labelled in this image.

Update: Added support for my new MMM-Sounds module. Notification integration instructions are in the updated MMM-IFTTT readme.

@shgmongohh I have forked the original MMM-Pir-Sensor repo and made some mods to debug my own sensor last week.

If you add debug: true to the config of my forked code, you’ll get console info about when the sensor detects motion and when it doesn’t. Also note, I’ve renamed the sensorPIN config item to sensorGpio to more accurately indicate the numeric determination.

@paulocarrasco Pull again now.

Made the noob mistake of not testing, I wasn’t near my mirror at the time. All good now.
