@cruunnerr I just deleted the entire module and downloaded it again, following the instructions directly from the page.

To summarize, I know the sensor is working properly and connected to the right pin listed in the config file. I know nothing is wrong with the module i just downloaded it from github. I’ve posted the exact copy of my config file, no one seems to have a problem with that. What else could it be? For some reason the monitor wont shut off.

Its a Benq monitor connected to the raspberry pi via an hdmi cord.
Im not sure if this helps but when i type /opt/vc/bin/tvservice -s:
state 0x12000a [HDMI CEA (16) RGB lim 16:9], 1920x1080 @ 60.00Hz, progressive

@cruunnerr I’m using the correct pin. I made a python script shown below:

from gpiozero import MotionSensor
pir = MotionSensor(22)
while True:
if pir.motion_detected:
print(“motion detected”)
else:
print(“NOTHING”)

With this it will print nothing until i wave my hand in front of it then motion detected until i stop. So I know for a fact the PIR sensor is connected and working properly. Also there are no errors when I start magic mirror the only thing that is mentioned about MMM-PIR-Sensor is it says no helper found for module: MMM-PIR-SENSOR. Anyone have any idea

Hi guys, thanks for the help. Unfortunately that did not fix the issue…
I changed the code like you mentioned. Does anyone have any idea why the monitor never turns off. Googling the topic it seems other people have had a similar issue but no solutions ever been found.

Its very strange to me because with a python script I have it printing out when it detects motion and when it detects none and it works flawlessly. I have a feeling that for some reason the MMM-PIR-SENSOR isn’t actually connecting with the rest of my magic mirror when I start things up. Below is my entire config.js file.

modules: [

	{
		module: "clock",
		position: "top_left"
	},
	{
		module: "compliments",
		position: "lower_center"
	},
	{
		module: 'MMM-PIR-SENSOR',
		config: {
		sensorPIN: 22,
		powerSavingDelay: 120 // in seconds 
		}
	},
	{
		module: "newsfeed",
		position: "bottom_bar",
		config: {
			feeds: [
				{
					title: "New York Times",
					url: "http://www.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/HomePage.xml"
				}
			],
			showSourceTitle: true,
			showPublishDate: true
		}

	},
            {
                    module: "MMM-NFL",
                    position: "bottom_left",                              
            },
]

};

I just got my mirror up and running and was trying to install the PIR sensor module provided by @paviro (https://github.com/paviro/MMM-PIR-Sensor) but it doesn’t seem to be working. I followed the step by step instructions as written and still the screen does not turn off.

My modification to the modules config file looks like this.
{
module: “MMM-PIR-Sensor”,
}
I also ran the command /opt/vc/bin/tvservice -s and receive the output state 0x12000a [HDMI CEA (16) RGB lim 16:9], 1920x1080 @ 60.00Hz, progressive

I created a short python script to test if the sensor works and it does. But for some reason when I start up MagicMirror (using npm start) my webpage display shows up but the screen or display never turns off.

Anyone able to help?
