Try again what PtrBld suggested with calibrating the PIR Sensor Tuning by turning the knobs so see if you get different results.

Otherwise, this image show you which pins you have connected. If oyou have it set up the way PtrBld suggested, you change the code to 24.

You have 5v, Ground, then GPIO.

I know its the off season now but any developments on cup support, i.e. Champions League?

@pepemujica Good way to make sure you have it connected correctly and that the PIR is operating is to try out the python code in the link I sent.

from gpiozero import MotionSensor

pir = MotionSensor(4)
while True:
    if pir.motion_detected:
        print("Motion detected!")

Keeping in mind for both this code and the module that you have the correct pin number.

Those kind of reddit posts make me wish I took photos when I built mine. Looks great.

I seen an article of someone doing it, but it was its own project. Unaffiliate with the MagicMirror.

Not looked into it. I made an AlexaPi and the only dissapointing thing about it is that it doesn’t play Spotify or Prime Music. I was looking into the possibility of using this but it was an after thought about a week ago.

I have it wired a little different. I have it connected to a different GPIO Pin.

Following this guide worked beautifully.

Perfect along with MMM-RemoteControl to hide and enable it when I am testing.

I set up my AlexaPi with the Device ID “SmartMirror” rather than “magicmirror”

Is there anyway I can change what the ID needs to be rather than run through the whole setup again for the Alexa?

I went with the supplier I linked. Worked a treat.
