@sil3ntstorm Hey, ich nutze noch MMM-MyCalendar. Damit es aber richtig läuft, musste ich noch npm install request und npm install valid-url ausführen. In den letzten Updates vom MagicMirror wurden diese entfernt.

@thgmirror Yep, that is what I’ll do next. Already ordered a starter kit with resistors, inductors and capacitors.

I also noticed, even if I added the ferrite beat, that the sensor recevied every minute excact on the second a signal

Hi @zoltan - I was reviewing your tutorial. Really good documented. I have a question about the wiring drawing you shared. I’m new to it and dont understand everything. But I’m a fast learner :-)

In your drawing you added a couple of symbols. I guess these are resistors and filters, right?

Numbers 1, 2 and 3 look similar, only with a diffrent capacity. Is that a Capacitor?
What are 4 and 5? Is that a conductor? What capacity is here needed?
And number 6, not sure. Is that a RND or a resistor?

@fozi Yes! I followed your instructions in detail - that was very helpful. And yes, I noticed how sensitive it is. In your tutorial you removed the the tiny SMD resistor soldered and replaced that. What if I just remove it and not replace it. Is the range than completely gone and doesent work anymore?

Hey folks - thanks for your answers. I decided to goahed with a RCWL-0516. But have the same issues. I’m testing the sensitivity with a python script. I also covered it in alu foil - no change. Now I ordered a ferrite beat and will add to the cables (around all of the them or only GND, 5v or Output?)

I’m also thinking about adding a low pass filter, but I have no experience with that. Where do I have to add that? GND & Output?

Hi @bjoern - schau mal in diesem Post: https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/11177/display-colored-emoji?_=1637417880966

Hier gab es mehrere Methoden. Ich hatte meine auch gepostet.

Hey folks - Ive added a new gadget to my MagicMirror: HC-SR501 PIR sensor. I was able to set it properly up with MMM-NewPIR. But I noticed that I have a lot of false positive detections (every 4-5 min.). Even if my sensitivity is as low as possible.

Do you have any recommendations to reduce the false positive rate?

@mumblebaj I guess I found the problem. The new option sortBy was causing the issue. In the everything config example is sortbywith a small b and not with a capital B sortBy.

@mumblebaj I guess I need your help again because the module isnt showing any news anymore. The console is showing me following error:

For testing prupose I used also your default config setting:

{
                module: "MMM-NewsAPI",
                header: "news",
                position: "bottom_bar",
                config: {
                        apiKey: "XXXXXXXXX",
                        type: "horizontal",
                        choice: "everything",
                        pageSize: 10,
                        sortby: "publishedAt",
                        drawInterval: 1000*30,
                        templateFile: "template.html",
                        fetchInterval: 1000*60*60,
                        query: {
                                country: "",
                                category: "",
                                q: "",
                                qInTitle: "",
                                sources: "",
                                domains: "cnn.com,nytimes.com,news24.com",
                                excludeDomains: "",
                                language: ""
                        }
                }
        },

I also created another API Key but same error.
And yes, I tested multiple parameter settings. Always the same.

@mumblebaj That is what I mean. It is just a list with a description ordered alphabetically and not ordered as “published date”. Sometimes I’m scrolling through and see if something new appears but it isnt really possible.
