Hey @cowboysdude, thanks for another great module!

You should update the readme with the correct link for cloning:

git clone https://github.com/cowboysdude/MMM-PNews.git

This will save precious seconds for us copy-pasters ;)

@jc21 just for closure here I found the issue. After running the python script again I realised that the PIR was always HIGH even with the sensitivty dialled right down.

So I checked the leads going into the pi and found that, despite checking it many times, I’d mixed up GND and VCC :(

The lesson for any other idiots out there when testing is, run this Python script and make sure that the PIR stops broadcasting “Motion Detected!” when you cover it with something:

from gpiozero import MotionSensor
import os

pir= MotionSensor(22) //the gpio pin PIR OUT is connected to
while True:
               if pir.motion_detected:
               print (“Motion Detected!”)

Code from this site

With some further adjustments for sensitivity it’s now working great!

@Mitchfarino I grew up in Penwortham.

You’re right! An area around Oslo and to the North of the city is showing an incorrect temprature on the site.

I’ve submitted an issue to them. Hopefully they’ll fix it soon.

I’m currently in Oslo, Norway.

@bhepler @fox I had the same problem and followed the steps here to reinstall electron. It worked for me without further changes.

Thanks!
