@Jopyth
thank you for the updated script!
the new script also shows me “Intruder detected” … i tried many variations of time and sensitivity adjustments…
I found another script on the internet:
from gpiozero import MotionSensor
pir = MotionSensor(4)
while True:
if pir.motion_detected:
print("Motion detected!")
This script shows me also the “Motion detected” all the time…
Maybe the PIR-Sensor itself is the problem… I will try with another Sensor next week :(
hi there,
finally i had the time to work / finish my magic mirror.
Just the PIR-Sensor-Plugin doesn’t work… After I updated the MM to 2.1.1 I did a fresh install of the script which worked without an error. Yay!
BUT the script is not turning off my monitor… I connected the sensor to GPIO04 / BCM07 and tried to change the SensorPin-Number (from 4 to 7)
I put the sensor in a black box so the display should shut down after starting Magic Mirror, right?

@Jopyth Thank you for your quick reply! :)
I tried for hours now… I think it’s connected correctly, because when I’m switching the pin-number in the script the script shows me always “0” - with the correct pin-number it shows me “1”…
I also put the sensor in a box - always shows me “1”… completely strange… :/
