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 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 :(

@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… :/

@Jopyth I had the same problem.
Your work-around (installation) worked for me but the sensor does not seem to do anything…
the test.py script shows me always “1” - also when nothing is moving in the room…
