MMM-PIR-Sensor Guide with Edits and Updates

ardentaardvark

@msherwood Hey FYI I just got my lastest build (from scratch yesterday) working with MMM-PIR-Sensor:

I also found that npm install wiring-pi installed the old (2.25) version for me. I found a newer library:

npm install wiring-pi-2019

which installs version 2.5 (this one works on my pi4!).

I also found that the location of the tvservice binary has changed, so I just used the following bash commands:

sudo chmod u+s `which tvservice`
sudo chmod u+s `which chvt`

It then worked for me (Note, I did not modify the node_helper.js script at all.)

Hi all, unfortunately I’m not too familiar with coding but had this module failed to update today having followed the steps above which worked fine with the previous version.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Thanks

Fozi

@dubalda can you elaborate more detailed the failure, e.g, error message or similar?

Feedy88

I am curious to know if there is a benefit by using the MM-Module for the PIR vs. the executable script which can be autostarted with pm2 (as per this tutorial). Can anyone help?

dubalda

@Fozi thank you for coming back to me. Here are the error messages I’m getting…apologies if it’s quite long! I unfortunately wasn’t able to upload the log file.

I‘d delete the module and re-install it. Obviously you haven’t changed any code (no info on stashing in the log). Your configuration will not be affected when you delete the module, it‘ll persist in config. js.

stop all processes with entering pm2 stop all.
cd to the module folder and enter: sudo rm -R MMM-PIR-Sensor. This will recursively remove the MMM-PIR-Sensor folder and it’s contents.
Re-install the module as described on GitHub. The installation build process should run through without errors.
Reboot

sdetweil

@Fozi rm -rf foldername will recursively remove all folders and content from foldername

sdetweil

@sdetweil looks like the wrong compiler level being used for the recompile.

dubalda

Thanks guys, sorry for the late response! It’s the summer holidays so I’ve been doing daddy day care. I’ll try removing the module and reinstalling it. I’ll keep you posted.

@Feedy88
Works with out any problems, much better solution then MMM-PIR-Sensor.
Thanks
