Bugsounet and MMM-Pir

@MMaik100 yes, sadly all his modules will fail eventually, depending on how tight he coupled them

I also just looked for the module as I wanted to contribute some troubleshooting guide and didn’t find it.

As I have installed the module, what do you think about re-publishing it so that it doesn’t get lost?
It is MIT-license so no problem about that!

I have re-published it already: https://github.com/Coernel82/MMM-Pir

@coernel please add it to the third party list

Hi,

Is this the correct place to ask questions about the module?

If so, is there any way to test that it is actually running?

I have installed the module for using a PIR module but nothing appears in the screen in the place I requested it.

Thanks

@lif have you verified that the PIR is working outside of MagicMirror??

Yes,

@lif and you are using the correct pin definition

    Pir: {
      mode: 0,
      gpio: 21
    },

Yes, the working script is:
from gpiozero import MotionSensor
from datetime import datetime
import os, time
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO

pir = MotionSensor(21)
while True:

    pir.wait_for_motion()
    now = datetime.now()
    current_time = now.strftime("%H:%M:%S")
    print("Movement detected at", current_time)
    pir.wait_for_no_motion()

@lif I meant MMM-PIR config setup

there are different numbering schemes for GPIO pins and different ways to access

the doc (readme) describes the different choices.
