Unable to make EXT-Pir work

agentsingh007

Forum Members,

I am a past user of MMM-NewPIR that used to work great. I am now trying to migrate to EXT-Screen and EXT-Pir to turn the display on and off based on motion near the Mirror.

I have installed EXT-Screen and EXT-Pir and below are my configs. The logs show PIR is activated and it shows notifications when someone walks by but the display does not turn off after inactivity. Can you please help? I realise this is a very simple case that should work out of the box but I am having issues and I have read through the wiki

Config.js

               {
			module: "EXT-Screen",
  			position: "top_center",
  			config: {
				debug: true,
				delay: 2 * 60 * 1000,
				turnOffDisplay: true,
				mode: 1,
				displayStyle: "SemiCircle",
  			}
		},
		{
			module: "EXT-Pir",
			config: {
				debug: true,
				gpio: 17,
				reverseValue: false
			}
		},

Hello Bugsounet,

I deleted the EXT-Screen, pulled it from git, and re-installed it. Everything works like a charm!

Thank you for an excellent plugin and quick response!

Hi, it’s not related to EXT-Pir. It’s only read Pir sensor state, it’s started and works correctly (it detect presence)

BUT EXT-Screen is not installed (No helper found for module: EXT-Screen.) :
EXT-Screen will read EXT-Pir state and apply some rules
So let’s install EXT-Screen
