    @toxeek Just to let you know, I am not part of the core MagicMirror team and my answer is based on my personal interpretation of the situation.

    I wish you every success! 🚀 I would find it interesting if you could tell us about your project later.

    In an effort to help users NOT have to edit files to get started on different platforms we have added a new set of start options

    each has a start and a start:dev (to open the developers window)

    start, start-dev as before,
    but launches the X11 commands which work ‘most’ of the time

    start:x11, start-x11:dev
    explictly named using the x11 DISPLAY variable

    start:wayland, start-wayland:dev
    on the new PI os with the waylan compositor
    explictly named using the Wayland WAYLAND_DISPLAY variable

    start:windows, start-windows:dev
    for windows users

    "start": "npm run start:x11", "start:dev": "npm run start -- dev", "start:wayland": "WAYLAND_DISPLAY=\"${WAYLAND_DISPLAY:=wayland-1}\" ./node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland", "start:wayland:dev": "npm run start:wayland -- dev", "start:windows": ".\\node_modules\\.bin\\electron js\\electron.js", "start:windows:dev": "npm run start:windows -- dev", "start:x11": "DISPLAY=\"${DISPLAY:=:0}\" ./node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js", "start:x11:dev": "npm run start -- dev",

    these can be found in package.json in the script:{} section

    as a reminder, Openweather is terminating their free 2.5 level api . latest reports say starting next week Oct 14

    please take action to migrate to the 3.0 api and new apikey. this requires s credit card to be registered in case you go over the daily uncharged call limit, currently 1,000
    otherwise your weather modules ( default and others) WILL FAIL

    @sdetweil said in Github usage and module continuations:

    yeh, I don’t think that will happen… we are a volunteer team, and have plenty of existing core issues to deal with… hundreds of additional modules just won’t be possible.

    After seeing @KristjanESPERANTO list of modules, seeing that there are over a 1000, I think it is definitely not worth it to push everything to one repository. Especially with duplicates and/or obselete modules.

    Although, seeing the list of “default” modules be extended with 3rd party “verified” modules with proper continues integration (tests / and build workflows so it gets automatically build with every software update) would be great.

    @KristjanESPERANTO said in Github usage and module continuations:

    I’ve started working on a new list of modules, and doing some rudimentary tests (you can see the result here). A few developers have already started work through the recommendations there. Even though the whole project is still in its infancy, but with that we have a process of assessing the quality of modules. Perhaps the whole thing will develop in the direction of module installer or app store. We will see. I would be delighted if you would take a look at the project and maybe join in.

    I haven’t seen this yet, this looks pretty good. Awesome to see that there’s a different visual list to find modules and see when its last updated.

    As I said in the starting post, it would be nice to have a general sense of direction on how to improve the entire module base and it gets easier and there’s more overview whats available. But also make it easier for people to develop their module and have it gain traction across the community.

    I’ve been here in this forum for some time and I did not see this post.

    I’m Luis, and I was born in Barranquilla, Colombia. I’m currently living Canada for about 11 years. I am 42.

    I studied aeronautical engineering and I have a master in aviation management. I speak 5 languages so far. I work as a Reliability Analyst in the aerospace industry.

    I started using MagicMirror in 2020 as a hobby, to learn a bit of coding. Now with all the support of the community, I have a dashboard for me and my family at home. It works as an agenda, I check my car information, music playing at home, the bus schedule, a camera and even sport results.

    I’ll leave some pictures soon in “Show my mirror”.

    Greetings,
    Luis

    @plainbroke Are you running from a Pi?
    I used to have scheduled on/off times like this and I used to turn on/off the HDMI port of the Pi at the specified times.
    As the screen I had it attached to no longer detected an output source, it would then go into sleep mode until the assigned time the script enabled the HDMI interface again.

    I don’t recall the actual command/settings I used to do it, but it was similar to :
    // To turn off
    xrandr --output HDMI-1 --off
    //to turn on.
    xrandr --output HDMI-1 --auto

    in the v2.30.0 release there is a significant update to the calendar module.
    I believe all the date jump/timezone, daylight savings, issues are resolved…

    I have added testcases to the release to cover all the open issues…

    give it a try
    (please backup your MM config… this release requires an updated nodejs version, again…)

    @sdetweil

    Hey!

    Thanks for answering, and no I have not a backup of client SDcard,
    BUT trust me, I will have that in the future… but I have backup of my shell scripts, so it feels pretty ok anyways.
