    The broadcasting events of the default weather module seem not to respect units (tempUnits). I’m not aware that someone reported this Is it designed intentionally or just missing features? probably missing feature or meanwhile broken (the weather module was refactored several times) I think the best is to open an issue on github, thanks.

    Yes, I had the problem too. Two mistakes I made: the default value for the pollen might not be a default - so better include the line in your config Did it for you already: I went to https://opendata.dwd.de/climate_environment/health/alerts/s31fg.json and checked if your part region exists. It does, so this is fine. Also one mistake many people make is not to fully install: cd ~/MagicMirror/modules # adapt directory if you are using a different one git clone https://github.com/carstendirks/MMM-DWD-Pollen.git cd MMM-DWD-Pollen npm install # this can take a while The important part is the npm install which installs dependencies! For support always post your config. Here is mine - you can try my config to see if the problem is caused by a wrong config: module: "MMM-DWD-Pollen", position: "top_right", header: "Pollenwarnung", classes: 'scheduler', config: { // I use a schedule to only display it from spring to autumn! // module_schedule: {from: '00 8 1 3 *', to: '00 8 15 10 *' }, updateInterval: 5 * 60 * 60 * 1000, // every 5 hours DWD_region: 41, // Rhein-Westfälisches Tiefland icon: true, // Show icons or not pollenList: "Hasel,Erle,Esche,Birke,Graeser,Roggen,Beifuss,Ambrosia", // Which Pollen to display? showNullValue: false, //Show value or symbol if value is 0 } }, You might want to set showNullValue to true and also check in the json-Link if there are readings available (which currently there are)

    @Seregeth If I’m reading the documentation correctly, it works like this: You say: [wake word] [mirror name] [command] The module will then broadcast [notification]. So when you say “Alexa mirror off”, it’s telling the device “mirror” to use the notification named “off” (which is installed by default with the module). In order to get the behavior you describe, you’ll need to do an extra step that I’m not sure is in the documentation. But it’s not all that hard. You have the module installed and working already, so we’ll take that as a given. Work from the result back to the command. Start with the weather module and making it appear & disappear. Probably using MMM-pages but I’m sure there are other ways. With MMM-pages, you can configure it so that the notification SHOW_HIDDEN_PAGE with a package of “weather” will display the page with your weather module on it. Once you can successfully hide & display the weather module, move to the MMM-AlexaControl module. Now you configure AlexaControl to send the SHOW_HIDDEN_PAGE notification. Something like this: notifications: [ { name: 'show page 1', port: 11100, OnOff: false, notification: ['SHOW_HIDDEN_PAGE', 'weather'] } ] This configures your module to respond to an Alexa command of “show page 1” by sending the notification SHOW_HIDDEN_PAGE. Now you move to your phone and the Alexa app. You need to create a “routine” for your Alexa that responds to exactly the phrase that you want. The app interface is pretty intuitive so you shouldn’t have a problem. It basically reads as “When you say…” then “Alexa will…”. You want to configure it to match the phrase and give the command of “mirror show page 1”. Which will match the name of your Magic Mirror device followed by the command that you set up to send the notification. That should do it, more or less. If not, it should get you close enough that troubleshooting will close any gap.

    @N6NG and @sdetweil Hi All, Passing along some info as I was also having problems with my ASUS VZ27EHE monitor staying off / my monitor coming back on with MMM-PIR-Sensor-Lite. The display would turn off, then a blue screen come on saying “HDMI No Signal” but then automatically turned back on. I used both xrandr and xset commands but nothing worked on my pi 4 running Bullseye. After some digging and looking at this site “https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/issues/2517”, I replaced the code in the node_helper.js (I know you’re not supposed to touch but this is what worked for me) and it works now. The only issue is on reboot, I have to run a command once to avoid the screen going to a gray state xsetroot -display :0 -solid Black. case 'xset': exec("xset -display :0 s noblank", null);//default: xset dpms force off //Have to run 'xsetroot -display :0 -solid Black' on reboot to avoid gray screen exec("sleep 1", null); exec("xset -display :0 s off", null); exec("sleep 1", null); exec("xset -display :0 -dpms", null); exec("sleep 1", null); exec("xset -display :0 s 0 0", null); exec("sleep 1", null); exec("xset -display :0 dpms 0 0 0", null); exec("sleep 1", null); exec("xset dpms force off", null); Don’t ask me how it works and I’ll give credit to E3V3A for posting that code. Hopefully this will help for those with a non-CEC compliant monitor and can fully turn off the monitor when not in use.

    @TangoE30 A quick update and I finally think I figured it out, at least for MMM-OpenWeatherForecast by: Subscribing to Open Weather’s One Call by Call (https://openweathermap.org/price) Changing my node_helper.js line 44 from 2.5 to 3.0 : var url = https://api.openweathermap.org/data/3.0/onecall?" I hope this helps someone else because it was difficult for me to understand why some modules would work and others would not with the same API key.
