Show Module based on date
-
Id like to display a module based on a date and time.
For example a commute Module to only show if its in the morning during a weekeday.Anyway to do this?
-
@soldado48 Just about anything is possible. You can add config entries to show or hide a module based on day/date … time would be a bit more difficult but doable.
-
@cowboysdude where that day/date?
in the base?
-
A combination of
cronand somecommandable - Notification emittablemodules would work. -
@MMRIZE yes, but not in the base.
have to add other stuff
cron and remotecontrol
or something like that -
You can add the MMMRemoteControl Module to your config file. In a seperat Script you can send commands to Show or hide modules. You can run the Script in python for example.
-
I’m doing this on my setup, I’m using “MMM-ProfileSwitcher”. There you can do just about anything regarding showing a / a group of modules on different times/ dates…
I group mu modules with the “classes” option…
So the clock looks like this:{ disabled: false, module: "clock", hiddenOnStartup: true, position: "top_left", header: "Datum och tid", classes: "default Erik Camilla Louise Media Jobba Väder Födelsedag small", config: { showDate: true, dateFormat: "YYYY-MM-DD", showWeek: true } },It’s shown for almost all profiles… :)
Here are some parts of my conf…
My global settings for the module... { disabled: false, module: "MMM-ProfileSwitcher", hiddenOnStartup: true, header: "Profile", classes: "none", config: { title: false, useLockStrings: false, defaultTime: 600000, enterMessages: { "Erik Camilla Louise Kakan Cappuccino": "Hej %profile%!", "Erik": ["Hoppas dagen varit bra Erik!", "Ser man på, välkommen Erik!", "Kul att se dig Erik!"], "Camilla": ["Toppendag hoppas jag, Camilla!", "Oh, trevligt att se dig Camilla!", "Kul att se dig Camilla!"], "Louise": ["Kul i skolan idag Louise?", "Lekt något skoj idag Louise?", "Kul att se dig Louise!"], "Media": ["Hej, här är allt nytt!", "Här finns mycket nytt!", "Ny media!", "Hoppas det finns något att se."], "Jobba": ["Dags att jobba nu!", "Jobba på nu!", "Var på tiden!", "Dagen är inte slut än!"], "Klocka": ["Var på tiden!"], "Väder": ["Dags för väder!", "Här är allt om vädret!", "Hoppas det blir fint väder.", "Glöm inte att kolla vädret!"], "Skattjakt": ["Skattjakten är igång!", "Nu blir det skattjakt!", "Äntligen skattjakt!"], "Grattis": ["Bra jobbat!", "Grattis!"], }, leaveMessages: { "everyone": "Hejdå %profile%...", "Erik": ["Hejdå, jag kommer sakna dig...", true], "Camilla": ["Hejdå Camilla.", true], "Louise": ["Hejdå Louise.", true], "Media": ["Hoppas du hittade något.", true], "Jobba": ["Jobbat klart redan!?", true], "Klocka": ["Slut på tiden.", true], "Väder": ["Ha så trevligt.", true], "Skattjakt": ["Hoppas det varit kul!"], "Grattis": ["Ses om ett år..."], }, timers: { "Erik": {}, "Camilla": {}, "Louise": {}, "Kakan": {}, "Cappuccino": {}, "Klocka": {}, }, ignoreModules: ["alert", "updatenotification"] } }, Then I have a specific module for halloween.... :) { disabled: false, module: 'MMM-Videoplayer', hiddenOnStartup: true, position:

Hi there,
I’ve recently written a module to inject custom code/styles for simple tasks and modifications like this. https://github.com/shin10/MMM-FF-code-injector
The following config for example will show the clock module only Mon - Fri, 06:00 - 10:00. I just tested it with MMM-Pages and it works quite nice.
{ module: "MMM-FF-code-injector", disabled: false, config: { position: "top", scripts: { intervals:[ { interval: 60 * 1000, // test all 60 seconds description: "Show module only Mon - Fri, 06:00 - 10:00", func: function() { MM.getModules().enumerate((module) => { if (module.name === "clock") { // name of the module to show/hide let now = new Date(); let day = now.getDay(); if (day >= 1 && day <= 5) { // mon -fri let hour = now.getHours(); if(hour >= 6 && hour <= 10) { // 06:00 - 10:00 module.show(1000, { lockString: "code-injector"}); return } } module.hide(1000, { lockString: "code-injector"}); } }); } }] }, }, }, -
@shin10 you could also use node-cron library and then you wouldn’t have to have all this date/time checking
-
@sdetweil For sure. I just hadn’t thought about that usecase till now. It’s just a little helper to things done without the need for writing a dedicated module and do some hacking. So I’d prefer to keep it free of dependencies.
That said, anyone in the need for a cron might be better off with MMM-ModuleScheduler. Hadn’t known about this (I’m pretty new to MM), but it seems to be the one @Snille is actually using, despite he mentioned the profile switcher instead? And it seems to do exactly what the the op asked for: https://github.com/ianperrin/MMM-ModuleScheduler#individual-module-schedules
