MMM-SystemMonitor

btastic

Hello,

I wanted something to display my current system stats to monitor my magic mirror hardware.

There is a module called MMM-SystemStats, but it seemed buggy and was seemingly not maintained anymore. So I decided to make my own.

Feel free to discuss, ask questions or add suggestions for further development.

Best regards
Ben

@btastic Nice. If I hadn’t already done some stupid pi tricks to get that info into a notification so I can display it with MMM-Valuesbynotification…

@btastic MMM-Tools does that, too.

@lxne Ah bummer I didn’t know about it. Thats mostly what I had envisioned.

MMRIZE

MMM-Tools is archived. (with some complex history)
I rarely support that module. It became too far during on my absence from what it was, and I made at the first time. Anyway, I have left it as it currently is.
If you want to be a successor, always welcome.

@btastic to double down on what @MMRIZE said - taking over someone else’s archived module is an exceptional way to learn how to do things. I Would highly encourage it, as the author has directly said he’s okay with it. I did that with a module myself. Taught me so much about javascript working out bugs in an existing module and adding my own flair (and I really should get back on it for one bit…)

@BKeyport I will probably take a thing or two, but I think the code can be written a bit better by todays standards. The project is almost 6 years old and was probably refactored a few times. No offense towards @MMRIZE - thats probably one reason he does not want to develop it further without rewriting it.

@btastic You are right. Cheer up for your work!
I wish a new module which can be more flexible and modular with modern techniques, and especially, not dedicated to RPI(recently I never work with it), but I have not enough time and interest to do so…

@MMRIZE Thank you.

I want to make it OS independant too, but that will be a bit harder I think. I don’t have that much time either. But will work on it in the foreseeable future.
