        Been using Carousel for a few years now and it works great. You can have pretty much as many modules as you want circulate through with it.
        I would like to have the ability to have each or individual modules timed to stay up longer or shorter time periods, but have not really dove into working out that small issue with carousel…

        Slow learner. But trying anyways.

          I keep getting a need for user name and password to git clone your module.
          WHY?
          None of the other modules are doing this.

            @plainbroke so, on your individual modules thought.

            longer, what would you do if it’s page is rolling out?,
            so do you have an undeclared page in the rotation suddenly? , or does it extend the page time?
            shorter, you want it to hide on its page before the page changes?

                    @plainbroke the question was is this a page, or a module on a page you want to control.

                              Ok,
                              I would like for the mmm-photo module running in carousel to stay running for 3-5 minutes and then for the next module to run at 90 seconds and that continue for the next 37 modules until It comes back around to the photos one again and I want it to run for the 3-5 minutes again… I have a BUNCH of pictures of my Grand kids I like to see as many as possible. each time they come around on the mirror.

                                    @plainbroke said in MMM-ModulesGroupsRotation - simple alternative to MMM-pages:

                                           ["MMM-ImagesPhotos", "clock", "compliments"],
                                    

                                    I only see one that that display images that I am aware of… and it has 3 modules.

                                      Well it could have only the one. I could put clock and compliments in the ignore part. if that would make a difference?

                                      Slow learner. But trying anyways.

                                        @plainbroke just trying to understand the words…

                                        you said module, but you meant page.

                                          @plainbroke ok here you go

                                          cd ~/MagicMirror/modules
                                          rename current MMM-Carousel folder to something else

                                          git clone https://github.com/sdetweil/MMM-Carousel

                                          same config.js with one addition

                                          new field

                                          slideTimeout: [
                                             { index: 0, timeout:5*60*1000},   // this one is more than your transitionInterval
                                             { index: 12: timeout: 1*60*1000} // this one is less than  your transition interval
                                          ],
                                          

                                          index starts at 0 for 1st slide in the slides list
                                          you can override as many as you like with different settings for each

                                          the timeout value is in milliseconds like the transitionInterval

                                          if any slide’s index is not in the slideTimeout list,
                                          then it gets the transitionInterval delay time

                                          if you don’t add any slideTimeout entries, it just like the previous module…

                                          the slideTimeout list does not have to be in any particular order

                                            @plainbroke I decided that index was a lousy term , slideNumber is better and starts with 1

                                            it is a more human thing…

                                            either will work, index starting at 0, or slideNumber start at 1

                                            I have updated the readme as well.
