Experience with MMM-WebUntis?

[kai]

Hi,
does anyone have experience with the MMM-WebUntis module?

I have installed it as indicated and, in my opinion, configured it correctly. It does not display any data even though there are changes to the timetable.
thyed explains on GitHub that his module is based on MMM-Wunderlist which is out of maintenance for more than 4 years - maybe that could be a reason why MMM-WebUntis doesn’t work properly?

If anyone has any experience, tips or ideas, I would be very grateful.
Thank you very much!

May the code be with you

@kai I used it until last year, then this issue occured. Maybe check your logs with

pm2 logs MagicMirror --lines=500

to see if you have the same issue.

the package.json contains "webuntis": "latest" so it will always install the latest version of this dependency.

I suspect that there were breaking changes within some versions, you could try an older version (see https://github.com/SchoolUtils/WebUntis/tags).

You have to update package.json with e.g. "webuntis": "2.2.1" and execute npm install in the module folder.

@karsten13 thanks for the hint, I tried several versions, the issue still persists.

@rabbit83ka I got it working, with a few modifications, so i can use the qr codes from my kids (our school uses MS365 Accounts for login, so unfortunately the username + password didn’t work…). You can find it here: https://github.com/heikogr/MMM-WebUntis wich is forked from https://github.com/r3wald/MMM-Webuntis wich is forked from https://github.com/thyed/MMM-Webuntis

@HeikoGr Great, it works again. Thanks for your effort!

@HeikoGr , one addition: until 2023, there was a very compact layout of the module (screenshot still in the readme). Then there was this PR, and the new layout is very space consuming with more then one child/student. Maybe it’s feasible to use both layouts (old and new) by a config switch, but I’m a mechanical engineer, not a programmer… but I could test the modifications.

@rabbit83ka I‘m not a developer either, but i think this is something i could do. But maybe it will take a few days

@rabbit83ka you can try my newest commit (https://github.com/HeikoGr/MMM-Webuntis/). just add a line to your config.js:

mode: "compact",

@HeikoGr Thank you! Works great and saves a lot of space.
