Help with MMM-ModuleSchedule - not hiding

sdetweil

@cheminge thats crontab type

0 0 for hour minute means ONLY Then .not 1 min after midnight

* * 1 1
means anytime on 1/1

we support crontab in compliments, and i recommend
this site to get the 1st 5 tokens like needed here

I have noticed something strange with this module.

In my log I get this message :

[2025-02-01 09:42:27.196] [LOG]   MMM-ModuleScheduler is scheduling MMM-EasyPix using "* * 1 1 *" and "59 23 31 1 *" with dim level undefined
[2025-02-01 09:42:27.206] [WARN]  Month '1' is limited to '29' days.

February has “29” days. Not January.

So the month in my config file that I use from “https://crontab.guru/” doesn’t match what you would expect from this scheduler.

In the documentation it say
“Months 0-11 (Jan-Dec)”

I have updated to use this as a key:

Month
1 = February
2= March
3 = April
4 = May
5 = June
6 = July
7 = August
8 = September
9 = October
10 = November
11 = December

I noticed month “0” doesn’t work for January.

Now that we are in February, it seems to be working after I set what I want to see in February as the month to be “1”

@cheminge yes cron uses 0-11 for month

@sdetweil

I’m just saying that’s not what crontab.guru says:

it makes it confusing.

sdetweil

@cheminge yes, you are correct.
The Gen I linked to also uses 1 for January

Weird

I have updated my months to be words instead of numbers, and at first it was working, but now it is not hiding the second example module:

1st Example

module_schedule: {from: '* * * FEB *', to: '59 23 28 FEB *', dimLevel: '100'},

For March I am using:

2nd Example

module_schedule: {from: '* * * MAR *', to: '59 23 30 MAR *', dimLevel: '100'},

I would expect as of today (February 23rd, 2025) , the FEB would show, and it does. I don’t expect to see the MAR module, but it continues to show.

For now I have it committed it out, but How can I get this to hide for now, and start showing March 1st?

sdetweil

@cheminge i think dimlevel 0 is hidden
100 is shown

sdetweil

@cheminge also, what is the default behavior if the module(s) are not in the ‘current’ timeframe? or not in any schedule?
