Yep, alreay did that.

This is my config included is the scheduling part.

{
                        module: 'MMM-Valentine',
                        position: 'fullscreen_above',
                        classes: 'scheduler',
                        config: {
                                // display the module only on the 14th of february
                                module_schedule: {from: '0 7 14 02 *', to: '30 23 14 02 *' },
                                valentinesCount: 25,
                                valentinesSize: 2.00,
                        }
                },

I have been struggling with the 2 asterixes behind the “minutes and hours” values but before the “day of the week” value. Cron revealed that they probably are “Day of the month” and “month of the year”.
I am a Noob, and all of the scheduling examples had wildcards there. I feel fairly confident this is going to work.

@Hein-Jan I’m not very familiar with MMM-ModuleScheduler but I have some experience with cron jobs

It typically goes like this [minute] [hour] [day of the month] [month] [day of the week]

in your module_schedule: {from: '0 7 14 02 *', to: '30 23 14 02 *' } I would replace month number from 02 to 2 (allowed values for that field are 1 through 12). So it would read like module_schedule: {from: '0 7 14 2 *', to: '30 23 14 2 *' }

Your from value would translate to something like at 07:00am on 14th day of the month in February (it can be any day of the week) in human language

and your to value would read as at 11:30pm (or 23:30) on 14th day of the month in February (it can be any day of the week).

Hope this helps.

@morozgrafix So cool!

[roramirez]

@morozgrafix The other idea is create a module template like this where include this type, snow, new year, etc… in one module.

[morozgrafix]

@roramirez Yes you are right, I also thought about idea of general module that can be configured with various images or possibly have a schedule that will pick images from different folders and be hidden rest of the time.

@morozgrafix That’s exactly what I was thinking…
