One of my favorite Modules!!! So Excited that this is officially released! Just installed this one on my mirror again (since my old one crashed lol). Still looks fantastic. Great job!

Wow, you just made my day. I’m glad you enjoy it and thank you for your kind words. :thumbsup_tone1:

I updated and annotated the css file so you can shape and color the module just about any way you want to with a simple copy and paste into your custom.css file.

Honestly, I was going to mess with the css this time around, but the default module setup, looks fantastic and works perfectly for my purpose. Seriously, this is such a fun module.

Well, it’s there if you want to experiment with it. Each entry comes with an explanation so you’ll know exactly what it does. All you need do is change the values to your liking. :-)

Seriously, this is such a fun module.

Again, I thank you, and I couldn’t be more pleased that you are enjoying it. Have a great day!

@Mykle1 so when will the code and instructables for the BartenderBot be released? We need automation in the making of the drinks, too! Choose your drink on your mirror and bam, BartenderBot makes it for you!

Hey up Amigo… Nice Module…

Hi johnny. How are you? And thank you.

Can you clarify for me?

The source data I am using for this module is randomized by the API site itself and it only changes the drink once a day, based on the date. So, even though the default updateInterval is one hour, the source wont update until it sees the date has changed.

Is there any way to have the cocktails like Compliments rotation, but obviously slower… to say, about 10mins each cocktail?

There is, however, if I were to do that (I don’t have any plans to) then the drinks would no longer be random (I like that) and the drinks would display in the order of the archive. (Example: All drinks in alphabetical order. A’s, then B’s, then C’s and so on).

And is it possible to add to the list? I have a good few that I doubt will be on your list, but wouldn’t mind adding them into my mirror list

I don’t think so. Not as things are. If the data for all the drinks was a local file that was included with the module then it would be possible but the data comes from the API site. I might revisit this module at some point to see what I can do to improve it. It is my very first module and I would be remiss if I didn’t thank @cowboysdude for his help, patience and guidance.

but I would have liked one that randomises every so often > to see whats on offer.

I actually went and checked the API source again (just for you Amigo) and the database is NOT a single source which would be simple enough to implement what you are asking for. There are at least 26 sources (A-Z) for alcohol and 26 more for non-alcohol and a slew of others (name, ID #, vodka, gin, whiskey, and on and on etc etc). I’ve looked for another API but this one seems to be it.
