Mykle1, your project is an inspiration for this other old man (62) in the Netherlands.
The RPI is running, old monitor is found, so I can start the project!
It will take a lot of reading and searching!

@Peter

Hello from NYC, Peter!

You can do it. It takes a little time and patience but it is a lot of fun and very rewarding. Let me know if I can help you

Peter

Thanks to you and Michael Teeuw the MM is the best project for RPI I have ever seen.
I appreciate your interest and help.
I just succeeded in adding a MMM (Earth)( happy me!).
Things that do not work up till now: MM does not start automatically and I still have to find out how to combine two Calendars.

That is, without a doubt, the nicest and coolest thing anyone has ever said to me here. However, MT deserves all the credit.

@Lepracon68 that would be nice!

@Mykle1 Thanks for the Calendar; I will try that.
Autostart: I followed the instructions several times, but it does not work.
It will work one day …
Isn’t this what makes a project so nice to work on: trying until the magic happens?

@Peter

Pay particular attention to this line:

PM2 will now show you a command you need to execute.

Most people miss this step. You have to execute the command that appears.

And lastly, you have to save the PM2 state
