      Oh thanks a lot for helping me ! I’ve been searching for the module on the whole Internet for days but didn’t find anything :persevering_face:
      And as I am not a Java developer, I can’t reinvent the wheel hehe

        You can go here to get free sunrise/set data:

        https://sunrise-sunset.org/api

        Then create a module that depending on time of day to display the image you want…

        Example of how I do it:
        var ev1= moment().format(“HH”); //get current hour
        var ev2 = moment(srss.sunrise).format(“HH”); //converts my free data to the format
        var ev3 = moment(srss.sunset).format(“HH”);
        var day = ‘modules/MMM-Whateveryourmoduleis/images/day.png’;
        var night = ‘modules/MMM-Whateveryourmoduleis/images/night.png’;
        Then build yourself an img like this:

        0_1542908382213_Capture.PNG

        That’ll do it.

          I’ll give it a try !
          However the two modules I’m using display pictures that are evolving everyday
          For example for the moon, the module shows the phase of the moon depending on the day we are… And the globe module shows the exposure of earth to the sun based on the time of the day as it uses pictures from satellites.

            Maybe you could tweak mmm-suncalc to send notifications at these events. That should be easy and useful for many others as well

                  @marcusjsh Well still doable. Does the return give you a json or xml return?
