modules day and time Depending represented

@ianperrin Thank you! I’ll give that a go when I get home from work. This module is just about the handiest things I have seen!!!

I guess had I investigated cron I could have found that out myself… sorry.

With this I no longer wish the pi to ‘go to sleep’… I just show certain things at certain times and always leave the time and date on… it’s just amazing!!! You don’t realize how useful and important something sometimes until you have it!

Thanks again!

Glad to help and no need to apologise at all

Not implemented this yet @ianperrin , but this is an incredible contribution. We can make much more use of the modules now, rather than being limited to a certain number

@shashank i configured this scheduler today with Calendar and Wunderground, after the end time the module will not disappear, i need to stop and start the MM.

{
module: ‘calendar’,
header: ‘US Holidays’,
position: ‘top_left’,
classes: ‘scheduler’,
config: {
// DISPLAY THE CALENDAR BETWEEN 09:00 and 18:00 ON WEDNESDAYS
module_schedule: {from: ‘0 9 * * FRI’, to: ‘20 21 * * SAT’ },
calendars: [
{
symbol: 'calendar-check-o ',
url: ‘webcal://www.calendarlabs.com/templates/ical/US-Holidays.ics’
}
]
}
},

Looking at your config, I can see a couple of potential issues

Firstly, make sure you use straight apostrophes (') not curly ones (‘ ’).

Secondly, the expressions in the module_schedule config option (module_schedule: {from: '0 9 * * FRI', to: '20 21 * * SAT' },) should schedule the calendar so it is displayed at 09:00 on Friday and be hidden at 21:20 on Saturday.

Is this what you intended? If so, check the logs (pm2 logs mm), you should see something like this.

MMM-ModuleScheduler received CREATE_MODULE_SCHEDULE
MMM-ModuleScheduler is scheduling calendar using '0 9 * * FRI' and '20 21 * * SAT'
MMM-ModuleScheduler has scheduled calendar
MMM-ModuleScheduler will next show calendar at Fri Sep 23 2016 09:00:00 GMT+0000 (UTC)
MMM-ModuleScheduler will next hide calendar at Sat Sep 17 2016 21:20:00 GMT+0000 (UTC)

Note the last two lines will vary depending on when start the mirror. In the example above started the mirror at 17:00 on Saturday, so the next ‘show’ (from) date is next friday (23rd) and the next hide (to) date is tonight.

Hope this helps

@ianperrin

Sorry for the odd question, will this work on a windows PC?

I’m testing the mirror on the PC before I deploy to my Pi, and this module doesn’t seem to be working
