MONITORON on does not work in schedule

[dazza120]

@rts58 ok Looking at the read me it’s these at the end from my basic understanding

]
        }
    },

@rts58 so whole code should be

module: 'MMM-ModuleScheduler',
        config: {
	    // Show all modules at 9:15 every day and hide at 11:45
	   global_schedule: {from: '15 9 * * *', to: '45 23 * * *'},
            notification_schedule: [
                // TURN THE MONITOR/SCREEN ON AT 09:30 EVERY DAY
                {notification:
 'REMOTE_ACTION', schedule: '30 9 * * *', payload: {action: "MONITORON"}},
                // TURN THE MONITOR/SCREEN OFF AT 11:30pm EVERY DAY
                {notification: 
'REMOTE_ACTION', schedule: '30 23 * * *', payload: {action: "MONITOROFF"}},
                // RESTART THE MAGICMIRROR PROCESS AT 2am EVERY SUNDAY
                {notification: 
'REMOTE_ACTION', schedule: '0 2 * * SUN', payload: {action: "RESTART"}}
            ]
        }
},

@dazza120 Thanks, I did not have the “,” after the last “}” because it is the last module in the config. I thought the extra “,” would cause a config error. But it does not. Hopeful for success in the morning!

It still did not come on this morning :frowning_face: . I just ran tail -130 ~/.pm2/logs/mm-out.log and found these results:

MMM-ModuleScheduler is removing all scheduled jobs

Again later in the output I found:

Powering on HDMI with preferred settings

So it looks like the schedule works and it is trying to turn the monitor on, it just didn’t work. (Thanks @dazza120 I don’t think the schedule was working before.) This morning when the monitor didn’t come on per the schedule, I used the remote web page, it came on fine. How can I find out why the monitor did not come on with the schedule??

Re: MONITORON on does not work in schedule

So for the last two days, this has been working correctly. I think it may be a combination of @dazza120 fix to my config, not messing with the pi for a full 2 days to let it fully run through it’s schedule, and removing openGL.
