MMM-ModuleScheduler - Module Schedules and Notifications

[cowboysdude]

Well as it turns out… had an issue and had to use my img backup to reinstall the mirror… little did I know I had this already set up and working on the img so it does!!! :)

@cowboysdude Glad to hear it works!

[cowboysdude]

I must have had it setup wrong so that was my fault… like I said it’s working! Thank you!

Just curious would it be possible not to hide but to dim specific modules?

@cowboysdude adding a css filter to the specific module could set the brightness down

I’ve pushed an update which includes the ability to dim a module. Please feel free to update the module and use the example configuration to test it out.

Hey @ianperrin

Great module by the way. Im messing about with it, and works really well.

Do you think it would be possible to broadcast a notification to the module(s) that are being shown / hidden so they could react to it?

So for example if any given module were able to check for SHOW_MODULE, HIDE_MODULE or DIM_MODULE in the notificationReceived function so that the module could react to it and handle some specific behaviour?

What do you think?

@dr4ke616 hide module will call the hide method of the module

quote from the readme When a module is hidden (using the module.hide() method), the suspend() method will be called. By subclassing this method you can perform tasks like halting the update timers. so you can do the specific behaviour you want in there

for show module it’s the resume method
