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

@strawberry-3.141 I didnt notice this - thanks for pointing it out. Thats exactly what i need!

Hi,

Great idea, i’ve tried your module but i does not work for me. I might have missed a step or something.

I did put in the config file your module (after download and setup with npm install))) :

{
   module: 'MMM-ModuleScheduler'
},

And then :

{
  module: 'MMM-WunderGround',
  position: 'top_right',
  config: {
    module_schedule: {from: '0 14 * * *', to: '0 18 * * *' },
    apikey: 'xxxxxxxxx', // private; don't share!
				pws: 'pws:IBOULOGN39', //culemborg
				hourly: '1',
				fctext: '1',
				fcdaycount: "5",
				fcdaystart: "0",
				hourlyinterval: "3",
				hourlycount: "2",
				alerttime: 10000,
				alerttruncatestring: "french:"
			},
			classes: 'for_all default'
		},

It’s 13:30 and the weather is still showing on the mirror.

Thanks for your help

You’re missing the trigger ;)

Here do this:

{
module: ‘MMM-WunderGround’,
position: ‘top_right’,
classes: 'scheduler',
config: {
module_schedule: {from: ‘0 14 * * *’, to: ‘0 18 * * *’ },
apikey: ‘ad100f1e35ae51d2’, // **private; don’t share!**  
pws: ‘pws:IBOULOGN39’, //culemborg
hourly: ‘1’,
fctext: ‘1’,
fcdaycount: “5”,
fcdaystart: “0”,
hourlyinterval: “3”,
hourlycount: “2”,
alerttime: 10000,
alerttruncatestring: “french:”'
}
},

As @cowboysdude said, you need to configure the classes option to trigger the scheduler.

As you already have the classes option set up for what looks like @paviro 's MMM-FacialRecognition module I would suggest trying the following config.

{
  module: 'MMM-WunderGround',
  position: 'top_right',
  config: {
    module_schedule: {from: '0 14 * * *', to: '0 18 * * *' },
    apikey: 'ad100f1e35ae51d2', // private; don’t share!
    pws: 'pas:IBOULOGN39', //culemborg
    hourly: '1',
    fctext: '1',
    fcdaycount: '5',
    fcdaystart: '0',
    hourlyinterval: '3',
    hourlycount: '2',
    alerttime: 10000,
    alerttruncatestring: 'french:'
  },
  classes: 'for_all default scheduler'
},

Please do report back if you are successful because I haven’t tested the compatibility of the two modules :)

Opps didn’t realize you were using Facial Recognition… LOL

Thanks @ianperrin !!

@ianperrin @cowboysdude

Thank you both, it works with paviro’s MMM-FacialRecognition module.

Okay I have another curve ball for you… how about … the ability to turn the mirror off and back on with this? :)
