        Thank you and no worries.

        Unfortunately, I’ve just done a quick test with the expressions I posted above and they didn’t work. :(

        If you check the cron expressions i suggested using crontab.guru, it would appear they are non-standard. Therefore, I suspect they are not supported by the node cron module.

        Not to worry, there’s always a solution! crontab.org states that step values can be used in conjunction with ranges. So the expressions I believe you require are as follows:

        module_schedule: {from: '0-59/10 * * * *',  to: '5-59/10 * * * *'},

            Wow - someone is keen ;)

            The first iteration of #4 has been committed. Global schedules can now be added to show/hide/dim all modules - see the updated documentation for more info.

            On the to list is to

            • add support for showing/hiding/dimming modules in groups
            • add the ability to exclude specific modules from the global schedules

            #6 comes afterwards when I can switch my dev environment to the develop branch

              • one schedule can now be used to hide/show/dim all modules - see global scheduling
              • one schedule can now be create to hide/show/dim a group of modules - see group schedules

              To do:

              • add the ability to exclude specific modules from the global/group schedules
              • unit and regression tests ;)

                Nice work! LockStrings are not yet implemented, right? Until then I can’t use the module.

                  I’m using it like this… but it’s not working for some reason:

                  {
                  module: ‘MMM-ModuleScheduler’,
                  config: {
                  global_schedule: [
                  // SHOW MODULES WITH THE CLASS ‘daytime_scheduler’ AT 06:00 AND HIDE AT 22:00 EVERY DAY
                  {from: ‘50 6 * * *’, to: ‘0 9 * * *’, groupClass: ‘scheduler_mfm’},
                  {from: ‘50 6 * * *’, to: ‘0 23 * * *’, groupClass: ‘scheduler_mfd’},
                  {from: ‘0 6 * * *’, to: ‘0 23 * * *’, groupClass: ‘scheduler_sat’},
                  {from: ‘0 6 * * *’, to: ‘0 23 * * *’, groupClass: ‘scheduler_sun’},
                  {from: ‘0 6 * * *’, to: ‘0 23 * * *’, groupClass: ‘scheduler_nflg’},
                  {from: ‘0 6 * * *’, to: ‘0 23 * * *’, groupClass: ‘scheduler_nflng’}
                  ]
                  }
                  },

                  Then for example a module:

                           {
                  		module: 'compliments',
                  		position: 'lower_third',      
                                      classes: 'scheduler_mfm'
                  	},
                  

                  I did update the module with ‘git pull’ so that’s okay but it’s not rendering correctly and shutting the module ‘off’

                  Did I miss something simple again? :)

                    @cowboysdude - During my testing of the global scheduling feature, I identified an issue which meant the initial state of the modules may not have been correct. I’ve committed a potential fix for this which may fix your issue too so please feel free to git pull again and test.

                    If it doesn’t work, can you let me know what is output in the logs pm2 logs mm - you should see something like the following for each of your global schedules

                    MMM-ModuleScheduler is creating a global schedule for scheduler_mfm modules using '50 6 * * *' and '0 9 * * *' with dim level undefined
                    MMM-ModuleScheduler is hiding scheduler_mfm modules
                    MMM-ModuleScheduler has created the global schedule for scheduler_mfm modules
                    MMM-ModuleScheduler will next show scheduler_mfm modules at Tue Nov 01 2016 06:50:00 GMT+0000 (UTC)
                    MMM-ModuleScheduler will next hide scheduler_mfm modules at Tue Nov 01 2016 09:00:00 GMT+0000 (UTC)
                    

                    The second line in the above log example will only appear if the schedule means that the modules affected it should be initially hidden
