MMM-CountUP (COVID19 example)

bibaldo

Description
MMM-CountUP allows you to have a progressive count from a specific date.
It’s easy to use. You only have to put a date and a time (start point).

The repo is https://github.com/bibaldo/MMM-CountUP and feel free to open any Issue (suggestions and ideas are more than welcome)

The example I used was related to COVID19 and the time/date was when our government (Argentina) began the mandatory quarantine

Hi -I cannot get this feature to show on my Magic Mirror. I am not sure that there is sufficient room on my fairly small screen. Could this be the issue? I have tried positioning at top left before the date and also bottom mid position without anything showing. I have checked code and no faults returned. Also the update showed on the MM from which I assume it must be working but not sure where. Any help would be appreciated.

@Bromley47 - As an experiment, put the module in position “fullscreen_below” and see if it appears. If it does not, it’s not a sizing issue.

@Bromley47 what is your position: setting… if its wrong, MM won’t show the data

@Bromley47 @bibaldo Same problem here. My config:

                {
                        disabled: false,
                        module: "MMM-CountUp",
                        position: "bottom_left",
                        config: {
                                header: "Days Working From Home",
                                date: '2020-03-17',
                                time: '00:00:00',
                        },
                 },

@sonicgoose My apologies for multiple postings - just didn’t know which category would be best!
I have got the module to show on the Mirror (thanks to TimerWolf) I positioned in the top bar and it shows OK, but although I set the date to 2020-03-16 it seems not to count from that date (33 days?) and shows 2 days on the Mirror. Also would like to just count days and maybe hours, not interested in minutes or seconds!!

yah pick one… I’ll delete the other two

you could ask one of us moderators to move it if you don’t get the kind of response you think you need…
(there are no commitments that anyone will reply on this forum)

@Bromley47 How did you get it to show up? I don’t see a solution here and the other posts appear to now be gone.

sdetweil

@sonicgoose neither of those two topics had any technical content

he said here

I don’t know who that is

@sonicgoose If you go to github and search for the MMM-CountUP module there you will see my config file and some helpful suggestions. Although still cannot solve start time (33 days ago) and remove mins and secs. Need someone more expert than me…!
