      @mmrize said in Need Help Changing Background Image Based on Time:

      job: function () {
      clearTimeout(this.timer)
      this.updateDom()
      this.setImageURL()

      still backwards.
      update url,
      then call updatedDom,
      which calls getDom
      which uses the url

        Thank you both so much! That did work by the way! It worked once I moved the dom AND I was missing Module: (name), which is just dumb on my part. I appreciate the help and for solving my issue with this!!!

        Question, do you guys have a favorite beginners place for Magic Mirror? I feel I am missing some fundamentals and would love to take a recommendation.

            First url was set in start(), so I put that next of update in recursive.

              Time based background is a great idea. Are you planning on releasing this as a module?

                @mmrize ok. my experience and training on maintaining software teaches me never to do this. you have two places where state is set.

                  @sdetweil you are right. It was just an example. :)

                      Just for reference, there is a similar module already. You’d better get a hint from it.
                      https://github.com/BrianHepler/MMM-WeatherBackground
                      It derive the background image from unsplash collections by weather and season condition(and ideally, everything if it can be translated and notified from any modules.)
