Hello eveyone.
I’m building my first mirror and while I’m not a programmer I was able to get my mirror looking how I wanted thanks to some great modules.

I’m trying now to create a rule that will decrease birghtness after a certain hour. I installed MMM-ModuleScheduler but can’t get it to work correctly.

I’ve tried 2 different approaches. First I tried using the dimmer option, like shown below:

{ module: 'MMM-ModuleScheduler', config: { // SHOW ALL MODULES AT 06:00 AND DIM THEM TO 40% AT 22:00 global_schedule: {from: '0 6 * * *', to: '0 22 * * *', dimLevel: '40' }, }

This did indeed dim the screen but no in the required times. I’ve tried, for example putting interval from 18:30 to 18:35, dim 10%. After this code the screen dimmed. I then waited for 18:30 and then 18:35 to see if screen would light up but it didn’t.

I’m now trying to create a setting to change brightness (and if that work I’ll create another one) by using the following:

{ module: 'MMM-ModuleScheduler', position: 'bottom_right', header: '', config: { notification_schedule: [ { notification: 'REMOTE_ACTION', schedule: '50 22 * * *', payload: { action: 'BRIGHTNESS', value: '100' } } ] } },

But that didn’t work as well. I’ve tried setting a specific time to decrease darkness and nothing happened. I then decreased darkness and created a setting to increase it but no success.

I’ve seen in some posts people mentioning to get logs but I could not get log specifically for this module. My MMM-Remote-Control is working flawlessly.

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

@snille - you’re spot on. MMM-ModuleScheduler uses the cron module. The ranges for cron values can be found in the npm module documentation.

I’ve added an issue in the GitHub repository to update the documentation for the module.
