MMM-DumpsterDay

[mrdenmark]

if i use this config all bins show-

{
	module:"MMM-DumpsterDay",
	position:"top_left",
	config: {
		refreshInterval: 18000000, // Default: 18000000 = 5 hours
		pulse: false, 			   // Default: true - Makes the module pulsating

		enableBasic: true, 				// Enable basic trashcan 
		basicStartDate: "12.11.2019", 	// The first dumpster day (Always use 2 digit dates (01 instead of 1))
		basicDateDiff_2: 7,			// Trashday reoccurance - Default: 14 (every 14 days)
		basicNotifyDayBefore: true,		//Default: true - If you want the notification to appear also the day before the dumpster day
		
		enablePlastic: true,			// Same values as basic but for Plastic
		plasticStartDate: "12.11.2019", 
		plasticDateDiff_2: 14,
		plasticNotifyDayBefore: true,	

		enableLandscape: true,			// Same values as basic but for Landscape
		landscapeStartDate: "12.11.2019",
		landscapeDateDiff_2: 14,		
		landscapeNotifyDayBefore: true,
		}		
		},

if i use this then 2 bins show-

{
	module:"MMM-DumpsterDay",
	position:"top_left",
	config: {
		refreshInterval: 18000000, // Default: 18000000 = 5 hours
		pulse: false, 			   // Default: true - Makes the module pulsating

		enableBasic: true, 				// Enable basic trashcan 
		basicStartDate: "12.11.2019", 	// The first dumpster day (Always use 2 digit dates (01 instead of 1))
		basicDateDiff_2: 7,			// Trashday reoccurance - Default: 14 (every 14 days)
		basicNotifyDayBefore: true,		//Default: true - If you want the notification to appear also the day before the dumpster day
		
		enablePlastic: false,			// Same values as basic but for Plastic
		plasticStartDate: "12.11.2019", 
		plasticDateDiff_2: 14,
		plasticNotifyDayBefore: true,	

		enableLandscape: true,			// Same values as basic but for Landscape
		landscapeStartDate: "12.11.2019",
		landscapeDateDiff_2: 14,		
		landscapeNotifyDayBefore: true,
		}		
		},

but if i change it to either of these then only the basic shows up -

enablePlastic: true,			// Same values as basic but for Plastic
		plasticStartDate: "18.11.2019",

or

enablePlastic: false,			// Same values as basic but for Plastic
		plasticStartDate: "18.11.2019",code_text

maybe i’m misunderstanding but it seems the second last one is the one i require.

for reference my red get picked up every monday and the other 2 alternate every 2 weeks,again on monday

@mrdenmark apologies foe formatting above!

@mrdenmark if you set the date to 18.11.2019 and the occurance is every 14 days then it’s correct :)
If the enable value is true - the image is not visible as it’s not a trashcan day.
If the enable value is false - the part of the module is disabled and is not evaluated at all. Also I recommend to use start dates from the past, not future :)

Since the Red Can graphic was added to the github repository my MagicMirror update-notification module indicates an update is needed to the MMM-DumpsterDay module. This made me think that it would be good to add the update process to the github repository instructions.

I just did a
git fetch and then a
git pull

from within the MagicMirror/modules/MMM-DumpsterDay sub directory and that updated the module.

Re: MMM-DumpsterDay

I am having problems getting the bins to show correctly. I have three different bin collections

Rubbish(basic) collected fortnightly on thursdays next collection due 21st November
Recycling(plastic) collected fortnightly on thursdays next collection due 14th November
Composting(landscape) collected fortnightly on Mondays next collection due 25th November

The icon for the plastic collection is displayed as expected but the landscaping icon is also showing today(14th) even though it is not due until the 25th. Any ideas what the issue is?

This is the config file I am using
{module:“MMM-DumpsterDay”,
position:“lower_third”,

		config: {
			refreshInterval: 18000000, // Default: 18000000 = 5 hours
			pulse: true, 			   // Default: true - Makes the module pulsating
		
		enableBasic: true, 				// Enable basic trashcan 
			basicStartDate: "24.10.2019", 	// The first dumpster day (Always use 2 digit dates (01 instead of 1))
			basicDateDiff_1: 14,			// Trashday reoccurance - Default: 14 (every 14 days)
			basicNotifyDayBefore: true,		//Default: true - If you want the notification to appear also the day before the dumpster day
			
		enablePlastic: true,			// Same values as basic but for Plastic
			plasticStartDate: "31.10.2019", 
			plasticDateDiff_1: 14,
			plasticNotifyDayBefore: true,	

		enableLandscape: true,			// Same values as basic but for Landscape
			landscapeStartDate: "14.10.2019",
			landscapeDateDiff_1: 14,		
			landscapeNotifyDayBefore: true,
		
		}
		},

fixed…

@Doughboy99
I think I have found the issue for me.
in MMM-DumpsterDay.js the if statement

	if (enableLandscape == true){
	landscapeTrashDayResult = this.isPlasticTrashDay();
	Log.info("landscapeTrashDayResult: "+landscapeTrashDayResult);
	var landscapeDiv = document.createElement("div");
	landscapeDiv.className = "landscapeDiv";
	wrapper.appendChild(landscapeDiv);
		if (landscapeTrashDayResult == 0){
		landscapeDiv.classList.add("non_today")
		}

line 83 should read

landscapeTrashDayResult = this.isLandscapeTrashDay();

This seems to fix my issue.

@Doughboy99
Good catch. Seems logical that the statement should pertain to Landscape because of what precedes it.

I made the change to my MMM-DumpsterDay.js . You can report the issue via github and the author @DeanoNoire can add the changes.

Here is the link to report github MMM-DumpsterDay Issues

[Doughboy99]

@BD0G Thanks Ive posted an issue. Your link is to another reposirory for a similar module .
The correct link is here

[BD0G]

@Doughboy99 Corrected the link. Thanks!

[DeanoNoire]

@Doughboy99 Thanks a lot guys, I just corrected it on github.
Have a good one!

[BD0G]

Thanks @DeanoNoire . Any plans to implement the “Tomorrow is Trash Day” and “Today is Trash Day” text?

[DeanoNoire]

@BD0G wasn’t really planning to, but I guess I can add it as an option :) will see how much work is wating for me at job this week :D

[Paddi]

@DeanoNoire Had no luck to make it work. When adding in the config.js and restarting mirror it messes up things. Black background instead of usual picture. Some modules do not load…
Could you help ?

[BD0G]

@Paddi Try Pressing the CTRL-Shift-i keys together once the Magic Mirror has loaded to bring up the developers window. Then click on the tab labeled console and look for any errors. Usually in Red text. When there is a black screen it “typically” indicates one or more of the modules has crashed.

I had this module working great , but for some strange reason it no longer shows the Landscape can. I set the dates to tommorrow which is trash day so the Trash Can and Landscape can should be displayed the day before (which it today) and only the Trash Can is displayed. My date is set correctly on the Magic Mirror so its not that.

Here is my config entry

	{
	module:"MMM-DumpsterDay",
	position:"bottom_bar",
	config: {
		refreshInterval: 18000000, // Default: 18000000 = 5 hours
		pulse: true, 			   // Default: true - Makes the module pulsating

		enableBasic: true, 				// Enable basic trashcan 
		basicStartDate: "27.11.2019", 	// The first dumpster day (Always use 2 digit dates (01 instead of 1))
		basicDateDiff_1: 7,			// Trashday reoccurance - Default: 14 (every 14 days)
		basicNotifyDayBefore: true,		//Default: true - If you want the notification to appear also the day before the dumpster day
		
		enablePlastic: false,			// Same values as basic but for Plastic
		plasticStartDate: "27.11.2019", 
		plasticDateDiff_1: 28,
		plasticNotifyDayBefore: true,	

		enableLandscape: true,			// Same values as basic but for Landscape
		landscapeStartDate: "27.11.2019",
		landscapeDateDiff_1: 14,		
		landscapeNotifyDayBefore: true,
		}		
		},

[DeanoNoire]

@BD0G Can you try updating the latest version of this module from github? :) there was an issue with Landscape part.

[mrdenmark]

has anyone managed to get this module to work correctly?i’ve tried allsorts of config options but it behaves quite strangely.
my collection day is monday,the red gets collected every monday and the blue and yellow get alternate and get collected biweekly.
the module did as it should the first week and never since then,it only shows 1 bin,some weeks it shows a bin to be collected on thursday,dissapears on friday and re-appears on sunday!

                pulse: false,
                maxWidth: "75px",                          // Default: true - Makes the module pulsating

                enableBasic: true,                              // Enable basic trashcan

                }
                },

[DeanoNoire]

Hey guys,
I finally found some time to review and practically remaster whole module. Now it’s finally working correctly and the console logging is improved and more readable.

Please let me know if you still encounter some issues.

Stay safe in these difficult times!
