MMM-DumpsterDay

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!

{
        module:"MMM-DumpsterDay",
        position:"upper_third",
        config: {
                refreshInterval: 18000000, // Default: 18000000 = 5 hours
                pulse: false,
                maxWidth: "75px",                          // Default: true - Makes the module pulsating

                enableBasic: true,                              // Enable basic trashcan
                basicStartDate: "11.11.2019",   // 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 t$
                enablePlastic: false,                   // Same values as basic but for Plastic
                plasticStartDate: "04.11.2019",
                plasticDateDiff_1: 14,
                plasticNotifyDayBefore: true,

                enableLandscape: true,                  // Same values as basic but for Landscape
                landscapeStartDate: "11.11.2019",
                landscapeDateDiff_1: 14,
                landscapeNotifyDayBefore: true,
                }
                },

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!

@DeanoNoire The download link isn’t in the original post anymore?

@robertybob originaly there was a github card for the repository, but it seems the card is not supported anymore.
And as I’m not able to edit the original post, here is the link:

Hello how can i reduce the space between the header and the image? as you can see from the screenshot Thank you very much

DeanoNoire

Hello @blackeaglece ,
I do not use the headers, but I presume it’s always on the top of the module wrapper.
So first thing I’d try is decreasing the height value of trashcan_wrapper.
This is done in MMM-DumpsterDay.css file in the module folder.

Please let me know if you managed moving it by these steps.

Hi, is there any way to add a option for a 4th icon ? We have 3 different types of recycling (glass, cardboard and plastic), as well as the usual rubbish/trash, and of course, they all come at different times ! :)

DeanoNoire

Hey @Bob ,
sure thing. Any tips for cardboard and glass bin image and color?
This brings me to an idea of making the colors and images parameterizable.

@DeanoNoire Our colours are blue (glass), grey (cardboard), green (plastic) and black (trash/rubbish), but I suspect if you compare local areas, they’ll all have different colour schemes. I’ve even seen places where the bins were all the same, they just had different logos on them for the relevant product.

As you say, either paramatize them, or even just reference the icons by name/type, and let people change the image behind them to their colour of choice ?

Bob

Just when I thought there were a standard set of colours, I find this…

Looks like the most sensible thing is to simply ensure the recycling symbol is on the icon, and then give people the option of different colours.
