MMM-DumpsterDay

[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 ?

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.

Cool… I will look into it as soon as I dont have that much work :)

Hi all, I’m having trouble getting the exact icon of the garbage collection to display with the chosen day. Example, today there is no collection but it shows me 3 icons that should not display. Also, from us the collection of organic materials occurs 3 times a week how could I put more dates for the same collection? I attach links for my icons and the code of both MMM-Dumpster and config.js

img garbage

Glass, Paper, Organic, Plastic and Other Garbage

config.js file MM

MMM-Dumpster file

Thank you

@blackeaglece does anyone know how to fix date display error in images?

[DeanoNoire]

@blackeaglece I’m quite certain you have to create functions and instances for every landscape reccuring date. Act like second and third landscape instances are different kind of trash with the same image.

Hi, but it doesn’t display me landscape but glass or organic. I created a new instance called landscape1 but it still shows me all the images . This is the code of config.js. How can I do?

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

	enableBasic: true, 				// Abilita indifferenziata trashcan 
		basicStartDate: "09.04.2021", 		// 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
	enablePaper: true,			// Abilita bidoncino carta bianco
		paperStartDate: "06.04.2021",
		paperDateDiff_1: 7,
		paperNotifyDayBefore: true,
	enablePlastic: true,			// Same values as basic but for Plastic
		plasticStartDate: "13.04.2021", 
		plasticDateDiff_1: 7,
		plasticNotifyDayBefore: true,
	enableVetro: true,			// Same values as basic but for Plastic
		vetroStartDate: "08.04.2021", 
		vetroDateDiff_1: 7,
		vetroNotifyDayBefore: true,
	enableLandscape: true,			// Abilita bidoncino umido
		landscapeStartDate: "04.04.2021",
		landscapeDateDiff_1: 7,		
		landscapeNotifyDayBefore: true,
	enableLandscape1: true,			// Abilita bidoncino umido
		landscape1StartDate: "06.04.2021",
		landscape1DateDiff_1: 7,		
		landscape1NotifyDayBefore: true,
}
},

and this is how it is displayed

@blackeaglece I see. What is in the log? There should be evaluations if its trashday or not.
Also can you inspect the elements if .non_today class is present on the divs? If yes, check if the css file is loaded properly, as it should be hiding the images when it’s not dumpster day.

Thank you :ok_hand:

[blackeaglece]

@deanonoire How do I create instances and functions? Also, to make them work, do I have to create different images even if they serve the same thing? e.g. landscape.png landscape-1.png and landscape-2.png, with relative css code?
thank you very much

Hi Deanonoire,

is it possible to show the can only the day before collecting? In Germany we put our trash cans outside the day before. So the notification on the collection day is not nessesary?

Greetings

[DeanoNoire]

@dinschal Hey there, it’s not possible to set it via config right now, but it’s quite easy to modify it in the MMM-DumpsterDay.js file:

Find folloing code (about row 167)

// Trashday today
if (difference%datediff_1 == 0) {
result = 1
Log.info(“It’s trashday !!”);
}

and change the value of result to 0.
So it’s:

// Trashday today
if (difference%datediff_1 == 0) {
result = 0
Log.info(“It’s trashday !!”);
}

Please let me know if this solution worked as desired.
Have a good one; Greetings from Czechia.

I have been working on scaling the use of this great module. I thought about what other reoccurring things that I might need notification of. It came to mind that my front loading Washing Machine indicates that I need to clean the pump screen every 30 days! I also like to do a “tub clean” at about the same interval.
The washer has a setting that is named “tub clean” where one adds a bit of bleach or other detergent made for cleaning the inside of the stainless tub to make sure that there is not any bacteria and gunk that builds up.

In that vein I created a custom icon that can be used for notification. I wanted to share it with the community in case anyone else wanted to be notified as well.

Since I dont use the Recycle Can I just substituted this icon for the Recycle Can and set the reoccurring notification to be every 30 days!! Click the link and then Right Click - Save Image As
