MMM-DumpsterDay

[BD0G]

Cant Wait! With these changes I can then simply walk by my Magic Mirror on trash day and if I see one White Icon then its Trash “only” day. Or if I see a white Trash Icon and a Green Icon I will know I can put both Trash and Landscape out on the street. Saves me from having to consult a schedule that the trash provider sends us.
Maybe another option in code to change to constant or pulsing icons???

@BD0G So I’ve made some changes:
Now there are 3 possible cans, user can disable each one in config or change the image via css.
Pulsing is now switchable and I also changed the startDate input format.

Check it out ;)

EDIT: I also added a blue version of the recylcing can as you mentioned (In Czech Republic it’s yellow)

[mrdenmark]

could you post a working config for this? i’m having no luck writing it into mine

@DeanoNoire

You are awesome! .
We will need a working config file with all the parameters listed so that it is apparent what settings control what features.

You can comment out the features using // backslashes as you know and add what they do to the right of the line or above it using // backslashes

Example :
//Line below this one controls the day that one sets to count from
//Line below this one controls pulsing or constant

etc…

Also is there the need to clone a module into the modules directory below MagicMirror/modules?

Specific instructions would be helpful to add to the git hub repository as there are alot of places where people can get hung up.

Questions that I have are where does one place the trashcan.css file? Where does one place the trashcan.js file?
Does one clone a directory into the MagicMirror/modules directory?
What does one add to the config.js file within MagicMirror/config?

Also you mis-spelled Dumpster again within the Noted files on the git hub repository.

Thanks for the quick work!

Let me know if you need assistance with writing the instructions and I can lend a hand if needed.

@DeanoNoire a blue can would be Perfect Thanks :folded_hands_medium-light_skin_tone:

[BD0G]

@Stoffbeuteluwe Its included within the trashcan.css file , but waiting on configuration options and how to setup.

[Stoffbeuteluwe]

@BD0G ok Thanks

@BD0G Hi there,
I added the install instructions and example of config with descriptions to the readme file.
I’ll copy it here also:

{
	module:"trashcan",
	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: "16.01.2019", 
		plasticDateDiff_1: 28,
		plasticNotifyDayBefore: true,	

		enableLandscape: false,			// Same values as basic but for Landscape
		landscapeStartDate: "29.10.2019",
		landscapeDateDiff_1: 28,		
		landscapeNotifyDayBefore: true,
	}

I hope it’s clear now :)

Also note the module should not appear today, as it’s not a dumpster day :) Try changing the Start date in the config to make it appear it’s dumpster day today to test it. I may also implement a AlwaysOn config key for testing purposes. Maybe during the week :)

If anything is unclear or can be improved, please let me know :)

Many of the other modules that are published use the following syntax to copy the files needed to the MagicMirror/modules directory.

git clone https://github.com/DeanoNoire/MMM-DumpsterDay.git

So perhaps it would be advantageous to add the following as the first step.

1. Navigate to the MagicMirror/modules sub-directory
2. Run the following command “git clone https://github.com/DeanoNoire/MMM-DumpsterDay.git” (this will copy the needed files into the sub-directory)

Also the code for the config.js appears to be missing
