A problem about MMM-BMW-DS

number to the right of : should not have quotes… turns them into strings

In this case, they ARE stings. The OP’s config example is rife with syntax errors. So, I corrected it, tested it, confirmed its validity and posted it, minus the API key. :thumbsup:

@Mykle1 hmmmmm, need to learn, never correct a module author!

Please follow sdetweil’s suggestion to look for errors. Again, if you copy and paste the following config entry directly into your config it should avoid the syntax errors. Enter your API key EXACTLY. This is very important.

{
      disabled: false,
      module: "MMM-BMW-DS",
      position: "bottom_bar", // bottom_bar is best
      config: {
        apiKey: "YOUR API KEY GOES HERE", // Free API key @ darksky.net
        tempUnits: "F", // MUST BE CAPITAL LETTER C or F
        lat: '31.318889',
        lng: '121.395',
        css: "1", // 1=default, 2=Clean, 3=Lord of the Rings, 4=handwriting, 5=Julee, 6=Englebert, "" = returns default css
        ownTitle: "Current Conditions", // Use your own language and statement
        playSounds: "yes", // yes = weather sounds, no = no weather sounds
        useHeader: false,
        header: "Your header",
        maxWidth: "100%",
        }
      },

Feel free to correct me any time you like. :-)

I’ve learned much by being corrected. :thumbsup:

Your modules are excellent :)

Off topic but does Hello-Lucy still work? I’ve installed it but always starts off with blank screen - even when I put hide all - false. Mic works but no response. I start with saying hello lucy and then Show - your key words like HOROSCOPE. Any help would be GREATLY Appreciated!

Thank you for your kind words. :thumbsup:

Yes, in fact I’ve just finished a substantial upgrade. You’ve installed recently?

Please paste your config entry in a code block ( </> in menu) so I can take a look at it.

Ok, the config is fine. I just tested it.

When you say Hello Lucy, the microphone icon does not start pulsing?
Have you installed and enabled the modules that are named in the config?

@Mykle1

Hi, Yes, modules are set to disabled: false

Also, I don’t see any microphone icon and even with starthideall at false - still blank on boot up screen?

i can hear my microphone through my speaker when I talk so mic seems to be working

unless, I’m not suppose to hear my voice on speaker?

@TheGeekfather

startHideAll: false, if true, all modules start as hidden
First, you need to comment out after the comma if you are using this line. The entire line is commented out in your example. If you uncomment that line then the module will error.

I don’t see any microphone icon and even with starthideall at false - still blank on boot up screen?

Then the module is not loading. You should see the microphone icon along with, Say, ‘Hello Lucy’ on screen.

That seems odd. Mine does not do that. I don’t know if that’s a problem

Start your mirror using npm start dev and then click the console tab in the window that opens. Scroll to find any errors in red and report
