@Fozi the best way is to add disabled: true at each module one by one and restart mm beetwen

@Jalibu Hello, the module is very good but it only shows the time that has already passed and not the time that is yet to come…
can I change that is showing the next 2 hours

@Stoffbeuteluwe nope, the data provider only serves weather history

@Fozi We’ve a MM setup with 10 pages on it (its more a Family panel than a mirror; so useful for us to keep activities, list and routines and important info for a daily basis)

Anyway the modules that matches yours:

default modules:

newsfeed,
alert,
updatenotification --> config disabled: true

Third Party modules:

MMM-AlexaControl,
MMM-Pages & MMM-page-indicator,
MMM-RemoteControl,
MMM-GroveGestures,
MMM-Tools,

Im pretty sure the rpi freezes due to RAIN-MAP animation itself and not because of any module interaction but am not 100% sure.
I’ve updated the module but nothing changes and mirror freezes if I show the RAIN-MAP (got it hidden on start and call it by alexaControl whenever I wanna show it).
If I disabled the module, never freezes (have it on for hours with no problems --> we usually shutdown the rpi when going to bed…If I enabled the module and make it visible on the mirror it freezes at some point (maybe minutes, maybe hours…but it freezes indeed). If I start the mirror (remember default RAIN-MAP not visible) and never show the RAIN-MAP never freezes. If I disable the module (disabled: true) in config cpu usage & temperature on the pi are fine but If I enable it goes up to 40-70% at some stages and temperature goes over 70ºC sometimes…(not good)
I increase value of animationSpeed on module config must say improves rpi performance (I’ve set it @800 and its fine for a longer period and maybe if we’re lucky the pi does not freeze). Could be the zoom in/out feature on module itself…don’t know as its hard to catch a useful log to look at. No error at all on pm2 logs.
Here my newbie contribution; hope we can found something as module looks nice on the Mirror!
I will keep an eye on this topic and, indeed, post it here if find something that helps…
Cheers!

Also must to say that Ive a raspbian virtual machine on my vmware workstation where I do all my tests with module on it and never freezes; actually Ive got the beauties “MMM-ISS-Live” & “MMM-Earth-Live” that my raspi could not handle and works flawlessly on the VM…
BTW its a pi3B (not the B+) --> so maybe time to upgrade to Asus Tinker Board or pi 4 4GB…

@rubenix or pi 4 8GB. :) i have a lot of modules switching with the module mm pages and i have no problem with rain map (power on during 24h/24)

@chassain-0 i have a rasp pi4 4GB

@chassain-0 yeah something more powerful indeed; the most the better.
anyway have no problem at all with any of my pages but when I switch to RAIN-MAP page (by alexa, gesture or automatically on rotation) i see the cpu usage when It shows on the mirror…
hardware upgrade coming soon…

I think about pre-rendering the map animation once as gif image in the backend using phantom instead of live rendering on the frontend. I’ll test that when time allows…
