When weather updates module unhides...

[Snille]

@Ralf Ok, this was (infact still is) my case:

1. I have setup “profiles” showing different modules using MMM-ProfileSwitcher (triggerd by either MMM-Facial-Recognition, MMM-TouchNavigation or MMM-ModuleScheduler).
2. When a “profile” is activated only the modules in that profile is suppose to be shown.

For the moment the default “currentweather” and “weatherforecast” is set to show in only one of my defined profiles. However, when a profile that do not have (any one of) those modules is activated, the weather modules are hidden until they “update”, then they show them self even if the profile currently selected should not show them.

Then I started to “lock” modules with the ProfileSwitcher and that solved the “popup-on-update-problem”, but that resulted in modules not showing up when triggered by ModulesScheduler instead. So I disabled locking again.

Update: Forgot that I also have disabled the “schedule” for switching profiles. The reason being that if I have specified a profile to be shown at a specific time frame, I can not use the TouchNavigation to switch to another profile at any time because all the modules are locked by the Scheduler…

So, for the moment, I still have the problem. However it’s only those two modules behaving this way so far. :)

HI all again,
Am I the only one having this problem? The two default modules “currentweather” and “weatherforecast” does not respect the “hidden” (of not locked) attribute when they update.

Anyone else? :)

@Snille I have the same issue but am yet to find the solution. The modules appear at start up, but do respect the hidden state after the first user has logged out.

Did you identify the fix for this?

@Antflips Hi, nope unfortunately not. It is still “misbehaving”. You can use the “lock” mechanism in “Profile Switcher” if you want, but it’s then locking all hidden modules. Then it works, but then you can not un-hide with any hidden modules with other module. And that’s what I wanted to be able to do.

@Snille I’m using the MMM-Echo module for my face recognition and to show and hide modules depending on the person. If you ignore the fact that the Weather and Forecast modules don’t hide until the first person has “logged out”, it works great.
