mmm-suncalc - Text only display of sunrise, sunset and other sun events

[jag]

This module is displaying various times for sun rise, set when it’s at the highest point.
The displayed message is configurable.

Calculations are done using SunCalc
The module can be downloaded from github

Please give it at try, and give me some feedback.

Please add some screenshots! :)

No so much screenshots.
This is a text only module.
Using a template, like “Sunrise at , sunset at , highest point at ”
Will be displayed as “Sunrise at 09:15, sunset at 15:34, highest point at 12:25”.

Time format is the same as is globally.

I see :D It still would be nice to see it in context with a clock for example :)

Hi!
Thank you for this module! :)
I can’t get it to change the “text”.
My config looks like this:

	{
		module: "mmm-suncalc",
		position: "top_left",
		classes: "default everyone small dimmed",
		latitude: 56.1171367,
		longitude: 12.9543434,
		text: "Soluppgång sunrise, Solnedgång sunset, Solen högst solarNoon, Gryning dusk, Skymmning dawn"
	},

But the actual screen looks like this:

What am I missing…?

PS: The example conf on your git repo has one m to too much in the module name and when you “clone” it it’s all in non capitals “mmm-suncalc” (most modules have MMM-Modname). :)

Obs: had to remove the " > " "< " for the conf to show correct here…

Thank you.

{
module: "mmm-suncalc",
position: "top_left",
classes: "default everyone small dimmed",
config: {
	latitude: 56.1171367,
	longitude: 12.9543434,
	text: "Soluppgång sunrise, Solnedgång sunset, Solen högst solarNoon, Gryning dusk, Skymmning dawn"
	},
},

Should work with these settings.

@yawns Working! :) Thank you!

Thx for downloading and very useful feedback :).
Uploaded new version.
Added support for css classes.
Font size defaults to small.

Just found this old module and added it to my mirror. With some unicode and html the result is pretty nice, so I thought I’d share it:

Ok, in Swedish, but it basically says “The sun… rises: / sets:”. I used dawn-sunrise and sunset-dusk for the time intervals. This gives approximately the time from when it’s almost dark to full day and vice versa.

Config:

		{
			module: 'mmm-suncalc',
			position: 'top_left',
			header: 'Solen',
			config: {
				latitude: xx.xxxx,
				longitude: xx.xxxx,
				text: '<table>' +
								'<tr><td>& #9728;</td><td>Går upp:</td><td style="text-align: right">[dawn] - [sunrise]</td></tr>' +
								'<tr><td>& #9790;</td><td>Går ner:</td><td style="text-align: right">[sunset] - [dusk]</td></tr>' +
							 '</table>'
			}
		},

Note that you need to remove the space between & and # in the config above. It was impossible to write the code in the forum otherwise. Also you need to change [ … ] to < … > for dawn, sunset etc.

Hey, total newbie to everything coding- and mirror-related here. I tried to get suncalc to work while also trying @retroflex 's suggested layout, but whatever I do, nothing ever show’s up on my MM screen. The module just doesn’t do anything. Do I need to also clone the original suncalc repository? Where to, if so?

So far, what I got is this:

{
			module: 'mmm-suncalc',
			position: "lower_third",
			//classes: "default everyone small dimmed",
			header: "Sonne",
			config: {
				latitude: 51.03586,
				longitude: 7.06379,
				text: "Aufgang: <dawn> - <sunrise>. Untergang: <sunset> - <dusk>"
				//'<table>' + 
				//'<tr><td>&#9728;</td><td>Går upp:</td><td><dawn> - <sunrise></td></tr>' +
				//'<tr><td>&#9790;</td><td>Går ner:</td><td><sunset> - <dusk></td></tr>' +
				//'</table>'
				},
		},

Does that look alright?

@dankerthrone the module is on github

https://github.com/janbanan007/mmm-suncalc

the readme shows a simple start

[dankerthrone]

Thanks. I think in general people know to cd to the module folder to be installed and then run

npm install

but I didn’t get that from the readme, thus ran the install command from the ~/MagicMirror folder and as a result never installed anything. No wonder the thing doesn’t run :D

It does now, though, so thanks again!

Hello,

can sunrise and sunset be colored, if so, can you please tell me the line (command) for css?

[retroflex]

@Lordy There are no css names to distinguish sunrise and sunset. But you can add html directly to the config instead. See my previous answer to this thread for an example. So something like:

text: 'Sunrise < span style="color: #ffff00" >< sunrise >< /span >

Remove the extra spaces next to the brackets. Had to include them or otherwise the forum would show nothing.

[Lordy]

@retroflex
Where exactly? Here my config:

text: ‘

’+‘’+‘’+‘

☀	Sonnenaufgang:	-
☾	Sonnenuntergang:	-

’

[Lordy]

[retroflex]

@Lordy Aha. Then change one of the < td > to < td style=“color: #ffff00” >

[Lordy]

@retroflex
Thank U,that’s it. :thumbs_up_light_skin_tone:

[Lordy]

[retroflex]

@Lordy Great that it worked out! I like the idea, I’ll colorize mine too now.
