[MMM-ValuesByNotification] Display the payloads of notifications with titles and icons

@wishmaster270 sorry for bothering you again… :grinning_face_with_sweat:

What if I want no border?

Would I have to edit the module’s CSS or can I just add something to custom.css?

wishmaster270

@Cr4z33
No problem.
Simply add

.vbn .groupWrapper {
  border-style: none;
  padding: 0px;
}

to your custom.css

Ps.: Try to never ever edit any files in the module directory (except mentioned in the documentation) as you will get problems with updates in the future otherwise!

@wishmaster270 exactly what I wanted thanks!

@Cr4z33
If you still want to move the content to the left you can try something like the following in your custom.css:

.vbn .groupWrapper {
  border-style: none;
  padding: 0px;
  margin-left: 20px;
}

.vbn .groupsWrapper, .vbn .groupWrapper, .vbn .itemsWrapper, .vbn .valueWrapper {
  justify-content: left;
  align-items: unset;
}

Hey, Tom - Trying to use this module to decode the json output by my weatherstation - Like https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/17396/json-request-module

What I’m getting from Command to notification module is:

WEATHERLINK {"data":{"did":"001D0A71573B","ts":1675287003,"conditions":[{"lsid":434637,"data_structure_type":1,"txid":1,"temp": 47.4,"hum":52.8,"dew_point": 31.0,"wet_bulb": 38.4,"heat_index": 46.4,"wind_chill": 47.4,"thw_index": 46.4,"thsw_index":null,"wind_speed_last":2.00,"wind_dir_last":31,"wind_speed_avg_last_1_min":2.62,"wind_dir_scalar_avg_last_1_min":6,"wind_speed_avg_last_2_min":2.81,"wind_dir_scalar_avg_last_2_min":358,"wind_speed_hi_last_2_min":5.00,"wind_dir_at_hi_speed_last_2_min":340,"wind_speed_avg_last_10_min":1.43,"wind_dir_scalar_avg_last_10_min":36,"wind_speed_hi_last_10_min":5.00,"wind_dir_at_hi_speed_last_10_min":336,"rain_size":1,"rain_rate_last":0,"rain_rate_hi":0,"rainfall_last_15_min":0,"rain_rate_hi_last_15_min":0,"rainfall_last_60_min":0,"rainfall_last_24_hr":0,"rain_storm":0,"rain_storm_start_at":null,"solar_rad":null,"uv_index":null,"rx_state":0,"trans_battery_flag":0,"rainfall_daily":0,"rainfall_monthly":0,"rainfall_year":1750,"rain_storm_last":4,"rain_storm_last_start_at":1674798601,"rain_storm_last_end_at":1675000860},{"lsid":434634,"data_structure_type":4,"temp_in": 79.4,"hum_in":20.5,"dew_point_in": 35.5,"heat_index_in": 77.4},{"lsid":434633,"data_structure_type":3,"bar_sea_level":30.125,"bar_trend":-0.013,"bar_absolute":29.660}]},"error":null}

yes, the weather station dumps a mess. :)

my current config for the values by notification is just the basics, but should be grabbing the “hum” value for testing:

		{
			module: "MMM-ValuesByNotification",
			position: "top_left",
			header: "Module-1",
			config: {
				groups: [
					{
						items: [
							{
								notification: "WEATHERLINK",
								itemTitle: "Item-1",
								values: [
									{
										valueTitle: "Value-1",
										jsonpath: "hum",
									},
								]
							},
						]
					},
				]
			},
		},

I get initally “NA” as a value, then it flips to “Undefined”

Any clue on what I’m doing wrong, or is the feed from the weather station needing more of a massage to be useful?

thanks!

@BKeyport Hi,
i formatted your output to understand the JSON structure you are using:

{
    "data": {
        "did": "001D0A71573B",
        "ts": 1675287003,

                "rain_storm_last_start_at": 1674798601,
                "rain_storm_last_end_at": 1675000860
            },
            {
                "lsid": 434634,
                "data_structure_type": 4,
                "temp_in": 79.4,
                "hum_in": 20.5,
                "dew_point_in": 35.5,
                "heat_index_in": 77.4
            },
            {
                "lsid": 434633,
                "data_structure_type": 3,
                "bar_sea_level": 30.125,
                "bar_trend": -0.013,
                "bar_absolute": 29.660
            }
        ]
    },
    "error": null
}

The hum value is part of the first element with index 0 of the conditions object which is part of the data object.
This results in a more advanced jsonpath…

		{
			module: "MMM-ValuesByNotification",
			position: "top_left",
			header: "Module-1",
			config: {
				groups: [
					{
						items: [
							{
								notification: "WEATHERLINK",
								itemTitle: "Item-1",
								values: [
									{
										valueTitle: "Value-1",
										jsonpath: "data.conditions[0].hum",
									},
								]
							},
						]
					},
				]
			},
		},

This config works out of the box ;-)

Edit:

If the order of the elements of conditions varies you can use

jsonpath: "data.conditions..hum"

This one selects the hum value of any element of conditions.

@wishmaster270 Brilliant. Thank you. JSON is still quite the mystery to me sometimes. :)

One last thing - where in the CSS do I adjust the font size for the module? I want it to use the MM “Large” font, as it’s on a wall display across from my desk. Can’t seem to find it.

wishmaster270

@BKeyport
Hi, great that it works now.
There are two different ways of how to change the font-size.
Either by using the classes option and add large to the element you want the font-size to be changed. i.e.:

{
			module: "MMM-ValuesByNotification",
			position: "top_left",
			header: "Module-1",
			config: {
				groups: [
					{
						items: [
							{
								notification: "WEATHERLINK",
								itemTitle: "Item-1",
								values: [
									{
										classes: "large",
										valueTitle: "Value-1",
										jsonpath: "data.conditions..hum",
									},
								]
							},
						]
					},
				]
			},
		},

The main problem with this solution is that the font-size of the valueTitle and the value itself is changed.

Or you can use custom.css to do the job:

.MMM-ValuesByNotification .vbn .groupTitle,
.MMM-ValuesByNotification .vbn .itemTitle,
.MMM-ValuesByNotification .vbn .value,
.MMM-ValuesByNotification .vbn .valueTitle {
  font-size: var(--font-size-large);
  line-height: 1;
}

In this example the font-size of all titles and the value is changed. I use the font-size-large CSS variable of the main.css for this job.

Thanks again, man. :)

I might not have to work up my own module to get the notifications. 🤣
