MMM-doomsDay - The countdown module,

Mykle1

It seems I’m still having some problems with this. It worked on the last test, and displayed the present: string correctly, but now it’s not working again. Below is my config with the doomsDay set for tomorrow and a screenshot of the display still reporting 2 Days Left

    			module: 'MMM-doomsDay',
    			position: 'top_right', // This can be any of the regions, best results in center regions
    			config: {
        			doomsDay: "2017-03-01 24:00:00", // the end day of the countdown
        			toWhat: 'Doctor Dave Wed', // the title of your countdown event
				present: 'Doctor Dave 11:30',
				singular: 'Day Left', // what it should say when it's only one day left, default is `Day Left`
				plural: 'Days Left', // what it should say when it's more days left, default is `Days Left`
				}
		},

Somewhere between now and when I posted my previous comment, the module updated to 1 Day left.

@Mykle1 I think a higher updateInterval may be in order. the 5 Hours set now maybe is a bit to much,

in the config you can add

updateInterval: 1 * 3600000,

To set it to update every hour instead!

My pleasure. Woke up to the module displaying the correct present: entry. Nice!

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but as of this morning, the module is still not performing correctly. Yesterday, I set a simple test for tomorrow. It correctly reported 2 Days Left. This morning (7:09am) it still reports 2 Days Left. I’ve made only the changes that you have advised.

sorry. no screenshot. I’m not at my normal computer

Just glanced at the mirror and doomsDay is now reporting 1 more day. I don’t know at what time that occurred.

@Mykle1

Reporting the correct present: message this morning. I’ll now set a week long countdown and see how that goes. I’ll try not to bother you anymore
