      Okay. But in the end I can’t get it to work. Don’t know whats wrong …

      Does this has to do with that:

        Yeah, stopped is not good.
        I will need to get it working myself before I can give more useful information on what to check.
        Will keep you posted.

          Remove the old module from the config:

          $ vi ~/MagicMirror/config/config.js
          
          Remove the "MMM-Hoymiles-Wifi" config, or set:
          
              module: "MMM-Hoymiles-Wifi"
              disabled: true,
          
          Delete HoymilesWifi from pm2:
          
          $ pm2 stop HoymilesWifi
          $ pm2 delete HoymilesWifi
          $ pm2 save
          
          If desired, completely remove the old module:
          
          $ cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/
          $ rm -rf MMM-Hoymiles-Wifi
          

          Install MMM-HoymilesPVMonitor:

          $ cd ~/MagicMirror/modules
          
          $ git clone https://github.com/CuddlyCow/MMM-HoymilesPVMonitor.git

            Great job! It could work for me. Unfortunately it’s dark outside but I can see the gauge on my mirror.

            I don’t even dare to ask, but do you have a hint how about resizing it? I tried it with width and height but it won’t work.

             {
                module: "MMM-HoymilesPVMonitor",
                disabled: false,
                header: "PV Monitor",
                position: "top_left",
                width: "100px",
                height: "105px",
                config: {
                  dtuIp: "192.168.178.150",        // IP address of your Hoymiles DTU
                  maxPower: 800,                  // Maximum system power in watts
                  updateInterval: 5 * 60 * 1000   // Update interval in milliseconds (default: 5 minutes)
                }
              },
            
            

            Many thanks and kind regards

              @Jose1701 said in MMM-Hoymiles-Wifi:

              width: "100px",
              height: "105px",
              

              those are outside the config:{} section, that means they are for the MM runtime…
              but we don’t process width/height

              if you want to do this you need to learn to use css(cascading style sheet) to customize the html presentation
              ALL updated css goes in css/custom.css

              a css entry in custom.css is

              selector_clause {
                 styles to apply to elements selected by the selector clause
              }
              

              we add the modulename as a class to the web content so that one can ‘select’ only for that module

              key selector clause elements
              starts with . means element has classname=xxx
              starts with # means element has id=xxxx
              does not start with either, means html element name, div, span, p, h1, img…

                  @Jose1701 I understand , the browser provides a developer environment with different capabilities

                  logger
                  code execution
                  and elements viewer, css tester env

                  see the second link in my signature below for a starter course on the elements tab.

                    No, sorry, no idea.
                    What Sam says, but that needs knowledge.
                    But I opened an issue/request, so let’s see if it will be granted:

                        @Jose1701 also. Sometimes the author documents it on the readme, sometimes the author provides their own css you can override w custom.css entries

                        Sometimes it’s all grunt work….

                          I spent a bit of time an got the following to work by using help of a friend.
                          I wrote the following in the css:

                          
                          /* custom.css */
                          
                          /* Passt die Gesamtbreite des gesamten Moduls an */
                          .MMM-HoymilesPVMonitor {
                              /* Beispiel: Setzt die maximale Breite des gesamten Moduls auf 200 Pixel */
                              max-width: 200px; 
                              /* Stellt sicher, dass das Modul zentriert bleibt, falls es kleiner als die Spalte ist */
                              margin-left: auto;
                              margin-right: auto;
                          }
                          
                          /* 
                            Passt den inneren Container an, der das Canvas-Diagramm enthält.
                            Dies überschreibt die 95% Breite, die im JS definiert wurde.
                          */
                          .MMM-HoymilesPVMonitor div:first-child {
                              /* 
                                Setzt die Breite des Containers auf 100% der oben definierten max-width (z.B. 200px).
                                Sie können hier auch absolute Werte (z.B. 180px) verwenden, 
                                aber 100% ist am flexibelsten.
                              */
