Office Display

[Kayos]

This is an early development version of what will be my office display, used as a screensaver when the display isn’t in use
the actual display is a 4k 65" smart display, it is in storage until the office move

The 2 modules I wanted did not exist, so I wrote them both

UK Grid Status https://github.com/KayosPi/MMM-UKGridStatus
Does not require API’s and shows either realtime or snapshots of the UK grid

Solax PV https://github.com/KayosPi/MMM-SolaxPV
Displays information from a Solax PV inverter, customisable to show whatever you want to see. Needs an API and a serial number linked to that API

Now it works, I will make it look nice

[Kayos]

I gave up with Ext3 calendar and settled on Ext2

Not completely happy but getting there

[sdetweil]

@Kayos why give up?

[Kayos]

@sdetweil

I failed to even get it to load and need a working display for tomorrow morning

I will return to it when I have time, EXT2 works, for now

[sdetweil]

@Kayos ext2 reads the ics directly
ext3 takes events from the default calendar module

[Kayos]

@sdetweil

And with that tiny, but crucial bit of info, I will get ext3 working

I deleted default from my config

[sdetweil]

@Kayos and then when you dont want the default to show,
you remove or comment out its position property

[Kayos]

I have tried again with EXT3, it loads but won’t output on either a connected screen or remote

I will need to dig into it, think I followed the setup and config properly

[sdetweil]

@Kayos does the default calendar module show events?

[Kayos]

@sdetweil

Yes it does, I’ve updated it to show UK holidays and an outlook calendar of mine

Both work

[sdetweil]

@Kayos then default ext3 should display a month
