@khayfer address:“localhost”

means ONLY apps INSIDE the same system can connect, means a browser started from the desktop

if you want to use another system, set
address:“0.0.0.0”,

[khayfer]

@sdetweil I changed it to 0.0.0.0 and it still says it could not connect to the server :-/

[sdetweil]

@khayfer can you open the MagicMirror page from that machine?

many browsers have started to implement local network access security. i know on my mac, i cannot access my 3d print server w chrome anymore. i have to use safari

[khayfer]

@sdetweil yes, I’m able to use the browser in the pi. I can navigate the internet no problem, but the moment I type the ip address, it still says could not connect to the server.
I then tried it on multiple different devices/browsers on the same wifi and they all say the same thing.

[sdetweil]

@khayfer and you are doing
http://address:port

for MagicMirror
port from config.js
on the same machine
you can use localhost

http://localhost:8080

ip addr

will give you the address of the pi
from your laptop

http://xxxxx:8080

where xxxxx was the addr from ip addr

my MMM-Chores is playing up big time now…
after the last update, not the most recent one, but the one before that, my chores list now is just a long list of everything coming up for ever…
it’s not just displaying the next days chores, but every chore. and if you tick off a chore being completed, it then just add’s that next time the chore is due to the bottom of the list. and there’s no end in sight on my magic mirror, but also no end in sight for the admin page. I’ll ‘complete’ a job, but then it just adds it to the bottom of the page…
anyone else having major issues with it? was working great before… and I worked out that the magic mirror needs to be running to get into the admin portal page. but now my mirror just looks like this…

Any help much appreciated as the kids can’t tick off when completed anymore…
Thanks

@mischag Hi!
latest update a lot settings has being moved to the webpage.

It should work with the old config.js but might be acting up.

try with the new settings. enabling show past tasks will show only past tasks that are not completed.

make sure your config.js has

{
  module: "MMM-Chores",
  position: "bottom_right",
  header: "Chores",
  config: {
    updateInterval: 60 * 1000,
    adminPort: 5003,
    openaiApiKey: "your-openApi-key here",
    settings: "unlocked", // set a 6 digit pin like "000000" to lock settings popup with a personal pin, change 000000 to any 6 digit password you want, or comment this out to lock settings completely
// other options can be set in the admin portal
    levelTitles: [
    // titles for every 10 levels
      "Junior",
      "Apprentice",
      "Journeyman",
      "Experienced",
      "Expert",
      "Veteran",
      "Master",
      "Grandmaster",
      "Legend",
      "Mythic"
    ]
  }
},

If you cant make the new settings work for you, you could jump back to an older version
git checkout uiimproovments and restart the module

@PierreGode – What does the ‘Chores per Week Estimate’ do?

What is it estimating, and what does it do with the estimate?

[PierreGode]

@JohnGalt
It was supposed to show total completed chores per user per week, but it was bugging. Do you have the latest version?

[JohnGalt]

@PierreGode – OK, thanks. I was just wondering what it is estimating, and what it is supposed to do with the estimates.

Hi! How does MMM-Chores determine current date for tasks? I create a task in the Admin page for today, but it only shows if I have the “Show past tasks” option checked. The “created” and “assigned” date are correct in the data.json file. The raspberry pi looks like it is in correct location and time zone.

[PierreGode]

@bossier17
MMM‑Chores reads the current date from JavaScript’s built‑in Date object, which pulls time information directly from the host system’s clock. The display logic calls new Date() to obtain “today,”

Test it creating a clock.js with and run it with node clock.js this is what the app uses

const now = new Date();
console.log(new Date().toString());

[bossier17]

@PierreGode said in MMM-Chores - Manage and keep track of your household Chores:

const now = new Date();
console.log(new Date().toString());

hmmm I can’t figure it out. clock.js returns the correct date/time. But I cannot get today’s tasks to show on the mirror. Somehow the display Chores on the Mirror is showing tomorrow’s chores only. If I put a chore in the admin page for tomorrow it will display. But chores I put in with today’s date only show if I have “Show Past Tasks” checked. Any ideas?

@bossier17
I made an update that I hope resolves the issue.
Update the module with git pull
/Pierre

[bossier17]

@PierreGode Awesome! That worked. Thanks so much!
