MMM-ModuleScheduler: need help

[anagallis]

Hello,

I need help to use the MMM-ModuleScheduler,
I don’t know how to config this module to display other modules at chosen times.
My need is to display picture module witch display different pictures on different times. Actually I use MMM-RandomPhoto, because I can configure a path with pictures.
I want to display pictures from the path:

• ‘MondayMorning/’ on monday morning from 9h00 to 12h00
• ‘Mandayafternoon/’ on monday from 13h00 to 17h00
• ‘thuesdaymorning’ on thuesday form 9 to 12, etc…

I can’t understand how to do that… is there somebody to help me please?

@anagallis if the schedules are the same every day, the easiest way would be the global schedule

Use the crontab tool to create a schedule line from:to for each time period, and add a string for the global_scheduler classname.

Then on the picture module add a property

classes:"???? ?????"

Where ??? Is the classname you specified in the schedule definition.

These classnames are just arbitrary strings, for example

Morning_scheduler, afternoon_schedule
The classes property takes a list of space separated strings

If the schedules are different on different days,
Make a pair for each day, using the same schedule names for all the days

Many thanks @sdetweil ,

Here is what I done, and MM only displays pictures from the first MMM-RandomPhoto, the class ‘lundimatin’ and we’re mondy afternoon, not morning…

	modules: [
        {
            module: 'MMM-ModuleScheduler',
            config: {
                // SHOW MODULES WITH THE CLASS '*********' AT **:00 AND HIDE AT **:00 EVERY DAY
                notification_schedule: [
                // SHOW AN ALERT toutes les minutes impairs
                {notification: 'SHOW_ALERT', schedule: '1-59/2 * * * *', payload: {type: "notification", title: 'Impaire !'}},
                // SHOW AN ALERT toutes les minutes pairs
                {notification: 'SHOW_ALERT', schedule: '*/2 * * * *', payload: {type: "notification", title: 'Paire !'}},

                    exclude: ["tmp", "#recycle"],
                },
                updateInterval: 5,
                opacity: "0.9",
            }
        },
        {

            config: {
                imageRepository: "localdirectory",
                repositoryConfig: {
                    path: "/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/Images/lundiaprem/",
                    recursive: true,
                    exclude: ["tmp", "#recycle"],
                },
                updateInterval: 5,
                opacity: "0.9",
            }
        },

Do you see where is my problem, please?

@anagallis the MMM-RandomPhoto module doesn’t support multiple instances
the html ID and Classes are hard coded

[sdetweil]

@anagallis delete the MMM-RandomPhoto folder

cd modules
rm -rf MMM-RandomPhoto

and git clone my repo

cd modules
git clone https://github.com/sdetweil/MMM-RandomPhoto

this supports multiple instances
restart MagicMirror

[anagallis]

@sdetweil aaaah ok, it’s not multiple instances! I understand the problem now.

The second version you give of the Random-Photo module can’t display local images, it’s only for images via the net. But thank you.

l have to find a new image module, witch can be multiple instances and with picture in local directories.

@anagallis ah, I see. I found the original. Not the other fork. Same problem

Working on it
