MMM-MyWastePickup (Toronto waste collection schedule)

[onetwankyfive]

Great Success!

Its Awesome that its just a csv file that I can edit to match my recycle / trash in my city…
I have wanted this for a while now!

@onetwankyfive glad to hear you got it working!

You know, you make an interesting point about it just being a CSV… how difficult did you find it to modify for your schedule? Maybe I’ll write a tutorial in the Readme for anyone who wants to do this.

It was pretty easy… Just imported into google sheets and Download as a CSV in google sheets… It automatically put everything in the correct fields. You could prob make a template in google sheets that people could make copy of and then edit and export. Thanks again!

I just moved to Toronto so I am trying out this module and so far it works great except one kink. The icons are never on the right hand side of the module so they always overlap the text on the left hand side. I’ve checked everything I can think of (made sure the module has plenty of space, checked the code, reinstalled, etc) but I still cant get it to properly fill its container. Has anyone run into this before?

[j.e.f.f]

@SexyTrogg hey can you post your config? I’ll try it out. I suspect I might know what’s going on.

[j.e.f.f]

@SexyTrogg Try doing a git pull in the MMM-MyWastePickup directory. I think I fixed your problem. Let me know if it works.

[SexyTrogg]

@j.e.f.f Sorry for the delay. My config is just the simple:

{
  module: 'MMM-MyWastePickup',
  position: 'top_left',
  header: 'My Waste Collection',
  config: {
    collectionCalendar: 'Tuesday2'
  }
},

I’ll do a pull once I get back home and let you know if it works. Thanks for looking at this!

@J.e.f.f: Can you explain, how to add more than one day the calender is then displaying? If i understand your module correctly, when adding a collectionCalender (lets say “Tuesday2”) - only the dates from Tuesday2 (from the CSV file) are displayed. Right?
My waste is collected on three different days a week. Is this possible to configure with your addon?

[j.e.f.f]

@Medo The module doesn’t support multiple days in the config. However you can get what you want by configuring multiple instances of the module, one for each collection day that you need.

@j.e.f.f
Thanks for your answer. Yes, i already tried two instances but i wasnt satisfied with the overall look of it at the end.
Still a great module - but just not for my needs.

Is it possible to use these nice symbols in my own ics calendar?
If so, where can I find the symbols?
Peter

[j.e.f.f]

@Peter the symbols are contained in an icon sprite. Look for a file named icon_sprite.svg in the module folder.

[onetwankyfive]

Is there a reason why it used to display the next 2 dates and now it only displays 1?

[j.e.f.f]

@onetwankyfive it looks like the 2017 calendar has run out. I need to update the module with the 2018 calendar.

Hey jeff

I tried out your Module but it doesn’t work correctly for me.
Just showing up “loading…”

I changed your schedule.csv to match my collection schedule.

With this config:

{
		module: 'MMM-MyWastePickup',
		position: 'top_right',
		header: 'Entsorgungsplan',
			config: {
				collectionCalendar: 'Thursday1'
			}
		},

Is my language (german) the problem or should this work?

@onetwankyfive I’ve updated the module with 2018’s schedule. You should be good to go now.

[j.e.f.f]

@kruemel said in MMM-MyWastePickup (Toronto waste collection schedule):

I changed your schedule.csv to match my collection schedule.

I’m trying to do the same thing myself for a spin off of this for my collection schedule here in the UK. I’m having the same issue as you at the moment. When I figure it out, I’ll post back here.

[j.e.f.f]

@kruemel I honestly have no idea why yours isn’t working. I thought it might be because you used a collection day name that’s not valid, but Thursday1 is in the list. I also thought maybe your date format didn’t match, but that seems to be fine too.

Just to be sure, are you fully restarting Magic Mirror after these changes? The module only loads the schedule once at startup. Refreshing the browser won’t reload the schedule.

[kruemel]

Yes i did.

Now i git pulled your latest relase.
Also tried npm install and got this:

pi@mm:~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-MyWastePickup $ npm install
npm WARN mmmmywastepickup@1.0.0 No repository field.

But, with your 2018, its working.
I will try again after this update and will report to you :-)

[j.e.f.f]

@kruemel You can ignore that error message. It just means I’ve omitted some information from the package.json file, but none of what I’ve left out is critical to the operation of this module.
