Kalliope assistant + MM

sdetweil

@dmwilsonkc edit the MM/modules/MMM-kalliope/MMM-kalliope.js and change all console. to Log.

console.log is ONLY allowed in the node_helper.js and Log.log is ONLY allowed in the module.js

@sispheor So… I figured out how to get rid of the error. I deleted line 86 of MMM-kalliope.js .

console.log(this.name + " received a socket notification: " + notification + " - Payload: " + payload);

Everything works fine for now. Not sure why this is, but I’m assuming the chromium browser does not like the console.log code, but I could be wrong.

@sdetweil huumm… yes it is obvious that you have to call your magic mirror url. Including the port if you changed it.

@dmwilsonkc indeed it’s weird, I use this code as it in prod on my mirror without any issue.
Maybe a recent update of chromium or MM.

@sdetweil Thanks for the info, I didn’t see it in time. I deleted the entire line of code. It worked after that. I will replace the line with your suggestion this evening.

i have 5 lines of console.log on my MMM-kalliope.js

@sispheor well, as a new MM user, obvious is not so…

sispheor

Guys, don’t hesitate to send a pull request to the project with your update. Including the “port” documentation part.

@sispheor @sdetweil Hey guys, thanks for your help! I got things working over the weekend.

Here’s a short video.

Cheers!

@sispheor I have made a minor tweak in your code on my fork to display the mycroft icon just above the title, which in my case I have changed to Mycroft. But I was wondering, any ideas on how I could tweak your code to display the message for an interval based on how long the message is? I played with it a little bit, but I think I’m missing exactly how it works. I tried to add an if statement for example:

for(var i = 0; i < this.messages.length; i++){
            var dif = currentDate.getTime() - this.messages[i].timestamp.getTime();
            if (this.message.length > 30){
              var secondsFromCurrentDateToMessageDate = dif / 1500;
              }else{
                var secondsFromCurrentDateToMessageDate = dif / 1000;
              }
            var secondsBetweenDates = Math.abs(secondsFromCurrentDateToMessageDate);

            // delete the message if to old
            if (secondsBetweenDates > this.config.keep_seconds){
                this.messages.splice(i, 1);
            }
        }
    },

But the old messages never get cleaned off the mirror.

Any thoughts about how to increase the time interval that the message is displayed based on the length of the message?

Any help would be much appreciated!

Edit:
Nevermind, I see what I’m doing wrong here. I will work on getting messages to display for different intervals based on how long they are and let you know what I come up with.:face_savouring_delicious_food:
