MMM-ModuleScheduler - Module Schedules and Notifications

ianperrin

Nice work! LockStrings are not yet implemented, right? Until then I can’t use the module.

LockStrings should now be supported - feel free to test and let me know if it works as expected!

Will give it a try! Thanks @ianperrin !

Hi,

I am trying to dim my mirror at nighttime - on weekdays between 10PM and 7AM, on weekends between 10Pm and 8AM. However, the below code does not do the trick - where is my mistake?

  		{
			module: 'MMM-ModuleScheduler',
			config: {
				global_schedule: [ 
					{from: '0 7 * * 1-5', to: '0 20 * * 1-5', dimLevel: '30'},					
					{from: '0 8 * * 0,6', to: '0 20 * * 0,6', dimLevel: '30'},					
				]
			}
		},

@anatius The config looks okay, can you check the output of the log pm2 logs mm once you have started MM2 and viewed it in a browser then post the results here?

It should look something like:

MMM-ModuleScheduler received INITIALISE_SCHEDULER
MMM-ModuleScheduler is setting the config
MMM-ModuleScheduler is removing all scheduled jobs
MMM-ModuleScheduler received CREATE_NOTIFICATION_SCHEDULE
MMM-ModuleScheduler received CREATE_GLOBAL_SCHEDULE
MMM-ModuleScheduler is creating a global schedule for all modules using "0 7 * * 1-5" and "0 20 * * 1-5" with dim level 30
MMM-ModuleScheduler is dimming all modules
MMM-ModuleScheduler has created the global schedule for all modules
MMM-ModuleScheduler will next show all modules at Mon Dec 19 2016 07:00:00 GMT+0000 (UTC)
MMM-ModuleScheduler will next dim all modules at Mon Dec 19 2016 20:00:00 GMT+0000 (UTC)

Hi Ian,

Below is the relevant output of the log (error log is empty). Note that now (Monday at 3 PM) all modules are dimmed though they should not be…

Hi @anatius (Christian)

Okay, I think I see the problem, and a fix is in the works, its just going to take a little time until I can finish it.

I’ve created an issue on github which contains more details on why this is happening.

Until the fix is in place, you have two (understandably sub-optimal) options

leave the mirror running and it should self-correct after the next 8pm and/or 7/8am depending on when it is started :(
temporarily use the same expression for all days of the week, e.g.

global_schedule: [ {from: '0 7 * * *', to: '0 20 * * *', dimLevel: '30'} ]

Hi Ian,

Thanks for the support. You are right indeed, the error corrects itself the first time the scheduler sets the module to undimmed. It is just that the starting conditions are not correct, but this is no big deal for me. It is just that I was too impatient to wait for the scheduler to change status for the first time…

Many thanks for your support!

Firstly, thanks for making such an awesome module!

However, I can get it to work with all of my modules except one… I can’t get it to work with MMM-Instagram. I have it set up just like all of my other modules, but this one just ignores the scheduler script and always runs, never following the code. Here is the module code in config.js:

		{
		      	module: 'MMM-Instagram',
		        position: 'top_right',
			classes: 'scheduler',
		        config: {
				module_schedule: [
					{from: '0 5 * * 1-5', to: '0 9 * * 1-5'},
					{from: '0 17 * * 1-5', to: '0 22 * * 1-5'},
					{from: '0 6 * * 6-7', to: '0 24 * * 6-7'}
				],
		                access_token: '//ACCESS_TOKEN//',
		                count: 200,
		                min_timestamp: 0,
		                animationSpeed: 2500,
                		updateInterval: 12000
			}
		},

any thoughts? here’s a picture of what it looks like when the scheduler is active: https://goo.gl/photos/K3S6HA7m61j5iSEe8

@lucallmon Honestly I’m a bit lost on this one… I’m going to defer to @ianperrin for this one…
