Awesome module!! The only thing I found it doesn’t work on is the clock…

The clock doesn’t have a config section and if you add it the config won’t load…

Can you post an example of your config for the clock with the scheduler options?

The following works for me to show the clock at 5 past each hour and hide in again at quarter past the hour…

{
	module: 'clock',
	position: 'top_left',
	classes: 'scheduler',
	config: {
		module_schedule: {from: '5 * * * *', to: '15 * * * *'},
	}
},

Well as it turns out… had an issue and had to use my img backup to reinstall the mirror… little did I know I had this already set up and working on the img so it does!!! :)

@cowboysdude Glad to hear it works!

I must have had it setup wrong so that was my fault… like I said it’s working! Thank you!

Just curious would it be possible not to hide but to dim specific modules?

@cowboysdude adding a css filter to the specific module could set the brightness down

I’ve pushed an update which includes the ability to dim a module. Please feel free to update the module and use the example configuration to test it out.

Hey @ianperrin

Great module by the way. Im messing about with it, and works really well.

Do you think it would be possible to broadcast a notification to the module(s) that are being shown / hidden so they could react to it?

So for example if any given module were able to check for SHOW_MODULE, HIDE_MODULE or DIM_MODULE in the notificationReceived function so that the module could react to it and handle some specific behaviour?

What do you think?
