Never mind. Found a typo in the config. Working now. Is it possible to use this with a different language?

I think the API does offer the data in different languages. I will take a look at that, and when time permits, I’ll update the module.

EDIT:

I’ll post the update tomorrow. I’m done for the night.

I’ve completed the update. The module now has language translations straight from the API itself. Please do a git pull in your MMM-BMW-DS directory or install as per the readme. There is an amended config entry in the readme so please take note of that.

Let me know how that works for you.

@cirdan

Thank you, my friend. :-)

Fixed an issue that was brought to my attention by github user 73cirdan. I don’t know if he is the same as @cirdan but I would guess they are one and the same person. My thanks!

Do a git pull for the updated file or install as per the readme

cirdan

Yep, that’s me, thanks for the fix mate

I have another request for this module. Is it possible to show the time in 24h instead of am/pm?

Let me take a look at it. That should not be a problem. :-)

Feature

This really should have been included from the beginning. I guess it just didn’t cross my mind. Anyway, . . .

The module will now read the timeFormat: 12, (or 24) of your config and display the correct time format.

Do a git pull or install as per the readme

EDIT: Thanks CBD!

You can use your own mp3 sound files as long as you name them rain.mp3, thunder.mp3 and wind.mp3 and place them in the sounds folder of the module itself.

git pull or install as per the readme

i just installed this module, and the default CSS causes the display to take over the entire screen…

css:1, fixes it… I ‘assume’ the default should be 1?

Sorry the module is giving you trouble. You should not have a “default.css” file at all. In the css folder of the module there should only be 6 css files, named:

MMM-BMW-DS1.css
MMM-BMW-DS2.css
MMM-BMW-DS3.css
MMM-BMW-DS4.css
MMM-BMW-DS5.css
MMM-BMW-DS6.css

Maybe the way I implemented this, or documented this, is not very clear. I do apologize for that. If you have a suggestion for cleaning this up I would appreciate that, or if the problem is something else then please assist me in understanding and correcting.

sdetweil

your readme

  css: "1",                         // 1-6 (default, Clean, Lord of the Rings, Handwriting, etc)

ok, what is ‘default’?

ie, the setting if one doesn’t chose anything?

if I do not supply the line above, what value will be used

the screen shots show a line at the bottom of the page, so I ASSUME this must be the ‘default’ behavior…

Ok, I see. I’m off to dinner right now but I will correct that when I return. I’m sorry for the trouble and thank you for pointing that out to me.

@sdetweil

Ok, this is what I’ve done. I don’t know if this is the proper way of doing it but it does work.

// Gets correct css file from config.js
    getStyles: function() {
      if(this.config.css != ""){
        return ["modules/MMM-BMW-DS/css/MMM-BMW-DS" + this.config.css + ".css"];
      } else {
        return ["modules/MMM-BMW-DS/css/MMM-BMW-DS1.css"]; // default.css
      }
    },
