Is this still working?? It was working flawlessly for me before but i turned the MM off for like 3 months when i was doing some work around the house and when i turned it back on i do not see anything on my list of gas stations.

It just says updated at this time and date but nothing listed.
I did a git pull thinking that something might have been updated in those 3 months but nothing changed.

Anyone else experiencing difficulties ???

I just did a git pull on my current installation and everything seems to be working just fine.

Have you made any modifications? Are there any errors being reported in the terminal or dev console?

[cowboysdude]

@richland007 Do a git pull as things did change and I updated it a month ago or so.

[richland007]

I did a git pull and than an npm install insde the module but still no luck only updated on today’s date and time.
No list of gas stations nothing just that.

Do we have to change anything in the module settings on the config.js file for the update??

@richland007

This should be your config entry. Have you tried another zip code? See if this one works.

{
            disabled: false,
            module: "MMM-Gas",
            position: "top center",
            config: {
                zip: "10306"
            }
        },

How do you change the size of the font in the module?

[sdetweil]

@DDE12 custom.css, like always

look to see if it has a css file which would tell u the class names used,

then use custom.css to override those settings

[DDE12]

@sdetweil There are two of them: MMM-Gas.css and MMM-Gas1.css. MMM-Gas did not seem to do anything and I was able to make some changes with MMM-Gas1 but not to the font size. Both css files have:

.MMM-Gas .xxsmall{
	font-size: 12px;

Changing it has no effect.
In dev mode, changing

.xsmall {
    font-size: var(--font-size-xsmall);
}

from main.css does change the font size. I assume that this will affect any other module that uses the xsmall font.
Is there a way through my css to set the font size for this module only?

[sdetweil]

@DDE12 yes, prefix the class with the module name

..modulename .xsmall {
...
}

this is the documented way to use custom.css

[DDE12]

@sdetweil That fixed it! Thank you! Looking back, I see that the module css has .xxsmall and the font size is determined by .xsmall. My brain glossed over that extra ‘x’. Maybe’s it’s a typo in the css because changing it does not seem to affect anything?

[sdetweil]

@DDE12 sorry, don’t know the module…

[DDE12]

I recently noticed that the MMM-Gas module is not showing/working. All of my other modules are working. I removed all the modules except MMM-Gas from config.js and disabled the default modules and am just getting a black screen. There is no Loading or Undefined message. I deleted the module and reinstalled but got the same results. MM is installed on a Raspberry Pi. Please let me know what further info I can provide or steps to take to troubleshoot further. Thank you!

[sdetweil]

@DDE12 can you show the mesages from npm start
if using pm2 to auto launch, then

pm2 logs --lines=???
??? is some number of lines, default 15

It doesn’t look like it is fetching the gas prices. ??

@cowboysdude - We have a car that only takes premium, and a car that only requires regular. Is it possible to show prices for multiple grades of fuel in a single instance of the module? {Obviously I could install one instance, rename a bunch of stuff and then install a 2nd instance, but I’m wondering whether it can do it natively? Thanks in advance.

[sdetweil]

@JohnGalt it cannot do it natively
