@christian Sure - post it as an issue/feature request in the Github repo for this package and I’ll find some time to build it!

Hi,

I’ve recently installed this module and setup pretty painless. I am, however, having some issues in customising the display. As it’s likely me and not the module I thought here might be a better place than Github to ask.

The first issue is that, despite setting the position to be middle_center it adamantly displays justified to the left. If I set it as bottom_center, bottom_right or a variety of other positions it displays as expected; but always to the left if middle_center selected.

The second issue is that I can’t seem to get grid mode working. I’ve modified custom.css as advised, but it it just displays as a single column. I’ve even tried a full reboot of the RPi, but no difference.

The third is more of a question as I can’t find out how to do this. One of the display examples has the left column with room groups and the right with individual lights. Can anyone point in the direction as to how to do this?

Also - and I haven’t tried this yet - but has anyone tried this with two hubs?

For completeness, the config.js looks like this:

          {
                     module: "mmm-hue-lights",
                     position: "middle_center",
                     config: {
                            bridgeIp: "w.x.y.x",
                            user: "12345678901234567890",
                            displayType: "grid",
                            displayMode: "groups",
                            displayFilter: ['all'],
                            hideFilter: ['Annex'],
                            updateInterval: "5000"
                }

Thanks,

Dave

Hi,

Just to add that I have managed to work out why the multi-column grid wasn’t working - it was down to me adding the suggested lines between the default { } entries. Adding the lines at the very end of the file and I have columns at last! Just in case anyone else ever has the same issue the custom.css file looks like:

body {

}

.mmm-hue-lights .grid {
width: auto;
display: flex;
flex-flow: row wrap;
margin: -10px;
max-width: none;
justify-content: center;
}

.mmm-hue-lights .grid .hue {
width: calc(25% - 20px);
margin: 10px;
display: block;
}

Still puzzling over how the example had rooms in one column and lights in another - if anyone knows I’d be grateful of the help.

Thanks,

Dave

Hi,

very great module. Thanks for job.

It’s not possible to just see ‘your Rooms’, same as android Hue official app ?

Official app :

MagicMirror module :

I don’t understand why settings 'displaymode: “groups” does not work :(

Setting ‘groups’ work only in mmm-hue-lights?js file, on config file does not work.

The position has nothing to do with the internal alignment of the module - you need to add:

alignment: 'center',

to your config for the content to be centered.

The third is more of a question as I can’t find out how to do this. One of the display examples has the left column with room groups and the right with individual lights. Can anyone point in the direction as to how to do this?

Ahh … I guess I should have been more specific in the description of the examples. There’s no way to do what you describe above - in the screenshots I just wanted to show what both the lights and groups settings looked like, so I took 2 screenshots and placed them next to each other.

Sure - in the config, set this:

displayMode: 'groups',

and then it will only show your Rooms.

What do you mean it doesn’t work? That’s what I do on my mirror:

@michael5r

If i set

displayMode: ‘groups’,

in config file, MM show ‘lights’,

to view Groups, I have to parameter on mmm-hue-lights.js.

I don’t know why.

Please paste in your entire config for this module - you can XXX out the sensitive info. Thanks!
