I understand that in the beginning the amount information can be overwhelming, but how are you going to find out what you are doing when you scrape your project?
Especially when you are so close in getting the ‘Mirror’ started; just a few characters are missing in the config file.
The community here is very active and very helpful and can step down a nodge when it is getting too technical.
Of course it is expected that you have a certain level of knowledge or that you are willing to obtain that level.

Besides spending several hours, did you spend any money on equipment, etc?

If you decide to give it a last effort, then it would help to tell us on what platform your Mirror is running (Raspberry, PC, Ubuntu, etc) and it would help to report back with a bit more details (other than I tried and it did not work).
And if someone tells you to perform action XYZ and you have no idea what the heck XYZ is or how to execute, then don’t be afraid to say so.

The suggestions given, like try it module by module and the config check are very useful (I guess everyone was in this position, I know I was) and will solve your issues.

If you decide to move away from Magic Mirror, then I respect that, but perhaps you will reconsider.

Disclaimer: I do not have any shares in the project and am by no means an expert. Just reaching out. :-)

Hi,

For beginners, the catchphrase is “JSON syntax”.
There are many articles to be found, both short and lengthy.
A small article would be:
https://restfulapi.net/json-syntax/

The main things to look for in your config.js file are:

• does every [ have a matching ]
• are all arrays separated by a , (the last array does not need a ,)
• does every { have a matching }
• are all objects separated by a , (the last object does not need a ,)
• is every name value pair separated by a ,

The syntax checker will try to find out if this syntax is correct and tries to predict where the error could be.
So, when it says it saw a [ and it cannot find a matching ] it tells you what was expected and what it saw.

Try to format you config.js to make it more visible.
For example this:

[{},{}],[{},{[]}]

is better written like this:

[
  {},
  {}
],
[
  {
  },
  {
    [
    ]
  }
]

Pairs of [ ]and { } are better visible like this.

Good luck :-)

@CyruS1337 said in Cronjob:

I have always used the command sudo crontab -e and with this it did not work.

Just to clarify.

Normally you are user pi: $ who am I

So crontab -e will work for the pi user.
Using sudo crontab -e will change the crontab for the root user.

Now how can you tell what is what ?

For the user pi:
$ sudo crontab -l -u pi
which is the same as
$ crontab -l
For the user root:
$ sudo crontab -l -u root

Furthermore, when you have activated the root crontab, then the command will run as root, in the root (/) directory.
In this case pm2 reload command will search for the mm.sh script under / and will not find it.
Whereas when activated the pi crontab, the mm.sh script will be searched in the /home/pi directory, where it should be, and it will work.

Use pm2 show mmto show the details on mm under pm2.
Then you will understand it better.

Cron messages normally are directed to /var/log/cron.log, but on my system it is not directed:

$ grep cron /etc/rsyslog.conf
#cron.*				/var/log/cron.log

To see the cron messages, when not in cron.log:

$ tail -F /var/log/syslog | grep CRON

[ On my system I see CRON messages for root, although I do not have root crontab entries. There is a crond running that runs alongside $ systemctl status cron.]

Have fun :-)

I got streaming from a Linux SAT receiver with enigma2 working, using the module MMM-RTSPStream-
But you will need to supply a bit more information than rather ‘a TV tuner’.

See this thread:
https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/9730/led-monitor-vertical-setup-how?_=1591998940597

In your case I would try

display_hdmi_rotate=1

@Clubjack and others,

I noticed this problem too.
For instance my birthday lasted 2 days ( only got presents once though) and my wedding-day is one day forward (which will upset my wife).
The entries were made using Google Calendar (so not a calendar app that synchronizes with Google).
I notice this since 2020, but that does not mean it did not happen before, could have overlooked it.
When I ran a test with a dummy entry, it worked fine.
When I toggle a „faulty“ entry from repeating to not repeating and then back to repeating, the entry is shown correct.
I collected some data and will post it when I sorted it out a bit.

Probably there are better and possible simpler ways to get it done, but I do something similar using a Perl script and this module:
https://github.com/eouia/MMM-HTMLBox
The Perl script reads values and builds a HTML page.
The module displays it on the Magic Mirror.
A cron job makes it semi-static as it runs the script regularly.

Okay, got it working.

In ioBroker I needed to activate the "Build-in Simple-API in web.0.

Then this works:

And this works:

Fingers x there is a Portrait fix going about, as cannot afford another build in Landscape mode

Hi,

Please read this thread:

Perhaps it helps .

@sdetweil said in pm2 Autostart invert issue:

@Ethyx r u running buster?

try this
https://pimylifeup.com/raspberry-pi-rotate-screen/

@Ethyx

Did you try this?

display_hdmi_rotate=2

Make sure you only have one of the options active; not that you rotate a rotated screen. :-)

@schris88

Just FYI, I declare(d) more parameters than really necessary and actually used, in order to allow for more counters to display.
For example a gauge for each panel; more details on the energy production of each panel; etc.
I will make a remark about this in the code.

@schris88

First of all, those are details I need to have a look at now that the basis is there.
Perhaps there are other values and queries that make sense and that I can use. Like dtu_power and dtu_daily_energy.
Also saving some data to not have counters showing 0 when the invertor is inactive needs to be implemented.
During testing I found out that the pv_data for port 1 and 2 were different sometimes and that is why I needed to add those checks.
And they can never hurt. Better to be safe than sorry.
Furthermore, when you have only 1 panel connected, it is needed anyway.

@schris88

Christian,

This is on the TODO list:
change pv_data to dtu date for combined output of inverter

But I do not really understand what you mean by it.
Do you mean combined output of 2 panels iso just 1 ?

Please elaborate.

E.J.

Hi there,

I made some major changes to the code and hopefully did all the GitHub stuff correct in order to allow persons interested to give it a (new) try.

https://github.com/schris88/MMM-Hoymiles-Wifi

There is still a lot to do (see ‘TODO’ in the README file), but I think the basis provided by Christian (@schris88) has been strengthened.

Best regards,

E.J.

@sdetweil

That did the trick !

I must say that the Elements tab is confusing, as it looks like the value did not change.
Probably this is the state before custom.css is applied.

The padding has gone (this was my goal):

An additional question.
How to change the class, as in this example ?

$('.calendar table')
<table class="xsmall"><tr class="dateheader normal dayAfterTomorrow"><td colspan="3" style="padding-top: 10px;">Nov 15th 00:00 </td></tr><tr class="event-wrapper normal event dayAfterTomorrow"><td>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</td><td class="title bright align-left" colspan="2">TestCal: All day event</td></tr></table>

.calendar .table {
  class: "small" !important;
}

It says Unkown property name, which makes sense.

E.J.

@sdetweil

Yes, I can:

But is stricken through.
So somebody high-jacked it probably.

Look like I am going somewhere, but now the finishing touch.

@sdetweil

parens, not braces

Yes, those who can read have a clear advantage. :-)

$('.calendar tr .dateheader.normal.dayAfterTomorrow td')
null

$('.calendar tr.dateheader.normal.dayAfterTomorrow td')
<td colspan="3" style="padding-top: 10px;">Nov 15th 00:00 </td>

$('.calendar .dateheader.normal.dayAfterTomorrow td')
<td colspan="3" style="padding-top: 10px;">Nov 15th 00:00 </td>

custom.css:

.calendar .dateheader.normal.dayAfterTomorrow td {
    padding-top: 0px;
  }

.calendar tr.dateheader.normal.dayAfterTomorrow td {
  padding-top: 0px;
}

Both do no work.

Either the selection is wrong, or perhaps it has to do with style="padding-top: 10px;".
Or both.

Will continue tomorrow.

E.J.

@sdetweil said in Changing table cell in calendar module using custom.css:

@evroom did you get this resolved?

No, I did not and even with your additional tutorial I am hitting a black spot.

I see this at the bottom:

This corresponds with:

<div class="module-content"
><table class="xsmall">
    <tr class="dateheader normal dayAfterTomorrow">
        <td colspan="3" style="padding-top: 10px;">Nov 15th 00:00 </td>
    </tr>
    <tr class="event-wrapper normal event dayAfterTomorrow">
        <td>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</td>
        <td class="title bright align-left" colspan="2">TestCal: All day event</td>
    </tr>
</table>
</div>

So I should have all info available to build the CSS entry, you would think.
Right ?

And the console does not like my input:

${'calendar .event'}
VM2076:1 Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token '{'
${'.calendar .event'}
VM2080:1 Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token '{'
${'.calendar .event .time'}
VM2146:1 Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token '{'

I cannot even make a CSS entry to change this:
<table class="xsmall">, that is how lost I am :-)

Need to study the existing tutorials some more.

@mumblebaj said in Contributing to a GitHub repository - a bit stuck:

Make sure it is set to bash.

It is set to zsh.
No issue to change it to bash, but is there a reasoning behind it ?

Stupidly enough I had this Terminal open the whole time.

I just did ‘Commit’ from within VS Code and then did ‘Sync Changes’.

Result:

% git status
On branch evroom
Your branch is up to date with 'origin/evroom'.

nothing to commit, working tree clean

So that works just fine.

I also made a change using the Terminal and then did the add and commit from the Terminal.
In the Source Control pane you can see what you do on the command line in real time.

@sdetweil

Great!

Then a final question:

In short:

I program using in VS Code and here is Source Control active.
Can I use the GitHub CLI and the Visual Studio Code like together, or will they bite each other ?

A bit longer, with an example:

I have edited HoymilesWifi.sh in VS Code.
On my machine, I see:

% git status
On branch evroom
Your branch is up to date with 'origin/evroom'.

Changes not staged for commit:
  (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
  (use "git restore <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
	modified:   HoymilesWifi.sh

no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")

On VS Code I see:

V Commit

Changes

$ HoymilesWifi.sh

Can I Commit it from within VS Code, or is it safer to use the GitHub CLI as I have done for the README.md file previously ?
