    • RE: MMM-NOAA - Another Weather Module

      Now that I have scrapped my Pi Zero W and have done a fresh install of “Buster” and MM on my Pi 3 B Plus everything is playing together nicely!

    • RE: Can someone do the coding for me? $$

      Start by posting your currently installed modules.
      Like this

      1. MMM-Calendar
        etc.

      The copy your config.js entries (MagicMirror/config) in thier entirety using the code option </> above.

      Then post your custom.css file (MagicMirror/css) using the code option </>

      This will give the coders and people willing to assist a headstart .

      This project seems perfect for some of the pro’s on this forum.

    • RE: Trying to modify dimensions of module MMM-RAIN-RADAR

      There is a subdirectory named css below the main MagicMirror directory. Within that subdirectory one should find a file named custom.css. Open this file with the built in text editor by right clicking upon the file and choosing Text Editor.

      Then copy the code above by highlighting it and then right clicking and choosing copy or highlighting it and pressing CTRL-C .
      Then create a line within the custom.css by clicking below the body statements and then Right Click and Choose Paste or press CTRL-V

      Make sure that this code is NOT within the brackets that specify body, but instead below those entries.

    • RE: Configured PIR sensor but won't trigger

      I think this post may be helpful. https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/6987/mmm-pir-sensor-problems/10

      It appears that you have wired correctly. Although I would use the Red wire on the VCC for power and the black wire to denote ground and the brown wire as the output wire. Thats typically the way wiring is denoted.

      I believe that pin 22 is used for the output so double check that. There is also a delay setting in the config.js that the previous thread speaks of that may impact your setup.
      Give it a read.

    • RE: MMM-DumpsterDay

      I think I may install this module as it sounds handy. Here we can only put out our Landscape cans every 2 weeks as they will not pick them up every week. I get confused sometimes as to which week it is “Landscape Week” or “Non-Landscape Week”. Would it be possible to alter the code to display a different style pulsing Icon for Landscape cans. Actually 2 Trash cans would be nice. One White for the regular trash can and one Green -signifying the color of the landscape can. If this is possible why not add an option to have all three colors represented.
      White = Standard trash Can
      Green=Landscape
      Blue=Recycle

      Oh, you misspelled Dumpster in the title of the post and spelled Dupster instead.

    • RE: MMM-DumpsterDay

      @DeanoNoire Ahh , thats what is causing the issue.
      US Format is Month:Day:Year and not
      the European Standard Day:Month:Year.

      @sdetweil Here is how I rotated mine and probably the same method was used.

      The video also discusses removing the black border as well.

    • RE: MMM-Sonos - To show what your SONOS is playing.

      I added the code to my custom.css file that was entered within one of the first posts and expected it to provide a new layout and look , but nothing changed?

      Its as if the entries in the custom.css are not being recognized.

      Do I need to add .MMM-Sonos right above the entires?

      Update: Tried that and still no effect.

    • RE: MMM-Sonos - To show what your SONOS is playing.

      Any way to remove the Source: specifier?

      I tried
      showSource:False,
      within the config.js to no avail.

    • RE: MMM-Sonos - To show what your SONOS is playing.

      I finally solved this. Turned out I left out the tilde (~) in front of the /node-sonos-http-api within the sonos.sh file. So in essence the directory was never switched to execute the npm start command. So even though my PM2 status of running processes showed Sonos as a running process it was not providing the output data so that the module could display it

    • RE: PDF Implementation

      If others load one .pdf file to the google drive and then delete all other files in that directory well then the file extension would still be .pdf (right) ? So then one could script it using *.pdf (file that ends in .pdf)

      So whatever actions that were taken were performed upon a file that ended with .pdf

      The file name becomes inconsequential. Just grab all .pdf files (as there will only be one) , download them to a specific directory you create on a local system (ftp sounds like it may be a good option for this) and then use the convert action that @ember1205 speaks of within ImageMagick, upload back to Google Drive via ftp and then (damn! Google Drive will then rename it with another file ID and then the URL that is within the config.js that points to the url will be broken and not display -ugggggg) . I think I understand now.

      Here is a Google Chrome Add on that allows one to Overwrite the same file without changing the file name. It “may” be helpful?
      https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/drive-overwrite-file-repl/llanhaaigblafdecdihpppjaeekpddfl?hl=en-US

      It really sounds like you may have to delve into Google App Script to accomplish this. https://developers.google.com/apps-script

      If you have questions about using this scripting tool then I think there is support over on www.stackoverflow.com

      I am not a Google Script Coder so I cannot be of any help there.

    • RE: PDF Implementation

      MMM-Iframe has been overhauled and become MMM-SmartWebDisplay.

      This module allows one to point to a website URL (one or multiple-that are displayed upon a time interval)

      What one could do is install that module and then point it to the address of the URL with a static file name.

      Then create a simple batch script that changes the name of the latest .pdf file to the .pdf file named in the url that is within the config.js file under the MMM-SmartWebDisplay settings.

      This batch file would rename the .pdf file locally on the hard drive of a PC and then automatically FTP the file up to a server. Google Drive allows ftp right?

      Want to send me a link to the .pdf file so I can try to display it within MMM-SmartDisplay?

      You can PM if that is needed as well.

      Why not use the onboard WiFi adapter on the Raspberry Pi3 B ?

      On the sensor topic . Why not go with a Microwave Sensor. Search posts by @fozzie as he has just installed one and likes it alot!
