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!

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.

@Module-Developers

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.

Yes. Thats what I was referring to. Thanks for the clarification Fozz

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.

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.

@cowboysdude He helped me resolve the issue so its looking goooooooood!

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

I have been working on scaling the use of this great module. I thought about what other reoccurring things that I might need notification of. It came to mind that my front loading Washing Machine indicates that I need to clean the pump screen every 30 days! I also like to do a “tub clean” at about the same interval.
The washer has a setting that is named “tub clean” where one adds a bit of bleach or other detergent made for cleaning the inside of the stainless tub to make sure that there is not any bacteria and gunk that builds up.

In that vein I created a custom icon that can be used for notification. I wanted to share it with the community in case anyone else wanted to be notified as well.

Since I dont use the Recycle Can I just substituted this icon for the Recycle Can and set the reoccurring notification to be every 30 days!! Click the link and then Right Click - Save Image As
