Cron.

#      m       h        dom    mon     dow     command
       15      2        *      *       *       sudo reboot

Why 2:15 you might ask? 2 AM daily my camera reboots and usually corrupts the display - takes about 10 minutes for it to restart where it don’t, and 5 more minutes to make sure it’s clear of it’s reboot and upgrade routines.

I recommend https://crontab.guru/ to help you build cron tasks.

@jamaces One other thing you can try - you can see if it’s dead space or something the module is hiding by adding a background shade to all modules.

.module {
          background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5);
} 

@0m4r When I’m testing something, I’ll load it up on my local machine, which is a Mac, and yes, I use Safari. :)

@joshajh No. I rotated between single modules and ran it portrait mode even.

For those who run across this and want to do it yourself:

@Sean said in MMM-CalendarExtMinimonth:

@mrdenmark
I think multi-instances are possible, but all the instances will display same result unless you modify the source of each instance.

This is correct. I’ve got it completely solved. Instructions are written for Raspberry Pi.

1. Install the module once using original directions.
2. Change to the modules home directory:

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules

2. Copy the module from it’s install directory to a new directory, so you have multiple copies (I used MMM-CalendarExtMinimonth2):

cp -r MMM-CalendarExtMinimonth MMM-CalendarExtMinimonth2

3. Change to new directory:

cd MMM-CalendarExtMinimonth2

4. Rename files MMM-CalendarExtMinimonth.css and MMM-CalendarExtMinimonth.js to new directory name.

mv MMM-CalendarExtMinimonth.css MMM-CalendarExtMinimonth2.css
mv MMM-CalendarExtMinimonth.js MMM-CalendarExtMinimonth2.js

5.  Modify the following lines - // and everything after it is my note: 

```js
dom.id = "CXMM" // Change "CXMM" to another id, I used CXMM2
colors.id = "CXMM_COLOR_TRICK" // Change CXMM to same as dom.id  
var trick = document.getElementById("CXMM_COLOR_TRICK") // Change CXMM again
Module.register("MMM-CalendarExtMinimonth", { // Change MMM-CalendarExtMinimonth to name of directory
return ["MMM-CalendarExtMinimonth.css"] // change to name of CSS file. 

6. Change every instance of ‘moment()’ to ‘moment().add(1, “month”)’ in the file except for the two “Today” calls:

Example:

// Change

var startCalDate = moment().locale(locale).startOf('month').startOf('week')
var endCalDate = moment().locale(locale).endOf('month').endOf('week')

// To: 

var startCalDate = moment().add(1, "month").locale(locale).startOf('month').startOf('week')
var endCalDate = moment().add(1, "month").locale(locale).endOf('month').endOf('week')
```js 
// DO NOT CHANGE THESE
// var startToday (If today is the 15th, it'll mark the 15th of next month as today if it's changed)
// var endToday (If today is the 15th, it'll mark the 15th of next month as today if it's changed)
// moment. (No "()") - Other function, not using moment library
//  moment(anything) - special function

7. In the renamed CSS file change all instances of CXMM to new dom.id name - If you don’t do this, you’ll get a string of numbers up the side.

8. In your config.js file - call it as a separate module:

{
module: "MMM-CalendarExtMinimonth2",
position: "bottom_right",
refreshInterval: 60*2.5*1000,
}, 
{
module: "MMM-CalendarExtMinimonth",
position: "bottom_right",
refreshInterval: 60*2.5*1000,
}, 

Make other changes to CSS as for default instructions.

Enjoy!

@jbeechey32 I used this to get the entire screen.

body {
	margin: 0px;
	height: 100vh;
	width: 100vw;
 }

@MarkV It’s documented how to do it. I (re)wrote that documentation personally. Feel free to read https://docs.magicmirror.builders/configuration/introduction.html#advanced-configuration-and-frequently-asked-how-to-configure-examples and ask here if you have any questions, I’ll be more than happy to help.

How I do URL calls in python is through urllib.request - import that library then:

urllib.request.urlopen("http://pi.hole:60001/remote?action=MONITORTOGGLE")

Depends on how far outside you wanna go outside the MM ecosystem.

edit: reminds me, I gotta re-write that for the new config, pi-hole and the mirror being two different units now.

UPDATE:

I’ve pushed this to 0.9. Module now will change start of week fully.

Localization including start of week is provided by moment.js - translation errors and/or start of week issues (example: they have it on Sunday, but it should be Saturday) should be reported to them. https://github.com/moment/moment/

Thanks!

@sdetweil you’re correct. It’s a string. That started fixing it up, just gotta reset a couple of variables I forgot to capture. 😏
