@michael5r just asking…why nest-status need to send notifications to other modules ?

@michael5r after hours of tests i found out that if i use default clock and calendar module then after a few minutes nest module stop updating.If i dont use clock/calendar and comment them at config.js then nest module is working fine for days.I am not a developer but i suspect that has something to do with notifications between these modules…

ok i get it now thank you @Sean .I resolved all the problems i had with my modules except MMM-NEST-STATUS,so i dont need to refresh any more.Thanx again for the explanation.

thnx for your answer ,yes i need to refresh mm hourly just to keep some modules keep working/updating.I thought it was a good idea so i schedule a refresh every hour using the mmm-modulescheduler.The only hiccap i have is with news module that multiplying the headlines with every refresh.I now using the default news feed that is working fine but MMM-NEWS is way better.I wish there was a fix for that.

Re: MMM-News
I use this module and its very nice.I only have 1 problem .Whenever i refresh (Ctrl+R) MM it seems that it clones every headline i see.For example if i refresh 1 time it shows the same headline twice,if i refresh 2 times it shows the same headline 3 times and so on.My config is :

{
                        module: "MMM-News",
                        position: "bottom_bar",
                        config: {
                                 apiKey : "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
                                 type: "horizontal",
                                 touchable: false,
                                 autoScroll: true,
                                 scrollStep: 100,
                                 scrollInterval: 1000,
                                 items: 20,
                                 drawInterval: 1000*10,
                                 query : [
                                          {
                                           country: "gr",
                                           className: "redTitle",
                                           category: "entertainment",
                                          },
                                          {
                                           country: "gr",
                                           className: "redTitle",
                                           category: "science",
                                          },
                                          {
                                           country: "gr",
                                           className: "redTitle",
                                           category: "technology",
                                          },
                                          {
                                           country: "gr",
                                           className: "redTitle",
                                           category: "health",
                                          },
                                         ],
                                },
                },

found some time to debug why module stops updating.I think it has something to do with my on/off monitor function.I use Motion to turn on my mm tv when movement detected by sending a “/opt/vc/bin/tvservice -p ; sudo chvt 6 ; sudo chvt 7” command.After 5 min with no motion detected it power off my tv sending a “on_event_end /opt/vc/bin/tvservice -p”.I think that after some time of power off monitor the module’s update function breaks.All other modules i use they work and updating fine all the time.

EDIT: ignore all of the above,even when my screen is on the module stops updating after a few hours…I dont know what else to try…maybe some other module causing this?Is it possible?

EDIT 2: I opened the console at the developers tools inside mm and i notished that from the moment MMM-NEST-STATUS module starts spams with notifications clock and calendar modules like that

clock received a module notification: MMM_NEST_STATUS_UPDATE from sender: mmm-nest-status
calendar received a module notification: MMM_NEST_STATUS_UPDATE from sender: mmm-nest-status

until it stops and stop updating the nest status also.Is that normal?

i use motion with a PS3 camera, which i also use for google assistant,to turn on and off monitor when no one is around.I just wanted a little something just to fill the center of the display.I just used google photos module and i gained some WAF points :)

looking for a nice light animation to go to the center of my mirror running at a pi3.All that i have tried are chopy and laggy cause of the pi.Any nice suggestion?

i am using the develop branch of the module with vlc and latest MM.The feed is playing alright but it seems it is over MM and when i click over another module the feed dissapears going under.How can i solve that?

@michael5r my Thermostat read is greyed out too …is that matter?
