Monitor was only partially coming back on this should fix that.

Well it would appear as though I’m also making a clock… yeah I said it… boring old clock LOL

BUT I’m going to use an RPI Zero 1.3 and run a minimal run of MM2 on it using a 7" touchscreen… you know off/snooze thing ;)

So I’ll keep you all informed… I just ordered a HubPiWi 1.3 :)

Well hey Thanks for making that easy… was JUST working on that LOL I’m putting it on github with instructions and the files…

I just run a straight cron job with a file called pir.py that runs two other files…

monitor_on.sh
monitor_off.sh

It’s not incorporated into the mirror it runs the entire pi and I’ve had great luck with it! :)

Pretty cool!

Any interested in possibly creating an alarm clock that can play a sound when it’s time?

@yawns Pictures are always cool!

Not implemented this yet @ianperrin , but this is an incredible contribution. We can make much more use of the modules now, rather than being limited to a certain number

This should be right in the install!! :)

@ianperrin Thank you! I’ll give that a go when I get home from work. This module is just about the handiest things I have seen!!!

I guess had I investigated cron I could have found that out myself… sorry.

With this I no longer wish the pi to ‘go to sleep’… I just show certain things at certain times and always leave the time and date on… it’s just amazing!!! You don’t realize how useful and important something sometimes until you have it!

Thanks again!

Now here’s a challenge for you LOL

Say you’d like a module to appear at 7 am until 8 am then again at 5pm until 11pm could it be worked so it could be set up like this:

{
module: ‘calendar’,
header: ‘US Holidays’,
position: ‘top_left’,
classes: ‘scheduler’,
config: {
// DISPLAY THE CALENDAR BETWEEN 09:00 and 18:00 ON WEDNESDAYS
schedule1: {from: ‘0 7 * * 3’, to: ‘0 8 * * 3’ },
schedule2: {from: ‘0 17 * * 3’, to: ‘0 23 * * 3’ },
calendars: [
{
symbol: 'calendar-check-o ',
url: ‘webcal://www.calendarlabs.com/templates/ical/US-Holidays.ics’
}
]
}
},

Just a thought but it could be useful :) My other thought was to enter the module twice and run it the way it’s written… going to test that :)

I tested that and that works ! :) The logic of the mirror just loads the modules [if in the config correctly] will load it as many times as you want! So I had it come on at 7 and go off at 8:30 then back on at 8:32 and that worked great! Not sure how hard it would be to change it to work but could just add another layer to the module :)

@pmauchle Awesome! :)

EXCELLENT!! Thank you!

I don’t have pictures but have been working on a PI radio for my car… I had to take the software and port it over from German to English… I did and a few other people are using it LOL Mine’s not ready yet…

Got a 3d printer to make some parts but I’m a contractor and working on this stuff in the summer is too hard… I’m too busy so it’s winter work… :)

@pmauchle said in Attach the monitor with glue to the mirror?:

My mirror is heavier than the monitor ;) But how should I attach the mirror to the monitor if the monitor is way smaller? Any ideas?

Have someone make you a small frame out of hardwood … this is what I do … I’m not a programmer but I am a contractor so I can build…

My frame is made out of mahogany and I love it… but what I’m suggesting is have someone take your total thickness and dado out U shaped channels to put around both…

Seriously? These people all have a life and jobs and school… they do this and help people because they are trying to share their knowledge and want to help others get their mirrors up and running by solving issues and writing modules so people can have the mirror that suites their needs.

No one is sitting here just waiting for you questions… sometimes they get answered quickly because someone that knows just happens to be here and sometimes they take a little bit… either way you should be grateful and not an ass.

I’m guessing you’re from the US [I am also] because this attitude of it’s all about me is old dude. This is why I love these guys most are from other countries and they are patient and nice.

I have a module because of the people here that took what I had and reworked it to work on this mirror and I am forever grateful that someone took their time to do that. I am very impressed. Because living here I am not used to that.

Go find someone who can and wants to just give you one on one attention the second you want it.

Did the git pull and it’s working to perfection… Thank you!!!

Only thing I can see wrong is the speed [decreased] of loading the mirror!

As part of the install process, npm install needs to be run to install the dependency on node-cron. This can take a little time, but is only required once. Having completed the install, I’m not seeing the performance issues you mention so we might need to look into that a little further.

No no it’s only an issue one time … after it loads the first time it’s fine thereafter :)

@cyberphox Yes I have an echo :) I like it…

I"m trying to decide myself on sensor or camera.

It’s turning anything off with 'classes: ‘scheduler’, attached no matter what time you set it for ;)
