@sifuhall said in MMM-Gas Still Working?:

Re: MMM-Gas
Can anyone verify if this is still working?

I do not get any results.

Well since I wrote it… I’ll have to check that out :) I’ll let you know!

Yes Sir I can confirm it’s still working for me. If you run your mirror ‘npm start dev’ the results are in the console window… or an error will be there. Check it out and let me know.

Did you run npm-install in the module directory?

@snille Well that’s really not a deal breaker. It works and gaps the bridge. It’s a great module!

@cyberphox Eh don’t feel bad… I many of us do the same. LOL

I’d be VERY interested in his css for this…

This works so nice :) Thank you @Snille

@jalibu Very nice!!! I guess my job here is done LOL However for the record I have installed the module [MMM-Rain-Radar] and it’s working with no issue for hours…

@jalibu OH I’m not disagreeing with that! I see your point and honestly I think that would be awesome!

That would be a big undertaking for someone to do that. Problem is always the same… Time. Everyone is offering their time for free and all have full time professions so could it be possible? Yes. Likely? No. Not unless someone wants to build it and @MichMich accepts it. I personally don’t have time or desire LOL

@sdetweil Yes sir that works too :)

@ruff-hi just flat out run a copy of MM on a machine that either runs windows or unbuntu.

@jalibu there is it’s called the 3rd party module page

@ssauer I understand but here’s the issue with that depending on when a module is made. What I mean is that if a weather module was made 5 years ago it won’t show any ‘hits’ in a voting system. So going to github will give you an accurate view of it’s latest ‘hits’… which to me is an indicator that it works and it’s a good module.

As for ‘downvoted’ that’s not a good idea either. Some people have developed modules and shared with the community. Some developers are no longer here and becuase they offer their modules for free downvoting is a slap in the face. No one can or should expect someone to maintain a free module for life.

The idea of MagicMirror is so that the user can take active part in the development of their own mirror. I know myself have taken someone else’s module and molded to my needs for my mirror which is in all reality is what is supposed to happen. They offer it for free and it’s up to the person using it to modify/fix etc for their own needs.

Matter of fact I’m helping a couple people with a module I didn’t write because like I said the orginal developer isn’t going to maintain it for life. That’s what the community is for. To help, assist and again it’s free. I’m not downvoting a module because someone moved on with their life and don’t have time to maintain something they offered for free because it isn’t working. Modules aren’t a 1 size fits all kinda thing. Sometimes there’s issues because depending on what you’ve done to your own MagicMirror it may cause an issue. This was created and has been maintained as a ‘learning’ experience for users. This basically is an ‘educational’ setting and downvoting would be a bad idea.

I understand what you’re asking for but I don’t see it happening. When the MagicMirror project first started there was very little help. It took me a week to even get mine to start. BUT I took the time, fixed the issues and got it working. I felt good about that because at that point I had NO clue what I was doing and had no help. I am not a programmer, I learned to be one. That was the whole idea here and I am grateful for the experience and the friends I’ve made and the help they’ve given me. This is what this is about. We do live in a [as I call it] ‘buy me, give me, take me’ world where people want instant results. In reality that’s not how things work :)

So a voting system will, in my opinion, deter people from creating. I cannot think of one module developer that would want a voting system. Again they offered for free and if you choose to use one and you have an issue with it come here and ask for help, there are people that are more then willing to assist :)

PS there are a TON of weather modules LOL
