This is what I use for my washer/dryer, mine is not on wifi so I have to rely on power and temp sensors to trigger a “running” or “done” state. It may be crude as I may not know exactly what I am doing but it works!

And I use Home Assistant (https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/10664/home-assistant-controling-my-magic-mirror) to trigger when you may use ifttt.

Yes, I use Mmm-syslog to do this as well, to show and hide icons on my magic mirror for garage door, laundry, trashday…
The laundry one is posted here https://github.com/jasondreher/MMM-door-sensor3

I just have samba set up on my pi, so then I can access the MM folder on my windows PC. Then backup the MM folder from there.

Works well, I have restored many times. Just reinstall MM and copy the files to the new pi.

I cant seem to limit the width of my module to fit on my 3.5 in. screen. I want it to just display one module (MMM-CountDown) but the module goes off he screen. I have tried many variations of the below and cant seem to get it to work. Any ideas?

I have tried the below in my custom.css

.region.top.left  {
  max-width: 30px;
}

and

.region.top.left .MMM-CountDown .module-content {
  max-width: 30px;
}

and

.MMM-CountDown {
  max-width: 30px;
}

OK, makes sense. Thanks!!

Ok I was thinking I could figure this out (removing the days), but got so far and am stuck.
I was able to change the days to blue in the display, how do I get this into the css? I was thinking I could just change the days to black and they would not be shown. Am I on the right path to get this done? How to I get this into my css page?

I lover the MMM-EventHorizon module and am using it as a timer in my kitchen, but for that I dont need the “Days” in the timer. any way to remove this from the module? Or maybe just make it black to hide it?

I basically just use the site below and change the date and time…

@jasondreher said in sendNotification help:

this.time = payload

I added “this.time = payload”, this is using the payload correct?

OK so I change my sendNotification to

this.sendNotification('SHOW_TIMER','18:25:25');

and the MMM-EventHorizon notificationReceived to

    notificationReceived: function(notification, payload) {
        if (notification === 'HIDE_TIMER') {
            this.hide(1000);
        } else if (notification === 'SHOW_TIMER') {
            this.show(1000);
            this.time = payload //I added this
            this.updateDom();  //I added this
        }

    },

Thinking the paylaod will update the countdown time but it does nothing… Not sure what I am doing worng. I have tested this quite a few different ways and searched quite a bit…

I can tell its doing something as it flickers (like it is refreshing with the updateDom) but the countdown does not reflect the new time.

I want to be able to send a value to https://github.com/mykle1/MMM-EventHorizon to change the time used in a count down timer. Right now I can make the module hide with…

this.sendNotification('HIDE_TIMER');

but I cant seem to do much more, how do I change my sendNotification to include a payload to change the date and time in MMM-EventHorizon. I will have to change the notificationReceived in MMM-EventHorizon to I assume…
