I am sending information to my Magic Mirror for music that is playing through alexa, I have the art, album name, song title and have created a module that shows this information. I want to add a progress bar to the module, I have the total run time and could just subtract time as it goes.

Can anyone help with a simple progress bar? I looked at multiple modules that have one but cannot extract that info…

If you create two modules you could use MMM-ModuleScheduler to schedule the show/hide of one the modules. I have not used it but it appears to do what you are asking.

https://github.com/ianperrin/MMM-ModuleScheduler

I personally use MMM-Remote-Control, but to do this you need to send a http request to show/hide the module. I do this through Home Assistant.

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…

http://free.timeanddate.com/countdown/i6f519yg/n64/cf12/cm0/cu4/ct0/cs0/ca0/cr0/ss0/cacFFFFFF/cpcFFFFFF/pc000/tcfff/szw576/szh443/tatTimer/tacFFFFFF/tptDone/tpcFFFFFF/mat/macFFFFFF/mpt/mpcFFFFFF/iso2019-01-24T10:00:01

@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…

All works great!! Love the module! Thanks

Awesome!!! Just want I want after WeatherUndergrown stops its free api.

I have it working but it takes up my entire screen even thought its set to top_right. And I cant get it to take any config changes, like table vs tiled.

{
  module: "MMM-DarkSkyForecast",
  header: "Weather",
  position: "top_right",
  classes: "default everyone",
  disabled: false,
  config: {
    apikey: "xxxx",
    latitude: "xxxx",
    longitude: "-xxxx",      
    iconset: "4c",
    concise: false,
    forecastLayout: "table"
  }
},

Any idea why this would happen?

I had the same issue trying to install on the latest Ubuntu, I could not get it to work, I would install 16.04. 16.04 works great for me.
See
https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/6994/mm-and-ubuntu-made-for-each-other

I installed docker according to the installation guide (https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror#manual-installation)
I can see its running in docker, is I run a log I don’t see any errors, and I have created a config.js and added my IP to the whitelist.

The log even says “Ready to go! Point your browser to…”

But I cannot get to the page to display at myip:8080, it just says site cannot be reached. What am I missing?

I am running this on a Ubuntu Virtual Machine.

Nice! I just did this recently too. I had been using scrobbler in chrome but it would not stay logged in and like you I have multiple devices playing music. So I set up IFTTT to update song name…

Any way this could be set up to show what is currently playing? With album art, artist and song name?

This can already be done you just need to get MQTT working with Smartthings, this can be posted locally or in the cloud (I use the cloud).

Getting MQTT working (I believe you just need the usage part)

(Added) you will need the bridge too but that is an add-on with hassio

Another MQTT on MM but only shows one status (this issue shows a good example)
