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.

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…

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?
