I assume the MM is running on a raspberry pi. The display does not go into low power mode but this may be what you are looking for…
xset -display :0 dpms force off
You may have to install xset.
I have triggers through HomeAssistant (home automation).
I have the same issue, a repeating event will show up fine but if I change the time of future events or just delete one it has issues displaying.
I would think you would have to have separate modules to do this, like MMM-Snow is snow, MMM-Snow1 is rain… Then show hide he appropriate one.
You can do this today but need Home Assistant to monitor the weather. This uses weather underground. It works great for me, when it starts snowing my MM displays snow.

I was able to get a local list to show (I did not try from dropbox). I just modified MMM-HTMLBox to fit my needs.

Any help/thoughts on screen resolution?
When I have my screen at 1280x720 MMM-Snow looks smooth and fantastic, but all my other modules don’t fit well, I tried changing the font size on my custom css but cant get it to fit well.
But when its at 1920x1080 its choppy and does not look so good, and all my other modules are perfect.
Great module in any form! Thanks
Sean, how do you use xset for turning the display on and off? I have set up my tinker board and all works great but the display. I tried to set up a crontab scheduled job with python script but I cannot get it to work. I have a script with “xset dpms force off” in it and it works through cmd window, but I cannot get it to work on a schedule.
Did anyone get a resolution to this? I am having the same issue, I have a repeating calendar event that shows up fine, but when I change one item in the series it does not show up.
Just to calm things down a bit…
You could possibly run MM on a Raspberry Pi (something inexpensive) and display it on the Fire. I could test it out soon, I have both. The MM-Remote-Control module has an option to display the MM from a web browser.
@Andrius-ok
You need both MMM-Snow and MMM-Remote-Control, and its not just my config you need. here are the basic steps I took…
- platform: wunderground
api_key: xxxxxxxxxxxxx
monitored_conditions:
- alerts
- dewpoint_f
- temp_f
- weather
switch
mmsnow:
command_on: 'curl "http://192.XXX.X.XXX:8090/remote?action=SHOW&module=module_0_MMM-Snow"'
command_off: 'curl "http://192.XXX.X.XXX:8090/remote?action=HIDE&module=module_0_MMM-Snow"'
4. Automation in HA calls these when the state changes to "Snow"
alias: “ShowSnow”
initial_state: True
trigger:
platform: state
entity_id: sensor.pws_weather
to: ‘Snow’
action:
alias: “HideSnow”
initial_state: True
trigger:
platform: state
entity_id: sensor.pws_weather
from: ‘Snow’
action:
I use home assistant along with smartthings to automate my lights...
I plan to share my entire project soon.@McSorley
I have done this, worked quite well this weekend. Used HomeAssistant to know when it was snowing and if the description changes to “Snow” then have MM unhide the MMM-Snow module. I used RemoteControl to unhide and hide…
I see that you can make a web browser call to restart MM with
http://192.168.xxx.xxx:8080/remote?action=RESTART
but I cannot figure out how to hide/show a module…
Anyone know how? I want to be able to show my MMM-Snow when it starts snowing outside (with the help of HomeAssistant).
Darn it, I was changing the update time in the module but not the config. It works now, thanks for all your help, this is a fantastic module!!!
@Sean said in Module to display a local list?:
xmlHttp.open(“GET”, url + “?” + Date.now(), true)
I did this but no change, it still will not update…
How do I get it to refresh? I added it to “refresh_interval_sec: 60,” but it does not seem to refresh. If I “Ctrl+R” i refreshes and shows changes.
Other than that it works great!!!
This is my test pi, the list from HTMLBox is in the upper right.
No one?
I got mmm-backlog working but it breaks other modules and does not sow up in my remote module so I assume it is missing something.
And I tried MMM-HTTPRequestDisplay but cant get it to pull from a local file.
Here is my mmm-backlog module (renamed MMM-samslist)
MMM-samslist.js
Module.register('MMM-samslist',{
defaults: {
title: 'List',
fileUrl: '',
units: config.units,
animationSpeed: 1000,

retryDelay: 2500,
//fileUrl: "http://192.168.43.159:8080/modules/MMM-shoppinglist/list.json"
},
// Define required scripts.
getScripts: function() {
return ["moment.js"];
},
// Define requird styles
getStyles: function() {
return ["font-awesome.css"];
},
start: function() {
Log.info('Starting module: ' + this.name);
this.loaded = false;
this.sendSocketNotification('CONFIG', this.config);
},
getDom: function() {
//var wrapper = document.createElement("ticker");
//Added
var wrapper = document.createElement("ticker");
wrapper.className = 'dimmed small';
var data = this.result;
var statElement = document.createElement("header");
var title = this.config.title;
statElement.innerHTML = title;
wrapper.appendChild(statElement);
//Added
if (!this.loaded) {
wrapper.innerHTML = this.translate('LOADING-Jason');
wrapper.className = "dimmed light small";
return wrapper;
}
if (!this.data) {
wrapper.innerHTML = "No data";
wrapper.className = "dimmed light small";
return wrapper;
}
var t = this.data.list;
var content = document.createElement("div");
content.innerHTML = "";
for (var i in t.datasequences) {
content.innerHTML += t.datasequences[i].title + "<br />";
//content.innerHTML += t.title + " - " + t.datasequences[i].title + "<br />";
//for (var j in t.datasequences[i].datapoints) {
// content.innerHTML += t.datasequences[i].datapoints[j].title + ": " + t.datasequences[i].datapoints[j].value + "<br />";
//}
}
wrapper.appendChild(content);
return wrapper;
},
socketNotificationReceived: function(notification, payload) {
if (notification === "STARTED") {
this.updateDom();
}
else if (notification === "DATA") {
this.loaded = true;
this.processData(JSON.parse(payload));
this.updateDom();
}
},
/* processData(data)
* Uses the received data to set the various values.

if (!data) {
// Did not receive usable new data.
// Maybe this needs a better check?
return;
}
this.data = data;
this.loaded = true;
this.updateDom(this.config.animationSpeed);
}
});
and node_helper.js
'use strict';
const NodeHelper = require('node_helper');
var request = require('request');
module.exports = NodeHelper.create({
start: function() {
this.started = false;
this.config = null;
},
getData: function() {
var self = this;
var myUrl = this.config.fileUrl;
request({
url: myUrl,
method: 'GET',
}, function (error, response, body) {
if (!error && response.statusCode == 200) {
self.sendSocketNotification("DATA", body);
}
});
setTimeout(function() { self.getData(); }, this.config.refreshInterval);
},
socketNotificationReceived: function(notification, payload) {
var self = this;
if (notification === 'CONFIG' && self.started == false) {
self.config = payload;
self.sendSocketNotification("STARTED", true);
self.getData();
self.started = true;
}
}
});
Is there a module to display a list saved locally (or on dropbox)? A module to pull a .txt file or .json?
I am using this for a shopping list using any.do, I was using todoist but wanted more than one list displayed (and synced with amazon alexa).
I tried mmm-backlog from https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/1949/display-values-from-a-json-file-hosted-online/2 but could not get it to work properly for my needs.
Did you ever get this going? If so please share how. I could not with html…
I too have a text file, a grocery list from any.do that I want to display.
I was using todoist with this but want to display more than one list.
@Mykle1
Thanks, I was looking there, but now I see the “Source code (zip)” link! I just replaced the calendar module and now it is back to the way I want it.
