Why
I have in the last year moved “slightly” off the grid, solar, gas stove and a gas geyser. I am able to monitor my solar production using my MMM-Growatt module but was unable to monitor my gas usage and have the ability to order a refill in time before the gas runs out.

I recently ordered a Mopeka Pro Check Sensor from Amazon.com but it does not have an integrated API and only provides a Bluetooth connection to the app.

Solution
What I came up with was creating the MMM-GasMonitor module.

How it works

• You have to work out your average daily usage. Instructions included on how I achieved this on the module Github page.

• The module will starts off with 100% tank level (you can set this yourself to match your tank level in the input.txt file). At first run it takes the daily average and add’s it to the 100% giving you a starting point of, you know it, 100% :-)

• Based on the refresh rate, I run daily as I worked out my daily usage average, it will calculate the new level and display it along with adjusting the Level monitor and color accordingly.

Some more examples

I am open to integrate any API into the module if anybody has one that they would like integrated to monitor their own.

As I could not find one for the Mopeka Pro monitor I went the manual calc method.

Enjoy!!

@sdetweil Busy upgrading now. Will provide some feedback once done and MM is up and running. Will advise if my screen on and off stuff still work but may only be tomorrow sometime.

@sdetweil Hi Sam. I have always used npm. I have just been reading through the PR-3764 and i agree with your arguments in that it could have breaking affects for how we do things as both users and devs. Case in point.

However, the forum is about new things and moving forward, so I agree with @KristjanESPERANTO on that point of view as well.

I have now resolved my script issue and am now able to launch from the cron again. 😉

For somebody who may have the same issue, this is how I solved for it.

export DISPLAY=:0
cd ~/MagicMirror
npm run start:x11

The above has solved it for me now.

I have been looking for a module that displays latest movie releases etc and saw MMM-MovieListings from @Tueti which was last updated 7 years ago and not working. I decided to revive this module and pull it into the here and now.

Updates to original Module:
Original module can be found here.

I have submitted a PR but do not know if the owner will accept as the module was last updated 7 years ago.

Hi Folks.

I created what some would call, YET Another Word of the Day module. :-)

The module has an option to either get Spanish or Portuguese Word of the Day. Other languages can possibly be added at a later stage on request and if I can find a page out there for it.

I am stuck between just showing the single selected language for now and maybe building a table to display multiple language WOTD with examples. I am open to suggestions on this. (Please raise them on github)

Check out the github page for it.

Enjoy!!

Updates:
V1.1.0

• Updated module to pull information from new elements as the sites used has changed.

• Do git pull && npm install in the module folder.

I have been using the MMM-OpeningHours module for a few years now and it has always been working great and probably still works for all users of the modules by @Menturan . Thanks for an awesome module.

Google has replaced the library @google/maps with a newer library @googlemaps/google-maps-services-js. I must mention that the old library still works.

I have updated the module to use the latest library from google and have refactored the node_helper.js code a bit. I have also update the package.json and the README and have opened a PR. As the module has been last updated about 3 years ago I am not sure if it is still maintained.

If anybody want to switch to the newer version you are welcome to use my fork. I just love this module as I can track all my fav places.

You can find the fork here: MMM-OpeningHours

@mumblebaj After the upgrade I got presented with a screen asking me to Keep Wayfire or Switch to Labwc. I elected to switch to labwc. I have opted to switch to labwc.

Warning to others: this has reset my screen orientation and resolution. Easy fix for me but others may have a problem.

What I have noticed, when upgrading, around 99% mark, it asked a bunch of questions around keeping labc configs or install the vendor ones, I elected Y to install the vendor ones for those and I have noticed that my MM splash screen at startup has been replaced by the Raspi one. Not an issue for me but for anybody else who may want to keep theirs say no to those questions.

Started the MM and it is running. Now, just to test my Screen On and Off scripta later this evening and tomorrow morning to see if they still work as is. Will update but it looks fine thus far.

UPDATES

V1.1.0

• Fixed issue with cast list appending cast members from different movies to the same list. Now only cast members of the displayed movie is displayed.
• Update and simplify the API calls to reduce the number of calls.

@uros76 Looks very nice and clean. Like the “no wires” idea. Well done.

@plainbroke You can target the selectors specifically in your custom.css like this:

#wotd-we {
  color: orange;
  font-size: 50px;
}
