Hello,
I have a question for @mumblebaj.
Kindly, is there a way to login with API key instead username+password method?
I read that now API key doesn’t have the classic method’s frequency update limitations.
It could be more useful to have “nearly live data” energy production.

Another question, less important, is there a way to hide the grid from the “table” view?
It’s not so important, I just like compact and minimal styles, when informations are more important than design itself.
Thanks a lot

@KristjanESPERANTO
Nice!
Thank you

@sdetweil I know the elements abbreviations.
I was just thinking if there was a way to “cycle all elements” instead of writing 110/120 elements inside the config

@sdetweil Yeah, I will do that, I just wanna say it worked.

Another detail, default configuration has this line:

elements: [“H”, “He”, “Li”, “C”, “N”, “O”, “Ne”, “Na”, “Fe”, “Cu”, “Ag”, “Xe”],

what should I write inside the [] parenthesis to cycle through all the elements?

@kristjanesperanto thanks for your answer.
I solved like @sdetweil said, simply changing the order inside AtomVisualizer config and it worked.
Usually my rule is to never modify items inside modules folders so I though there was a way to set it from the config.js like other modules but might be I didn’t understand it, that’s why I asked here :)
It’s a nice module, I like it!
Thanks again for your support guys.

@sdetweil Ok, in the past I think I set up the system in Italian.
So I’ll try to switch the order and, eventually, I’ll switch the language. Thanks

Hello @kristjanesperanto, I saw you are AtomVisualizer module’s developer.
Kindly, I need to ask where do I have to go to select the language.
I saw something about “getTranslation” inside MMM-AtomVisualizer.js but I didn’t understand where do I have to act to have an EN translation.
Thanks in advance, I’m sure I am the problem but I’m not very skilled on these configurations.
In the config option parameter I don’t see anything about language.
Thanks again

@sdetweil
Today I notice something.
I had to turning off my router for a while, so no internet connection were available for nearly 10 minutes.
In that time MM goes black with cursor…
so the issue could be internet connection related

@sdetweil
I tried with another sd (brand new) and keep happen so I don’t think it is hardware related.
Yes it turn off during night and it restart in the morning, this could affect the sd but I tried with a brand new one.
Yes, back it up often, thanks to your script :)

I use the mmFetchTimeout=40000 before npm start but it happen.

I think the solution could be to insert after the npm start a:
sleep 30
(a command that CTRL+R the page)

If a command like this exist

Re: Performances on Pi 3A+

Hello, I have this issue from the past.
In these months I tried a lot of things but I didn’t solve it.
I know it’s not hardware related, so I don’t know where to “bang my head”.
Raspberry is set up to start itself at 7:30.
The issue is: some days, not everydays, when it start raspberry reach the desktop but when MM is loaded the screen remain black with a white cursor in the middle.
In these months I temporary solved it in two ways:
1- refresh the page with a simple CTRL+R. It need a keyboard connected but it work flawlessly and istantly.
2- sending a “pm2 restart mm” through terminal
3- adding a delaying with export mmFetchTimeout=30000 seems helps a bit but it didn’t solve it totally

Ok, it’s not a great issue but I like to make my things working without issues :)

Do you have any advices?
Honestly, I’m a little bit ignorant but to me it could be related to electron because with a simple CTRL+R it shows everything, so (to me) it seem MM is loaded correctly but electron decide to show a black screen with cursor instead of MM modules.
Do I need to maybe update electron?
I prefer not to update raspberry frequently, if it works.

Is there a way to add a CTRL+R command after a delay of 10 seconds inside the mm.sh?
I think that could solve it easily.
Thanks

@alexa123

They suggested you the best option,
but these are way powerful for what you really need for running a MM.
Clearly, more powerful=better
But on my experience I run a simple instance of MM on a Raspberry 3 A+, daily.
For simple instance I mean these modules: basic clock, CalendarEXT3, basic calendar, MM-Formula1 and a module for monitor the solar panel energy production.
So you don’t need very powerful machines, in my opinion.
The best advice is, as sdtweil said, USE a Raspberry power supply
NOT a simple charger

@sdetweil it could be. It’s a good card but it could have reached her lifespan. I’ll give it a try, thanks

@sdetweil it’s strange… because I have some modules active

standard Calendar
MMM-CalendarEXT3
standard weather
MMM-Formula1
MMM-Growatt

is it an issue? Everythings seems ok except for startup (sometimes)

@sdetweil

it’s running

Hello,
I’m here to asking an help.

In the past I’ve set up an MM and it works good.
I started using a PI 3A+ with 512mb of ram, after some months and some performance issues I switched it to a pi 3B+ with 1GB of ram.

Honestly performance’s issues were not ram related, because the command “free” told me I have a lot of free mem but I switched anyway for “science purpose”

Anyway, on pi 3B+ it worked better.

After some months I decided to turn it back on a 3A+ for some reasons.
The 3B+ with a lot of ports is wasted on that project, 3A+ should be enuough and I’m right but some little problems appeared again.

Tha major problem is at startup: sometimes it started with a black screen and cursor and I need to manually CTRL+R to make the interface show correctly.

It’s very strange, in my limited mind an issue like that is related to RAM but is not.

“Free” shows me a good amount of Free RAM.

Thanks

@sdetweil “compliments” ok.
when I’ll have some spare time, I’ll try.
Thank you

Hello,
I have an idea to show on my MM some weather or temperature based messages.
I’ll try to explain it well; where I live, especially during summer, temperature could change a lot from a day to another, like 12/18 degreees.
I wanna display a message for the home guests who say, for example:
“NO AC needed”
when temperature is under X degrees for the day
“AC allowed”
when T is more than X degrees

Is there a way to do it?
Thanks

@sdetweil Did it. Hope it solve my issue. Thanks

@mumblebaj
My module is working right now and I read you suggest to not upgrade it if it’s working but I’m interested about the “connection retry” function because sometimes (very rare) it stay still on a previous lecture.
Like half an hour ago or more
