@sdetweil So in your opinion my idea Home-Presence+RemoteControl+Scheduler could work?
Or should I have to throw it in the wastebin? :)

@sdetweil noticed another little problem. My phone is connected to wifi but the flag on Home-Presence turn off sometimes, especially when the screen is locked.
I tried to disable the “wifi private address option” on the phone and it seem working well but sometimes the flag goes off so I suppose that, after configuration, the monitor will turn on off itself a lot of times

@sdetweil Oh, thank you!
So you modify the module to send notification when it detect one or more presence?
I installed it and configure the notification “string”
Now I have a module that send a virtual notification “string” to other modules.
So now I’m toughing about install MMM-RemoteControl and MMM-ModuleScheduler.

When someone is at home ModuleScheduler will receive the “string” and it will send a command to RemoteControl for turning on the display.
And when no one is at home? ModuleSchedule won’t receive any notification so RemoteControl should exec the MONITOROFF commands.
I know it can’t work like this, maybe I’ve lost some steps in my mind.

I was also thinking about the electronics I’m using.
Mine is an LCD taken from a digital frame, connected to rasbperry through a lcd controller.
The controller turning off monitor itself when there isn’t hdmi signal for a while and it should stay in stand-by waiting for signal.
My doubts are:

• In your opinion, module will send command every 10 seconds, so is this could be a problem?
• Do you have experience if the “MONITORON” “MONITOROFF” commands acts as CEC commands or a simple “turning ON/OFF the raspberry’s video out”?
  Because if it work as CEC command… I think it will not work, in my case with an LCD controller

@sdetweil ok, I don’t think a newbie like me could do it but it was a good idea, if only Home-Presence had a notification option by default. Thanks

Hello, I know this is an old topic but I think it’s very interesting.

I have an idea but I’m a newbie to programming.
In my mind I was thinking about using one or more modules like these:

MMM-ModuleScheduler
MMM-Home-Presence
MMM-RemoteControl

to have a way to turning off the monitor when one member of the family is at home.

For “is at home” I mean when the phone is connected to wifi and the MMM-Home-Presence detect his presence.

Might be MMM-RemoteControl could communicate with MMM-Home-Presence and turn off/on the monitor?

What do you think about it?
Thanks

@sdetweil Ok, so I set your standard calendar module with google ics url; it should read google events and broadcast to CalendarExt3.
I hope I understand your message well.
Using ICS instead of OAuth my question is: does it update automatically or I have to manually update it?
Can I add more than one calendar? If you, which is the correct formattation?
Is the configuration under here correct?

            calendars: [
              {
            url: "ht****lendar.google.com/MYURLCALENDAR.ics",
            fetchInterval: 7 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000,
            fade: "false",
            name: "MYCALENDARNAME", // <= RECOMMENDED to assign name
            color: "blue", // <= RECOMMENDED to assign color
            customEvents: [{keyword: 'Birthday', symbol: 'birthday-cake', color: 'Gold'},{keyword: 'Dinner', symbol: ' pizza-slice', color: 'red'}],

@mumblebaj I fix it by myself, butI just though you were interested about the two errors for other people.
Anyway thank you for everything, exportedPower is not a problem but is there a way to just enhance charachter dimension?

After a week I got “INVALID_GRANT” does the token expire every 7 days because my app is in “testing”?
In fact my “app” in not an app, is just an authorization token for my calendar so my question is, if I publish the app, does my calendar datas could become public?
And how much time will be the OAuth token duration?
Eventually, which are your advice to another type of calendar?
Honestly I don’t wann become slave for the calendar authentication.
Thanks

@mumblebaj First of all, thak you again.
I might found 2 syntax errors:

    {
        module: "MMM-Growatt",
        position: "middle_center", //Works best at middle_center. May not display all that well in other positions
        disabled: false,
        config: {
            username: "username",
            password: "password",
            usServer: true, // only used by US Registered users
            debug: false, // set to true if you want to create a debug log
            mode: "dual", // Specify 'dual' when running https://github.com/mumblebaj/MMM-Growatt.git and https://github.com/mumblebaj/MMM-Growatt-Stats.git together else specify 'single'
            view: "table", // Only add this if you want a minimalystic table view
            rowToDisplay: [ "loadPower", "batteryPower", "solar", "loadPower" ] //Remove items you do not want to display on the table. Table will be ordered in the same order as items appear in the list. Not required of view is not table
            updateInterval: 1000*60*30 //Update every 30 minutes
            
                    }

},

inside the rowToDisplay line, after the closing square comma, a comma is missing
and between the two square commas there are two “loadPower” so I wrote"gridPower" instead and seems working but in that moment solar power is higher than load so I don’t have any valor in it.

Two question: can I enhance the charachters dimension?
can I add “exportedPower” to it?

Thanks

@mumblebaj Thank you, I put the star
Now I’m trying to installing it but I have the dekinet’s one and the folder has same name of yours.
Do I have to uninstall dekinets one or is there a way to try your module without uninstall the other one?
Thanks

@mumblebaj Nice!
Can I configure it to delete some infos like, for example, battery power and coal saved?
Just to make it smaller?
And maybe can I change the information order?
Only if I can make the changes by config, I don’t wanna bother your for my needs.
Thank you

@mumblebaj I tried Dekinets’s one but it doesn’t work. login issues, screen stay without infos.
[LOG] Error: The server sent an unexpected response: /error.do?errorMess=errorNoLogin

He told me to try an API update and I’ll do it when I have 1 minute

In the past I tried your module and it worked, but I need a simple visualization and honestly I don’t wanna bother you for a new build.

Thank you a lot

@mumblebaj Hello, can I ask you if there is a way to change module appearance?
I like your graphics but I need to run it on a small display, so I wanna ask you if there is a way to have a simplified text+number visualization or if I can get rid of battery power, because I don’t own it.
Your other module “MMM- GrowattStats” could be good for me, but only if I can get rid of “charged” and “discharged” icons.
A sort of Triangle with “solar” “imported” “load” will be perfect for me.
Thank you a lot for your nice work

@Snille I’ve logged in just to say… you are incredible!
That’s a very very great example of what a MM can do.
It’s just up to our minds!
Incredible, really.
I’m really interested about the IR touch system, I think I’m not enough professional to set it up but it’ really interesting.
I hope to have enough time in the future to learn/make one of this.
Thank you so much to have explain your project so well at the community

@sdetweil after some tries, this afternoon, ext3 started showing.
But honestly I didn’t install the clipping flix so I did it now

Hello,
I’m trying to configure MMM-CalendarExt3 with MMM-GoogleCalendar.
I tried a lot of config.js configuration but everytime the module appear I see an “undefined” message.

Standard calendar show google events, and MMM-GoogleCalendar show google events too.
So the Google configuration part should be ok.

npm run config:check tells me it’s ok

Could it be an installation problem?
I tried “npm run install” and “git submodule update --init --recursive” inside the MMM-CalendarExt3 folder but they didn’t solve.
Thank you

@sdetweil and I really thank you for that.
Thanks to you even more people will try MM and appreciate your work.
On my side I’m there to learn something new.
It’ more challenging but it’s also more interesting so I’d prefer manual ways.
Thanks a lot for your help, I’ll really appreciate that

@sdetweil said in Question about backup script:

@nowayto also see my MMM-Config, it provides module install and all config

I give it a try some days ago, after your suggestion but I wanna learn the configuration first, rather than easier ways

I’ll read your CSS guide for sure

Perfect.
Your right but since I’m not a programmer so sometimes I have some stupid doubts.
I started with a simple idea and now in my mind I wanna make more than one MM, with differents setup but for now I need to learn the basics configuration, so I’m testing testing and testing more :)
Reinstall from 0 and test again :)

For example I hope it will be not to difficult to config css, I like the personalization it will offer but I’m scared about difficulties. But I’ll try for sure!

Thank you again

Hello,
I have a question about backup script.
In these days I’m trying to learn how to configure MM with some modules, after all these tries, I will do a fresh installation with no errors on configuration.

When I’ll arrive at that point, I’ll wanna backup MM entirely, so I see your script:

bash -c “$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror-backup-restore/main/mm_backup.sh)” with any parms

I don’t want a github private backup, I want just a local backup so does this script will backup every configuration on: $HOME/MM_backup ?
I assume I’ll just have to copy that folder away and keep it secure?

When I’ll need a restore I can start with an empty SD card, OS installation, MM installation script and then which of that 2 options?

1- copy the MM_backup folder in $HOME, install modules I need and run your restore script
(bash -c “$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror-backup-restore/main/mm_restore.sh)” with any parms)

2- copy the MM_backup folder in $HOME and just run the restore script

Thanks in advance
