    • RE: {HowTo} turn on/off your monitor (Time based, PIR/Button, App)

      @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

    • RE: {HowTo} turn on/off your monitor (Time based, PIR/Button, App)

      @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

    • RE: {HowTo} turn on/off your monitor (Time based, PIR/Button, App)

      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

    • RE: MMM-GoogleCalendar stopped working "INVALID_GRANT"

      @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'}],

    • RE: MMM-Growatt

      @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?

    • MMM-GoogleCalendar stopped working "INVALID_GRANT"

      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

    • RE: MMM-Growatt

      @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

    • RE: MMM-Growatt

      @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

    • RE: MMM-Growatt

      @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
