@fox That is the standard News Feed module. The larger font is the RSS feed title, and the smaller font is the description.

I also implemented the maxNewsItems solution.

It keeps really old content from sticking around (I was seeing feeds from over a month old) but it favors one of the three feeds I have added in now, only displaying items from that feed and ignoring the rest.

It would be cool to see an update where it pulls one item from every feed added before adding a second item from the same feed.

i.e. Feeds 1, 2 & 3 - pulls one from feed 1, then one from feed 2, then one from feed 3, then another from feed 1, another from feed 2, etc.

FWIW, a ferrite bead is a working solution, but I was able to circumvent this issue by keeping the PIR Sensor a good distance from the Pi. Mine is about 3 feet away from the Pi and doesn’t act erratically as it did when it was right next to it during testing.

I have an issue where topics from an RSS feed well over a month old are still populating. Is there a way to have it reject items that are XX days old?

Agreed, I think altering the delay on the sensor would fix the issue.

That being said, the microwave radar sensor sounds awesome! I’d like to see it in action as well.

@bibi Yes! Here is the post I submitted around the new module. Remember that you still need the MMM-PIR-Sensor module by paviro installed for this to work.

Thanks for the kudos!

Here is an updated module that fixed the referenced PIR Sensor issue:

https://github.com/phrazelle/mm-pir-hide-all

This is a modification of the MM-Hide-All module (https://github.com/masters1222/mm-hide-all) by masters1222. It requires the MMM-PIR-Sensor module (https://github.com/paviro/MMM-PIR-Sensor) by paviro to be installed as well, as the hiding/unhiding is triggered by the “USER_PRESENCE” notification sent.

This was created by Josh Mclaughlin to circumvent an issue with the MMM-PIR-Sensor module where a TV doesn’t have power saving settings and killing the HDMI signal from the RPi forces the TV to shut off automatically.

This essentially brings up a black box to cover the screen after a set amount of time that disappears upon a USER_PRESENCE notification from the MMM-PIR-Sensor module.

Ok, I asked a friend write some code to make this work and he did a great job!

Here is a link to the forked GitHub repo. I will add it to the Showcase section as well.

I have an issue running the MM-PIR-Sensor module by paviro. My tv doesn’t have power saving settings, so when the HDMI signal is killed it shows a “No Signal” message, then turns the tv off.

I like the functionality of the mm-hide-all module by masters1222, but I would like to use that with the PIR sensor instead of a physical button press.

This seems like a simple mashup of the two modules in my head, but I’m not versed enough in JS to make that a reality.

Would someone be interested in combining the two modules so that the mm-hide-all module works as-is, but with the PIR Sensor state making the change instead of a physical button press?
