@j.e.f.f @cowboysdude Just a quick heads-up: I have a very basic homebridge setup and while it works very well as intended, all it really does is provide a HomeKit interface for stuff that doesn’t have one. For automation or remote access, you’ll still need to have a spare iPad or an Apple TV.

As I do not, I’m actually in the process of trying to decide about setting up OpenHAB or Home Assisstant, which act more as a stand-alone hub for getting smart home stuff to play together. Both will also work with nearly any smart thermostat out there.

I have two nests, and tbh I can’t fully recommend them. My friend LOVES her Ecobee— take a look at those.

@Cupola

Not a dumb question, don’t worry! Oauth2 can be super confusing, and everyone does it a little differently which is… frustrating at best.

The Access Token you need is the 3rd one, what they refer to as your Test Token on the page. (The idea behind this is that with OA2, each would-be client has to use its ID and Secret to ask for specific account access for each account it wants to see. They basically did that process for you once, for testing or personal things like this that only need your account.)

You don’t need to worry about the OAuth redirect URL or the App Service URL. I have each filled with http://127.0.0.1 but I don’t think either are required at all.

Hopefully this gets you up and running!

@onetwankyfive Quick update:
I basically took your advice to use crazy negative CSS margins and it worked beautifully! I’m not actually sure how to address only one instance of a Thing in CSS so what I ended up doing was to clone the module into Nest2, and then used the CSS to bump that up next to the original. Sadly the headers don’t display leading spaces so I can’t really fix the alignment of the second instance but beyond that it looks pretty great!

Not sure if anyone else wanted to do this and wasn’t sure how, but in case there is someone: The duplicated Nest2 module can be found linked above. I’ll try my best to keep it up-to-date with the original, but in case I haven’t gotten to it yet it should be easy to do yourself – all I did was add a 2 next to every instance of the word Nest. Then I just added the following to Nest2.css, but you can even just add it to your custom CSS:

.MMM-Nest2 {
  margin-top: -211px;
  margin-bottom: 65px;
  margin-left: 220px;
}

That theoretically should automatically line it up right? It looks a little janky when the MM app is loading but it all works out fine for me. It also is set to use a different font but I made sure to have it fall back on Roboto.

For anyone smarter/better at computer than me, if there’s a way to achieve this without a whole forked module, let me know! Simpler is better!

@dmcinnes Oh, okay — that makes a lot of sense! Glad to know it’s not just me missing something. I’ll take a look at the html and see what I can do, thanks for pointing that out for me.

I’m setting up a small screen displaying my currently scrobbling music, but as the Scrobbler module hides itself when nothing is playing, I thought it might be nice to show an image (my artist cloud generated by this wonderful tool for the curious). I have both modules working just fine separately, but it’d be dope if I could get the Scrobbler module to hide the Images Module when it wants to be active.

This seems like something I should be able to so with the Remote Control/ModuleScheduler/Profile Switcher modules, but I just can’t quite figure it out.

Hey quick question: how do I change the color of the precipitation graph? I’ve got a decent amount of custom CSS that’s working (including other things for this module) but for the life of me I cannot seem to change this one element?
Here’s what I’ve got going on for this module right now (more icon colors elsewhere, I gotta clean up the file!):

.MMM-forecast-io .summary {color: #aaa;}

.MMM-forecast-io .forecast-row .weathericon {color: #aaa}
.MMM-forecast-io .wi-night-alt-cloudy {color: #1a659e}
.MMM-forecast-io .wi-volcano {color: #8c2f39}

.MMM-forecast-io .precipitation-graph {color: #1a659e;}

.small.MMM-forecast-io .forecast {
  margin-right: 0px;
  margin-left: auto;
}
.small.MMM-forecast-io .summary {
  text-align: right;
}

I’m absolutely positive I’m missing something dumb here

So, I’m having a really unexpected bug, where this module somehow negates my custom CSS for the header color of all modules. No idea how/why, but when the page first loads, it’s fine, but as the last of the modules (including this one) load and are activated, the color suddenly snaps back to the default #aaa.

I know for certain it’s this module, since disabling it in the config fixed the header issue. I think this was introduced in the newest update, but I’m not 100% for-sure positive. I do know it started right around the most recent release date though.

@jasondreher
I use the MMM-htmlvideo module for it. Webm seems to work best for me as a format to reduce choppiness but even then it’s certainly not perfect. This module is great though!

@pyrosmiley said in Ghost Overlay / OMXPlayerTransparency:

@Reotch2 If you’re still shooting for this, I HIGHLY recommend using ffmpeg to convert the clip to .webm format, which was developed for web streaming video — it’s crazy efficient with file size and perfect for this type of thing. If you’ve never used ffmpeg before it can be daunting, but the gist of what you do is ‘’’ffmpeg -i .mp4 -o .webm’’’ and then let it do its thing. It may take some googling to get exactly the settings you want but a basic conversion should do pretty well for you.

Good luck!

Formatting got messed up on my phone but the ffmpeg command is ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -o output.webm

It should work just fine, I literally did it for my mirror today.
