    • RE: Use local data from weatherstation

      Yes, I attempted installed to install the ‘stable’ version and it did not automatically select the gateway port number. I will attempt to install the ‘beta’ version tonight.

      Thanks for the help.
      BTW, I ran Wireshark last night and found the port number, at least for the GW3000, it is 53374. I would never have guessed it.

    • RE: Use local data from weatherstation

      jose1701; I’m very interested in how you got the FOSKplugin to work. I just purchased a Ecowitt WS90 weather station and their GW3000 gateway. When I started the plugin it ran through a setup script and there were a few items that I had no idea what the answer was. The biggest on was the port the gateway is working on. I have seen nothing on that in the documentation. Do you know where I can find the port number? Some of the other things I can play with but the port number I have no idea.

      I appreciate you help,
      Ron R

    • RE: MMM-RAIN-MAP covers part of the module above it

      Sam, thanks for the info on the developers window. I’ve looked at it briefly for a couple other issues but had not thought about it for this. I’ll give it a look. The only problem with it is that I need a microscope to read anything.

      Thanks

    • MMM-RAIN-MAP covers part of the module above it

      I’m trying to position MMM-RAIN-MAP so it does not cover part of the module above it. I have tried 3 suggested custom.css entries with no help.

      .MMM-RAIN-MAP {
        margin-top: 20px; /* Move down by 20px */
        /* or */
        top: 20px; /* If positioned relatively or absolutely */
      }
      
      .MMM-RAIN-MAP {
        position: relative;
        top: 20px; /* Moves the map down by 20px */
      }
      

      They do not seem to have any affect on the position. When I start mm MMM-RAIN-MAP seems to be lower on the screen and then it jumps up to cover the bottom part of the calendar module above it.

      What else can I try to get it to position where I want it?

      TIA, Ron R

    • RE: DHT22 with Debian 12 Bookworm

      There are at least four modules on the list dealing with the DHT-22. J0n4e
      MMM-DHT22, ckoutavas MMM-DHT, cslev MMM-loldht22. Just do a search for dht and they will pop up.

      Good luck

    • RE: installing MagicMirror on my Raspberry Pi 0 w2

      I’m not sure you will be able to do that easily. I’m trying to get a browser to load on a PI zero 2 W because Firefox and Chrome take up too much room to fit in the tiny 512MB Ram. Even running ssh and not using the GUI it is taking close to an hour to install Midori but that may be their server because other things have worked much faster.

      Good Luck with your project.

    • RE: MMM-BackgroundSlideShow cutting off top of pics

      @msimon360 To pull the window in from the sides I grabbed the right edge of the window and dragged it to the left. The pictures started to change from the wide format to their original dimensions. I was setting it up to run all day with family on Thanksgiving and that was not a viable solution for each frame.

      So I changed to MMM-ImagesPhotos. Had a problem with it to start with where it did not display anything. I am running it is ‘fullscreen-under’ it presents smaller format pictures in their actual size instead of enlarging them to full screen and cutting off heads. The problem with no pictures was when I set the path to the ‘uploads’ directory in config.js the system concatenated the string three times and could not find the path, I wonder why? :) I found that problem by going back into the logs to find the error in the module setup. I went back into config.js and deleted my entry for the path and left it with an empty string “”. Then all my pictures popped up like they were supposed to.

      Yes, Sam, I had to manually go into the config.js because MMM-Config/configure would not reset it when I cleared the entry on the form.

      I am really happy with MMM-ImagesPhotos. I was going to suggest putting an option to display the file name on the picture but I got around it by annotating the pics with names for family that has not met those in the pics. It worked much better than depending on the file name.

    • RE: MMM-BackgroundSlideShow cutting off top of pics

      Discovered that if I pulled the window in from the side it would change the size of the picture back to it’s original size and things looked normal. It’s not a good fix but it makes the pictures look much better.

    • RE: Module updates question

      Ran git checkout on the one file listed in the error, “module_installer/install_module.cmd”. Results below. Then ran git pull again and it said everything was up to date.

      Thanks for your help.

      ron@ron-16-U:~/magicmirror/mounts/modules/MMM-Config/module_installer$ git checkout install_module.cmd
      Updated 1 path from the index
