Ah ok, i dont think the user with the screenshot i posted above is paying 40 dollars a month to show 5 icons in a line in the dashboard, this has more to do with CSS rather than the config within the module itself

@swvalenti
Did’nt know there is a paid module… what module is paid… can you please enlighten, i dont mind paying.

@swvalenti
Thanks for your replies, which module are you talking about? Weather Module? I dont see any other option within weathers module to add more icon’s per line. Checked their github page… or is it another module of the MM?

A lot of you have great looking dashboards, I love your dedication in how you set them up. I have been able to create my MM dashboard and add few modules, there are a few things i have no clue about how to go about it.
Here in one of the dashboard a user had posted, has more days/icons in his weather dashboard, the default is 3 icons per line, thats what i have. I presume you are able to resize your module and add more items per line.

Example see below.

You see how the user has 5 days worth if icons on his dashboard in the weather module, and all the other modules the items displayed are much better organized.
The default modules i have has only 3 icons, and are larger size fonts and icons etc.

How can i achieve similar results as above?

@sdetweil Thank you. I have Home Assistant in place, the only gripe is that I wont have enough space between the mm frame and the outlet to shove another smart outlet. I guess i will need to replace the single gang smart outlet.

@bkeyport said in Auto power on and off:

If you wanna go down that path, there’s MMM-Remote-Control, too.

I was looking at the option of turning off the monitor instead the rpi.
I have the MMM-Remote-Control installed, but i dont see a way to turn off the monitor automatically, there’s an option to turn on and off the monitor and it works well, but how do i automate it?

@sdetweil
GOsh thanks that worked.
Any idea about the wallpaper part? I would like to inculcate flickr group, but the code snippet wont work.

Thank you for your help. I have successfully managed to add quite a bit of useful modules as per my requirements, and have added styling to the fonts etc.
However there are two things I am unable to get around.
First is the wallpaper module.
If i use the default bing option for the source, it wont show more than 10 wallpapers, i have tried to change the “maximumEntries” to 20 or more and it still wont show more than the original 10 wallpapers it loaded the first day (3 days back). Then i tried to change the source to Flickr groups, and it wont show anything now. Please have a look at my code snippet below.

                {
                        module: "MMM-Wallpaper",
                        position: "fullscreen_below",
                        config: { // See "Configuration options" for more information.
                        source: "flickr-group:113291043@N05",
                        maximumEntries: "20",
                        slideInterval: 60 * 1000 // Change slides every minute
                                }
                }, 

The second item is, i am not able to increase the calendar items, right now it only shows me 5 or 6 items, i am trying to increase it to 10 and it still show the default items.
see below.

                {
                        module: "calendar",
                        header: "Holidays & Reminders",
                        position: "top_left",
                        maximumEntries: "20",
                        config: {
                                calendars: [
                                        {
                                                symbol: "calendar-check",
                                                url: "webcal://www.calendarlabs.com/ical-calendar/ics/76/US_Holidays.ics",
                                                maximumEntries: 20,
                                        },
                                        {
                                                symbol: "calendar-check",
                                                url: "https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/lxxxxxxxxx.ics",
                                                maximumEntries: 20
                                        }
                                ]
                        }
                },
