@Lipax said in UPDATE: Replaced my PIR-Sensor with a Doppler Microwave Sensor.:

hello,
i tried this with the microwave sensor, but im out of ideas. i get wrong positives every minute. (i check every 5 sec).
i added also the ferrite, tried another raspberry, different of these sensors (bought a 5 pack) and placed it in a different room. anyone got any ideas what else i could try?
or maybe similar microwave sensors i could try?

any help would be great, tyvm

Did you try and limit the range as described in beginning of this thread? For me option 2 helped to limit oversensitivity.

@Feedy88 it can be done easy by flipping the GPIO detection.
I use crontab with simple command. During the specified night time my MM does not turn on the screen. In morning the sensor starts to work again. If that’s what you are trying to achieve let me know and I can share details.

It really depends on pir sensor quality and it’s sensitivity setting. I tried several pir sensors and all of them produced too many false triggers.
At the end I switched to using a microwave sensor which never gives me false detection.

@boehmch thanks, this is helpful yes.

Great project 👍. Can you share more about the LCD board being used?

Which rPi are you using?

@cowboysdude ideally I would like to specify the date/time format, like on a stock MM Clock module.

Hi. Does anyone know of a way to format “LastPresence” output? Default is a full date and time in one line however I would like to change the format of the output. Don’t see any config option to format it…

@mumblebaj thats good to know. Thanks for the suggestion, I cloned the latest version and it works. I don’t see MMM-News mentioned in errors log anymore. Good work :call_me_hand:

@sdetweil sure thing. Will send you over. I still have your email address from some other thing you helped me with.

Hot damn, it works! Thanks @sdetweil for the suggestion to upgrade mm.
After upgrading to the latest version everything started to work as before.
Yor rock! :flexed_biceps:

@sdetweil I was on 2.15.0. Now applying your upgrade script from here .
Will report back how it goes

@sdetweil said in MMM-DailyPower:

pm2 logs

Thanks. I checked pm2 logs and found below repeating under errors.
Interestingly DailyPower module is not mentioned. MMM-News and currentweather modules still work despite being mentioned in errors.
The MMM-MarineWeather is another one that doesn’t work and it is mentioned in errors.

I have no clue why all a sudden two modules stopped working. Did something change on mm core?

Hi. This module worked fine but it stopped updating for me today.
Did something change at the source or maybe something else that broke it down?

I just tried direct fetch with web browser and I get positive response: https://dailypower.oemel09.de/api/v1/verses/2021-11-08?lang=web

Not sure what’s wrong. Ideas?

Edit: I tried this module on my second magicmirror install and it’s the same. The module keeps giving me “Loading …” and that’s it :(

@ankonaskiff17 this looks awesome! Do you have link to case, where to buy?

@sdmydbr9 perhaps off-topic, perhaps an idea. I have homeassistant which does thse kind of announcememnts daily. It’s connected with my alexa (works also with google). I know it’s not related to MM but still, it works without the need for much coding and it’s quite modular for controlling various elements of my home

@jalibu he he yeah! I love it and use it on all of my MM projects :heart_suit:

After good success with my previous MM projects, I decided to give it a try with a smaller format of MM.
In fact, I got this idea from my brother who wanted a small screen for his work desk with various live information displayed on it.

He also wanted to edit the list of stocks for MMM-Jast module without messing up the base config file. This proved to be a challenge that I solved with python script. Basically, I gave him samba shared access to an additional text file which includes editable list of displayed stocks. Then I run a python script to merge two files (stocks list and config template) into one working config file.
I tried to solve this with MMM-Config module (thanks to the developer for helping me get it to work) but that one exposes too many settings, it would pose a risk that my brother would mess it up :slightly_smiling_face:.

Overall I am happy with this project and it looks great with a painted front finish. It will be hard to give it away, kind of like it and want to keep it for myself :smirking_face:.

Parts used:

• Rpi 3 B+ with 3A power supply
• Waveshare 4.3" touch screen
• 3D printed case from existing thingverse design
• Power switch
• Black spray paint and few plastic parts to hold the screen in place

Modules used:

• clock, calendar, newsfeed, weather
• MMM-Jast, MMM-Carousel, MMM-EasyPix, MMM-AirQuality, MMM-SystemStats, MMM-News

Finished project:

@sdetweil it works! Mega quick assistance. Tnx

@sdetweil ok will send you now…
