@sifuhall So, other modules aren’t showing either?

Hello everybody! Does anybody know of any sort of module that will do a countdown timer that I’m hoping to use for being on-call. It’d show how long until I go on-call, then flip to how long until I’m not on-call and then back to how long until on-call again. Preferably calendar events but also could work with some sort of simple file import. If it helps, its a fairly regular schedule of on-call for one week out of 11 weeks in the rotation too.

@sifuhall You won’t get anything until the UK football team has a game, which won’t be for a few weeks. Until then, this module displays nothing.

@chanster No one knows of one?

@chanster I’m glad that it was! Hopefully it stays accurate for you too.

@chanster Do you mind me asking where you’re located? Using weather.gov as a weather provider with Celsius isn’t a standard thing (and much as I can imagine that the API handles C properly, it won’t shock me if it doesn’t).

@maricus85 I’m not familiar with this module at all but on that prompt from Google that you’re showing, there’s an advanced link. If you click on that, what options are you given?

@wenike Apparently, deleting that autostart file (or in my case, renaming it) caused it to be recreated and get the normal desktop back.

So, unclutter worked for me to hide the cursor but now I don’t have the normal RaspPi desktop and instead I’m in some Openbox thing. After some panic, I was able to figure out that I needed to right-click to bring up the menus (I use a Chromebook to VNC on and have a bluetooth keyboard/mouse combo that I use rarely if the Chromebook doesn’t work and the Chromebook has long-press to be right-click, which doesn’t translate very well outside of it). I’ve killed that autostart command and uninstalled unclutter (sudo apt-get --purge remove uncluter). How do I get it to stop going into Openbox and go back to using the desktop that I’m used to?

@cheapdad @Ray It looks like you’ve updated the default values in MMM-OpenWeatherForecast.js rather than putting them into the config section of your config.js? Its generally recommended not doing that because that makes it harder to update the module in the future (you have to save your copy of the file elsewhere, update the module and put your changes back and hope you didn’t break anything by putting your changes back).

In this case, being on the free tier with openweathermap shouldn’t cause issues, as they limit that to 60 calls/minute or 1,000,000 calls/month and you’re only going to hit around 44,640. Unless you’re using multiple modules hitting openweathermap, at which point you could be hitting issues.

Can you try deleting that MMM-OpenWeatherForecast.js file (or at least rename it to not be that name) and do a git pull in that folder, which should pull it down again. Put your changes in the config.js instead and see if that fixes your issues?
