MMM-ModuleScheduler - Module Schedules and Notifications

Thank you both, it works with paviro’s MMM-FacialRecognition module.

Okay I have another curve ball for you… how about … the ability to turn the mirror off and back on with this? :)

plumcraft

+1, would be great to add this feature :)

+1, be really nice if it not only just dimmed the running modules, but actually shut off the monitor.

cowboysdude

@dr4ke616 Well you could actually do it with a straight cronjob … something like this…

55 6 * * * /home/pi/monitor_on.sh

And off the same way :) It’s like making your own schedule…

@cowboysdude thanks for pointing that out. Thats a better idea I didn’t think of :)

@cowboysdude said in MMM-ModuleScheduler:

So I’m thinking there are a number of approaches here.

One approach might be to add a mechanism to schedule the sending of notifications e.g
notification_schedule: [{cronTime: '0 22 * * *', notification: 'MONITOR_OFF'}, {cronTime: '0 9 * * *', notification: 'MONITOR_ON'}]

Another module could then be built (or may already exist) to listen to the notifications and react accordingly, e.g. control the monitor.

What do you think?

Right now I’m doing it with crontab… my schedule is complex hahahah

BUT you have a great idea there, That sir would work perfectly!!!

Yes that would work… currently people are doing it with either the camera or PIR sensor but for those who have neither this would be a great replacement!

My schedule works like this:

On at 7 am
Off at 9 am
On at 5 pm
Off at 11 pm

However, this will change because I only want that to happen M-F on Sat and Sun I want it differently…

On top of using the scheduler to show different things throughout those times… I gotta tell you how much I really like this module! :)

I can’t get the dimLevel to work on the clock. I have the following config:

{
 module: "clock",
 position: "top_left",
 classes: "scheduler",
 config: {
  module_schedule: [
   {from: "00 06 * * *", to: "30 09 * * *", dimLevel: "50"},
   {from: "00 16 * * *", to: "30 22 * * *", dimLevel: "50"}
  ]
 }
},

When the time reaches “to” the clock just disappears rather than being dimmed.

What am I doing wrong? (I am running the latest version of the module)

@Alvinger

Try this instead:

{from: '0 06 * * * ', to: '30 09 * * * ', dimLevel: ‘50’},
{from: '0 16 * * * ', to: '30 22 * * * ', dimLevel: ‘50’}
