MMM-WeeklySchedule

This a module for the MagicMirror. It displays today's timetable from a weekly recurring schedule. It is intended for regular weekly schedules, which have a low update frequency and thus can be maintained manually. Examples are:

  • kid’s school classes
  • student lectures
  • teacher’s teaching schedule
  • gym training classes
  • household chores
  • opening hours of bakery, post office, supermarket

Preview

Installation

  1. Navigate into your MagicMirror's modules folder.
  2. Execute git clone https://github.com/pinsdorf/MMM-WeeklySchedule.git. A new folder will appear.
  3. Navigate into folder MMM-WeeklySchedule.
  4. Execute npm install to install the node dependencies.

Config

The entry in config.js can include the following options:

Option Description
schedule Defines the data the module shows. It consists of a definition for timeslots and lessons. See below.
updateInterval How often the content is updated.
Default value: 1 • 60 • 60 • 1000 // every 1 hour
showWeekdayinHeader Appends the module headertext with weekday name, e.g., on Monday
Default value: true
showNextDayAfter From this time of the day on the module shows the schedule of the next day. This is helpful when, e.g., a school day is over and you want to show what is up tomorrow. If you don't like this set the value to 23:59 or undefined.
Default value: 16:00
allowHTML Whether timeslot and lesson texts can contain HTML. Can for example be used to color certain lessons.
Default value: false

Below is an example of an configuration entry in config.js. Make sure that the days of week (mon, tue, wed, ...) are all lower case. The timeslots arrays shall have at least the same length as the longest array in lessons.*. In other words, make sure each lesson entry has a timeslot value.

If you want to show no entry at a particular time simply put an empty string as in the example below (cf. first entry for tue and sun). You can omit one or many weekdays (cf. entry for sat). On days without lessons the module shows the text no lessons.

{
    module: "MMM-WeeklySchedule",
    position: "top_left",
    header: "Hermione's classes",
    config: {
        schedule: {
            timeslots: [ "8:00", "10:00", "12:00", "14:00", "16:00" ],
            lessons: {
                mon: [ "Potions", "Defense against the Dark Arts", "Lunch Break", "Transfiguration" ],  
                tue: [ "", "Astronomy", "Lunch Break", "Charms", "History of Magic" ],
                wed: [ "Arithmancy", "Divination", "Lunch Break", "Muggle Studies", "Herbology" ],
                thu: [ "Care of Magical Creatures", "Care of Magical Creatures", "Lunch Break", "Transfiguration", "Charms" ],
                fri: [ "Potions", "Herbology", "Lunch Break", "Charms", "Defense against the Dark Arts" ],
                // no entries for saturday
                sun: [ "", "Quidditch Match", "Sunday Lunch" ]   // short day on sundays
            }
        },
        updateInterval: 1 * 60 * 60 * 1000, // every hour
        showNextDayAfter: "16:00"
    }
},

The values in the timeslots array don't need to be a time. It is merely an arbitrary string. This allows to use the module also to announce shared workload like household chores. The screenshot below shows an example.

And here is the configuaration for this example.

{
    module: "MMM-WeeklySchedule",
    position: "top_left",
    header: "Household chores",
    config: {
            schedule: {
                    timeslots: [ "Feed the fish", "Set the table", "Take out the trash", "Hoover living room" ],
                    lessons: {
                            mon: [ "Bart",  "Marge", "Homer", "Lisa"  ],
                            tue: [ "Lisa",  "Bart",  "Marge", "Homer" ],
                            wed: [ "Homer", "Lisa",  "Bart",  "Marge" ],
                            thu: [ "Marge", "Homer", "Lisa",  "Bart"  ],
                            fri: [ "Bart",  "Marge", "Homer", "Lisa" ]
                    }
            },
            updateInterval: 1 * 60 * 60 * 1000, // every hour
            showNextDayAfter: undefined
    }
},

Use HTML markup in schedules

Setting allowHTML to true gives you the possibility to color texts, add images or include any HTML. Here's an example to add red text for reminders:

Configuration for the above example:

{
	module: "MMM-WeeklySchedule",
	position: "top_left",
	header: "Activity",
	config: {
		schedule: {
			timeslots: [ "Activity", "Remember" ],
			lessons: {
				mon: [ "Running", "<span style='color: #ff5000'>Charge GPS watch!</span>" ],
				tue: [ "Swimming", "" ],
				thu: [ "Cycling", "" ],
				sat: [ "Bowling", "<span style='color: #ff5000'>Bring bowling ball!</span>" ],
			}
		},
		updateInterval: 1 * 60 * 60 * 1000, // every hour
		showNextDayAfter: "21:00",
		allowHTML: true
	}
},

And another example using images:

Configuration for the above example:

{
	module: "MMM-WeeklySchedule",
	position: "top_left",
	header: "",
	config: {
		schedule: {
			timeslots: [ "Fruit of the day" ],
			lessons: {
				mon: [ "<img src='https://img.icons8.com/metro/35/ffffff/pear.png' />" ],
				tue: [ "<img src='https://img.icons8.com/metro/35/ffffff/citrus.png' />" ],
				wed: [ "<img src='https://img.icons8.com/metro/35/ffffff/kiwi.png' />" ],
				thu: [ "<img src='https://img.icons8.com/metro/35/ffffff/strawberry.png' />" ],
				fri: [ "<img src='https://img.icons8.com/metro/35/ffffff/apple.png' />" ],
				sat: [ "<img src='https://img.icons8.com/metro/35/ffffff/grapes.png' />" ],
				sun: [ "<img src='https://img.icons8.com/metro/35/ffffff/watermelon.png' />" ],
			}
		},
		updateInterval: 1 * 60 * 60 * 1000, // every hour
		showNextDayAfter: undefined,
		allowHTML: true
	}
},
