New "Time-based schedule" section on the Rotation settings page: up to
4 rules, each a screen + a daily HH:MM-HH:MM window (crossing midnight
is fine, e.g. 22:00-02:00). While a rule's window is active, that
screen overrides rotation and any manual pin -- without touching
either's underlying state, so things go back to exactly how they were
once the window ends. Navidrome-playing still wins on top of a
schedule rule, same as it already does over everything else.
config.py: new schedules list (get_schedules/set_schedules), each rule
just {screen_id, start, end} -- being in the list *is* being enabled,
no separate flag (a settings row is "disabled" by leaving its screen
dropdown on "-- none --").
scheduler.py: _time_in_window() handles same-day and midnight-wrapping
windows, treats a zero-width window as never-matching (more likely a
blank settings row than an intentional all-day rule).
_active_scheduled_screen() slots into _select_screen() between
Navidrome-priority and the pin/rotation fallback.
Verified: unit tests for _time_in_window's edge cases (wraparound,
zero-width, malformed input) and the priority override, plus an
end-to-end run against the real app -- pinned a screen, added a rule
active right now, confirmed the status page switched to the scheduled
screen within one tick.
Refresh now / Resume automatic were mixed into the same button row as
the per-screen Show X buttons, in whatever order screens happened to
be registered in -- looked cluttered. Now two rows: system actions
first, then the Show X buttons alphabetized by display name.
Not needed any more -- the Journey screen already covers the same
regional-transit need via EFA backends, and Departures depended on
the free db-vendo-client API that DB has been actively blocking third
parties from anyway.
Removed screens/departures.py, its settings template, its route, its
registration in screens/__init__.py, and its nav link. Reworded the
docstring/hint references in journey.py and settings_journey.html
that pointed at the now-gone screen. Existing config.json entries
referencing "departures" (rotation list, pinned screen) are harmless
leftovers -- both scheduler lookups already filter to screens that
still exist, so nothing needs a migration step.
Verified: app boots clean, /settings/departures 404s, every other
settings page still loads fine, no leftover references outside of
journey.py's own unrelated "departure time" wording.
Previously check() re-fetched the configured image URL over HTTP on
every poll (every 30 min by default). If the remote image ever came
back even slightly byte-different between fetches -- common with
dynamically-generated images -- that forced a real e-ink flash for no
visible reason, since this panel has no partial refresh.
Now the URL is downloaded exactly once, server-side in the settings
route, and saved into web/static/uploads/current.<ext> the same way a
direct upload already was -- clearing any previous upload/download
first so switching sources doesn't accumulate orphaned files.
check() just reads that local file regardless of whether it came from
an upload or a URL, with zero network calls. Also added a browser
User-Agent to the download request -- confirmed live that Wikimedia
(plausibly a common source people would link to) 403s the default
requests/python User-Agent as bot traffic, same class of issue as the
EFA transit endpoints handled earlier.
Verified end-to-end against real URLs: download+cache works, a second
URL replaces rather than accumulates, and a settings-only save (no
new URL entered) no longer wipes the cached picture.
- forecast_days now defaults to 5 (was 3) across default_settings(),
check()'s fallback, and the settings form's pre-selected option.
- New show_date setting (on by default): weekday + date in the same
"Samstag, 25. Juli" format Clock already used. Combined with the
city name into one header line above the icon/temp block when both
are on ("Münster · Samstag, 25. Juli"), each independently
toggleable.
- Moved the weekday/month name lists and the "Weekday, D. Month"
formatting out of clock.py into render_utils.format_date_de(), so
Weather reuses the exact same formatting instead of a second copy
that could drift.
Just the city itself (first segment of the geocode label), not the
full "City, State, Country" string -- too cluttered for a dashboard
header. Off by default for manually-entered coordinates since there's
no resolved place name to show there regardless of the toggle.
New show_city setting, on by default, alongside the other display
toggles in Weather settings.
chance, and an hourly temperature graph
- Current conditions block redone horizontally (icon left, big temp
+ description + an extras line on the right) instead of stacked
vertically.
- New extras line: "feels like" (apparent_temperature), today's
high/low, and rain chance (precipitation_probability_max) -- each
independently toggleable in settings, all on by default. Switched
from the legacy current_weather=true param to Open-Meteo's current=
param, since that's what exposes apparent_temperature; confirmed
field names/formats live before wiring them in.
- New hourly-today temperature graph (also toggleable): a polyline
across today's 24 hourly points, min/max temps labeled at their
points, a red dot marking the current hour, and hour labels along
the bottom.
- When both the graph and the daily forecast strip are shown, they
split the remaining vertical space; either can be toggled off to
give the other more room, matching how forecast_days already
worked.
- connection_type setting (all/regional/long_distance) restricts EFA
trip requests via inclMOT_N params, so ICE/IC/EC can be filtered out
for commutes that only care about regional/local transit.
- Surface leg.infos[].infoLinks titles (real disruption/outage notices
from EFA) on each journey row, marked with a red warning icon.
New screens/journey.py, ported and simplified from github.com/EiS94/db_info
(a Home Assistant integration). Deliberately uses only the regional EFA
(Elektronische Fahrplanauskunft) backends the reference project queries
(VRR prioritized for NRW routes, falling back to Bavaria/BW instances) and
drops its bahn.de-internal-API source entirely -- that's DB's own
infrastructure, exactly the kind of thing DB has been actively blocking
(see the Departures screen). EFA instances are run by regional transit
authorities, not DB, so they aren't part of that clampdown. Also dropped
the reference project's parallel async fetch-and-score-all-sources
machinery for simple sequential fallback, matching this project's fully
synchronous style.
Verified against live VRR data for a real NRW route (Münster -> Dortmund):
real trains, platforms, transfer counts, even a night bus connection.
Caught a real bug during that live test: EFA returns UTC timestamps (Z
suffix), and datetime.fromisoformat() parses that correctly into an
aware datetime, but strftime() on an aware datetime prints its own
stored hour/minute rather than converting to local time first --
everything displayed 2 hours behind (CEST is UTC+2), which looked like
"next" departures had already left. Fixed by converting with
astimezone() before formatting; re-verified live afterward that
departures now correctly show after the query time.
Settings: origin/destination resolved via Open-Meteo's free geocoding
(same pattern as Weather's city field), how many connections to show
(1/2/3/5), and its own configurable update interval.
The API (HAFAS via db-vendo-client) covers all public transport in one
system, not just trains -- verified with a mocked bus-stop response
(Bus 14/Bus 9/Bus 66 mixed with a regional train, all rendering correctly,
no code changes needed since nothing in check()/render() ever filtered by
mode). Fixed the "Train departures" wording in code comments and settings
UI, which was misleadingly train-specific.
Also added an explicit "Found: <station>" confirmation toast on a
successful station lookup, distinct from the generic "Saved." toast --
previously the only feedback was a passive "Currently: X" hint, easy to
miss and not obviously tied to the save you just did.
New screens/departures.py using the free, unofficial db-vendo-client REST
API (v6.db.transport.rest) -- no key needed, same "no API key" philosophy
as Weather's Open-Meteo integration. Community-run infra though, not
official DB, and it was actually down (503, then timing out entirely) for
the whole time I was building this -- couldn't live-verify against real
data the way Open-Meteo was earlier, so I built the parsing against the
project's documented example response and stress-tested render() with
mocked requests.get() covering on-time/delayed/cancelled/missing-platform/
very-long-direction cases instead. check() fails soft (logs a warning,
returns None) on any request error, matching the "service might be down"
reality of this API -- the screen shows a plain "not available" message
rather than erroring out.
Settings: station name (resolved to a station ID via /locations, same
pattern as Weather's city->coordinates geocoding), how many departures to
show (3/5/8), and its own configurable update interval via the
get_poll_interval() mechanism built for Weather (defaults to 2 min --
departure boards go stale much faster than weather does).
Caught two real layout bugs while stress-testing render() before shipping:
line names ("ICE 1234") and delayed/cancelled time text ("Fällt aus") were
both wider than the columns I'd budgeted for them, with the second one
overlapping the direction text when right-aligned past its column's own
left edge. Fixed by measuring actual worst-case widths at the chosen font
size instead of guessing, and truncating every field to its column as a
defensive backstop regardless.
Screen.poll_interval was a fixed class attribute the scheduler read
directly -- added Screen.get_poll_interval(settings) so a screen can make
it settings-driven instead. WeatherScreen overrides it to read a new
"update_minutes" field (default 30, matching the old hardcoded value).
New number input on the Weather settings page.
Caught a real edge case while testing: `raw or 30` treats an explicit 0
as falsy and silently replaces it with 30 instead of clamping to the
1-minute floor. Not reachable via the UI (min="1" on the input) but the
method should still be correct standalone -- fixed with an explicit
None-check instead.
"Show X now" now persists indefinitely (survives restarts too, it's in
config.json) instead of auto-expiring back to rotation after 5 minutes.
Implemented by reusing the existing rotation.enabled flag rather than a
separate scheduler-side timer: pinning a screen sets rotation.enabled=False
and records which screen in a new pinned_screen config field. Re-enabling
rotation -- either the "Resume automatic" button or just checking
"Enabled" again on the Rotation settings page -- clears the pin and
resumes normal cycling either way.
Navidrome priority is unchanged: still checked first, still preempts a
pin the instant something's playing, same as it already preempted
rotation.
Verified end-to-end: pin persists across many scheduler ticks (previously
would have reverted after 5 min), both resume paths (button and settings
checkbox) clear it correctly.
positionMs changes every poll (~20s), so the old live progress bar/elapsed
time forced a full flash constantly, even mid-song -- this panel has no
partial refresh, so there's no way to show real progress without that.
Now it's an outline + total length only, driven by nothing that changes
while the same track keeps playing. Verified the rendered image is
byte-identical across different positionMs values for the same track.
Also dropped elapsed/elapsed_text/progress_pct from the track dict
entirely now that nothing renders them.
- scheduler: "Show X now" was a true one-shot -- reverted on the very next
5s tick, causing the flash-to-X-then-flash-back-to-clock behavior. Now
pins for 5 minutes (still preemptable by Navidrome priority, which stays
authoritative). Added a "Resume automatic" action/button and status
display showing what's pinned and until when.
- weather: daily forecast strip (3/5/7 days, selectable in settings) below
current conditions, via Open-Meteo's daily= params in the same request.
Fixed a bad symbol choice along the way -- DejaVu Sans has no glyph for
the partly-cloudy emoji, was rendering as a tofu box; swapped to the
plain cloud symbol, verified glyph coverage for the whole WMO code table.
New screen alongside clock/weather/navidrome. Upload goes through the web
UI (validated with PIL before accepting, stored under web/static/uploads/,
gitignored), or point it at a URL re-fetched every 30 minutes. Cover/contain
fit modes (new fit_cover/fit_contain helpers in render_utils.py, generalized
from the square-only cover-art cropping already used by the Navidrome
screen), plus the same contrast-boost/grayscale options that screen has.
- Panel is mounted sideways: render landscape (600x400), rotate to the
panel's native portrait orientation right before writing to hardware.
- Web UI: card-based layout, dark mode, active nav highlighting, save
confirmation toasts, error banners.
- Rotation: separate enabled/disabled toggle (off pins to the first screen
in the list) and the interval is now in minutes instead of raw seconds.
Migrates existing config.json from the old interval_seconds field.
- Weather: type a city name instead of hunting down coordinates, resolved
via Open-Meteo's free geocoding API. Manual lat/long still available as
a fallback.
