Creating and using your Garbage Schedule

You can use this module by creating your own Garbage Schedule file with the name garbage_schedule.csv An example file garbage_schedule.csv is added.

Create a CSV based on the following template:

WeekStarting,Greenbin,GarbageBin,PaperBin,PMDBin,OtherBin
03/07/18,1,0,1,0,0
03/14/18,1,1,1,0,0
03/21/18,1,0,1,0,1
03/28/18,1,1,1,1,0

Default there are 3 bins defined (green, gray and blue) If you need more garbage bins, simply add an extra column in the garbage_schedule.csv file. The name is the color you like the bin to have.

Add lines for each garbage pickup date as needed. The date format needs to be specified as MM/DD/YY (e.g.: 05/28/18 for 28-May-2018)

Possible Values for colors:

• Legacy Values:
  • GreenBin (defaults to #00A651)
  • GarbageBin (defaults to #787878)
  • PaperBin (defaults to #0059ff)
  • PMDBin (defaults to #ffff00)
  • OtherBin (defaults to #B87333)
• Any CSS color string (red, chocolate, cornflowerblue, etc..)
• Any HEX-Color (#FF0000, #8c8c8c, etc)
• Any rgb, rgba or hsl value if in double quotes ("rgb(128,65,98)", "rgba(134,56,32,0.5)", "hsl(0, 100%, 50%)", etc.)

The following is VERY important:

• The CSV file must be delimited using commas
• The date format needs to be specified as MM/DD/YY (e.g.: 05/28/18 for 28-May-2018)
• The remaining fields of each line specify whether the particular waste product is scheduled to be picked up on the given date. A value of 0 means no pick up. A value of ANYTHING ELSE means the product will be picked up. Using the first pick up date entry in the template above, 1,0,1 means that green and blue will be picked up on that date, while gray will not be picked up.

Save the file as garbage_schedule.csv in the MMM-MyGarbage directory and restart Magic Mirror²
