Keep messages up

aunrea

Is there a way to keep the message up until a new message is sent. I need the message to stay visible for a longer time than it does now.

it’s explain in wiki …

    {
      disabled: false,
      module: "MMM-TelegramBot",
      position: "top_right", // needed for telecast !
      config: {
        telegramAPIKey : "your_api_key",
        allowedUser : ['Your_username'], // This is NOT the username of bot.
        adminChatId : <your_Chat ID>,
        telecast: <your_Chat ID>, // <-- same like adminChatId field
        telecastLimit: 3, <-- nb max of message displayed on the screen
        telecastLife: 0, <-- nb of ms to display the message before clean it (0 to keep on the screen)
        //... and continue config from wiki of needed
      }
    },

to display a message on the screen. open a dialogue with it and directly tape a message OR use /telecast your message

Note: It can be a audio message, image, emoji, …

Not Tested, but i think you can try this fetaure in config:

telecastLife: 0,

Note: the value 0 is unlimited time

Which command are you suppose to use to show messages on the mirror? I have been using /alert and it always disappears after a while, but it also hides all other modules. I tried /notification and /telecast but it doesn’t do anything. I don’t get anything that looks like the screenshot in the module description.

Sorry. Somehow I didn’t see the config page in the wiki. Only the config info on the install page which doesn’t show it all.

telecastLife: 0,

only shows it in a flash. Now that I see the config info for the time limit I found a time limit that works for me. Thank you for the help.
