Things you may need to do to make this happen
You will need some Linux knowledge
Some entry's I made in the mmdvmhost file at the Linux level
1. ssh into the Linux level,
2. change from rpi-ro to rpi-rw
3. Sudo nano /etc/mmdvmhost
Cap's spacing etc. are important!
For the temp change
scroll down to the [NEXTION] section and at the bottom of the entrys add a line
DisplayTempInFahrenheit=1
While not necessary for the temp change since I was making changes I added the following lines
in the [NEXTIONDRIVER] section at the bottom of those entrys
RemoveDim=0
SleepWhenInactive=0
Save the changes and exit the nano editor and reboot.
you should now see these changes in the pistar expert editor mmdvmhost config file
This is based on not knowing your exact setup and is for the Nextion Screens

last thing I did to make this work consistently is update the NextionDriver
If yours is at 1.06 or your not sure
here is a link to instructions on doing that follow them as it updates it will show you
your current version and the version it is being updated to (1.06)
https://github.com/on7lds/NextionDriverInstaller
reboot
If your brave, you can do the below based this link line 7 & 8 of the artical
It is advisable to switch to layout 4, setting your display baudrate to 115200bps
If not, screen updates will be rather slow...

Re: change temp fro celcious to fahrenheit
Can you explain to me how to do this again because I am not getting the same display options as you... My Nextion screen is Enhanced 3.2" Simplex, Hotspot is single Hat/Simplex, and for my Nextion options for MMDVM Host I will display below. There is no option for DisplayTempInFarenheit or SleepWhenInactive on my screen. Please help cuz i HATE Celsius! Also I have read every tutorial I could Google and I am not finding anywhere that allows me to see code & change it for the Nextion Editor, and I've been a tech geek for 20+ years now and I'm stumped! Thanks in advance!

Directions are in post 4. You have to edit the file first in order for the option to show in the screen you posted.WN4EMT wrote:Can you explain to me how to do this again because I am not getting the same display options as you...

I’m sorry I feel really stupid now. I totally didn’t read the part where you said to ADD the lines underneath the sections I was under the impression they were supposed to be there already.

The command in MMDVMHOST used to work and show Temperature in F... but as of the last update it now only shows for a few seconds before reverting back to C. I have three hotspots. 2 on PI3A+ and one is duplex on a Pi 3B+ and all with Temp readout on the Nextion now only show C.
