Hello

I did like you and it works perfectly.

Thank you so much.

No problem, glad I could help 🙂

@bkeyport but u left out the fun…

scripts for install and update here

https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts

and as you are starting, try out my new config module, that makes editing config.js a thing of the past

https://github.com/sdetweil/MMM-Config

also, read the two topics listed in my signature… at least you will get to installing modules…

@mr190e said in Sync private iCloud calendar with MagicMirror:

@ggfuzzy Where is that file? I’m too much of a noob to find it 😃

Seems like I got to work again.

First of all, I installed vdirsyncer via
“sudo apt-get install vdirsyncer”,
and not using pip.

Second the command to start the systemd timer
systemctl --user enable vdirsyncer.timer
did not work at all. When typing
systemctl --user status vdirsyncer.timer
It always said the timer was dead. So I started it with its start command:
systemctl --user start vdirsyncer.timer

Third, I made the modification to vdirsyncer.service as suggested by @Beh
Run

which vdirsyncer

And remember the path. After, edit the vdirsyncer.service file

sudo nano /etc/systemd/user/vdirsyncer.service

Correct the right path after “ExecStart”. My .service file looks like this:

[Unit] Description=Synchronize calendars and contacts Documentation=https://vdirsyncer.readthedocs.org/ [Service] ExecStart=/home/pi/.local/bin/vdirsyncer sync RuntimeMaxSec=3m Restart=on-failure

@sdetweil Yh i’ve realised that i am just stupid. All i had to do was to add the pages on the MMM-AlexaControl module and not the MMM-Pages one. Thank you for your help and time 🙂

@sdetweil , thanks!

@ulster sorry, i dont know anything about the module and dont read ( or re-read) every page of posts

@harney because of the problems within the MM world, I ended up controlling my buttons with external python scripts. More flexable, more configurable, and able to do exactly what I want.

@Datfatboi never change the module code ( your second choice)
unless u are fixing a bug or adding some new function.

always put info into config.js

now, your lines for config.js are not correct.

{ module: "MMM-RottenTomatoes", position: "top_left", config: { showHeader: "true" showBoxOffice: "true" showOpeningThisWeek: "true" } },

watch out for the quote style… the curved ones are used by MS office apps…
we need the text ones, straight up and down

also u are missing some required trailing commas
look at each line, and follow the rules

general rules for module definition
{} and [] must be matched
the word to the left of : does not need quotes
the thing to the right of : if a number or, true/false does NOT need quotes
otherwise is needs quotes, single or double doesn’t matter as long as start and end quote are the same

if the thing on the next line is a word , then THIS line needs a trailing comma
if the thing on the next line is {, then THIS line needs a trailing comma

also, indentation makes it MUCH easier to see the {} and []

Hi
I’ve got a rpi4 running magic mirror and was wondering if it is going to be safe to install room assistant on the same machine? Ie when running node -v it shows v10.23.0 while my understanding for room assistant v12.x is required. I wonder if there is an easy way to run a magic mirror on v10.x and room assistant on v12.x?

Thanks,
Alex

Ok thanks it 's good now.

@Parvez hi,

I took a fork of SMAI that uses recoDNN an doesn’t require any external python running (recoDNN does that), i also detail training.

https://github.com/jimbydude/MMM-AI-Face-Login

Cheers

can any one share with me " MMM-Face-Recognition-SMAI " configarition file ?

@Big11 Here is the answer:

Install the SynoCommunity package source Install ‘git’ using the package manager Now you can use ‘git’ commands from the CLI while SSHed into the Synology.

How to install SynoCommunity:
A. This guide here: https://sys-advisor.com/en/2017/11/05/tuto-synology-comment-ajouter-le-depot-synocomunity-2/
B: Google “add synocommunity to synology” it if that link becomes unavailable.

@amsuvarna27 can u explain more?

U downloaded raspian image on windows
And used some tool to put that into an SD card (etcher is a tool)

Then what happens?

@karsten13 Running 2 instances, ofcourse! And then in the config I can easily restrict the current setup to localhost only, while the second one can be an open version.
When I read it, I really wondered why I haven’t thought of this myself. Thank you! 🙂

@BKeyport Here’s a more detailed explanation for you and anyone who is curious.

The if (typeof module !== "undefined") {} line checks if there is a global variable named module. If there is, then we must be using a module system and we have to export config using module.exports = config;. If not, then we must be in the browser and config will already be available to any other modules.

In the browser, there is no concept of separate modules (a.k.a. files); script files are loaded in and simply concatenated one after the other. So if you load config.js and then another-file.js, the config variable (var config = { ... } ) will be available as a global variable in another-file.js. The module and require variables are not defined.

In more modern code with a module system, you have to export anything you want to use elsewhere, and import it in modules where you need it. Node.js uses module.exports = ... to export and ... = require("module-to-import") to import.

@CliffordW said in Error while updating.:

. There are actually two update scripts on that page

no, there are two invocations of the same script…

one in test mode,
and
one in apply mode

I don’t know that switch! But it read from dockerfile? My strategy is a bit longer but it can guarantee that all is updated and I can also add git pull for every module in the sequence…

Edit: I give a try, but not works, and didn’t find that on documentation.
