  @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.

  Sync private iCloud calendar with MagicMirror

  @Beh first and foremost, thank you very much for setting out clear and detailed instructions. I’m a complete newbie but by following your instructions it works perfectly. I saw that, when I run “vdircyncer discover”, I receive a list of all my calenders and, in addition, my iCloud reminders. The reminders seem to have similar UUIDs to the calendars. I tried following the same process for my “Family” reminders by creating a CALDAV sync (in the vdirsyncer config file) called “pair iCloudTD_to_MagicMirrorTD”, including the Family UUID in the “collections” section and creating a %.ics file in /MagicMirror/modules/calendars/%s.ics. I have items_types as “VEVENT”, “VTODO”. I also inserted the %.ics file as a calendar entry in the “calendar” module in MagicMirror. However, the to do list does not appear in MM (it just says “No upcoming events”). The calendar however works perfectly. I’m guessing it’s not possible to import iCloud reminders in the same way as iCloud calendars but I thought I’d ask before I spend more time reading through the vdirsyncer documentation and other Google searches. Is there a config setting I’m missing or is it not possible at all? I’m struggling to understand the difference between VTODO and reminders.

  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. https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/run/

  All depends on the enclosure behind the mirror, I have a fairly closed box ( large air volume inside so heat isn’t an issue). And the inside don’t get condensation on it, and generally the part with the screen behind it usually gets warm enough so it doesn’t get foggy. I wouls strongly advice against anything not glass when it comes to a bathroom mirror due to scratching. The bathroom mirror usually needs more cleaning than say a hallway mirror and the more you clean the more scratching will occur. So the harder the surface the better. And the coated side inwards the screen so you don’t accidentally damage it.

  If you create two modules you could use MMM-ModuleScheduler to schedule the show/hide of one the modules. I have not used it but it appears to do what you are asking. https://github.com/ianperrin/MMM-ModuleScheduler I personally use MMM-Remote-Control, but to do this you need to send a http request to show/hide the module. I do this through Home Assistant. https://github.com/Jopyth/MMM-Remote-Control

  Re: Sync private iCloud calendar with MagicMirror HI guys, this has been very helpful! I do have a problem concerning the automatic sync. I can manually sync my iCloud calendar using : vdirsyncer sync but i can’t get it to do it automatically. Is there a way to find what I did wrong? Thanks a lot.
