Three module issues from a new user

[vildhjelm]

Hi everyone,

I’m kind of new to MagicMirror, and have been spending the past five hours today setting up and configuring, googling whatever I couldn’t get to work etc., and I’m now left with three issues I can’t solve:

• list itemOne:
  [link text](link url)
  Times should be set correctly, as well as physical location, but still magicmirror insists that sunrise is at 15:27 and sunset is 03:12, neither of which are true. Sunrise is 6:30 and sunset is around 18:00 these days.

• list itemTwo:
  
  These events all start on the whole hour in my calendar, but here all start at three minutes past, and I’ve no idea why.

• list itemThree:
  No photo, sorry, it revealed a lot from my calendar. But I’ve set symbols from font awesome in the calendar module, but of my four calendars, only one is getting the symbols. I haven’t been able to find much information about assigning symbols, so it’s hard for me to figure out what’s wrong.

Thank you, I hope some of you can help with any of my issues.

All the best,
Vilhelm

@vildhjelm item 1

the clock takes info from the system setting for timezone

item 2, show me an entry from the ics file.

u can download it like this

curl -sL cal_url > somefile.txt

then edit somefile.txt

u can change any text you consider private, just leave the times alone

BEGIN:VEVENT
...
END:VEVENT

item 3

can u show the calendar config from config.js…
u can xxx out the urls, don’t change anything else.

{
  module:"calendar",
.
.
.
}

@sdetweil
Thank you for replying 😊.

Item 1: It’s set correctly though, to Copenhagen. It gets the time right, so it knows where it is (so to speak).

Item 2:
Here’s an example, because the full document was ~40 000 lines long:
BEGIN:VEVENT
DTEND;TZID=Europe/Copenhagen:20220314T165500
DTSTAMP:20220314T181224Z
DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Copenhagen:20220314T160000
LOCATION: removed
SEQUENCE:0
SUMMARY:TRX
TRANSP:OPAQUE
UID:0742E3B1-9CB7-413A-B849-2B7CE152932E
END:VEVENT

Item 3:
The symbol only works for the first calendar, the horse-head.
{
symbol: “fa-solid fa-horse-head”,
url: “address”
},
{
symbol: “fa-solid fa-people”,
url: “address”
},
{
symbol: “fa-brands fa-firefox-browser”,
url: “address”
},
{
symbol: “fa-solid fa-church”,
url: “address”
},

Thank you so much!

@vilhelmr item 3, “fa-people”

item 2

is that a repeating event, or lots of singles…

I see the correct time.

item 1, add the debug to the config to capture the log

logLevel: ["INFO", "LOG", "WARN", "ERROR","DEBUG"],

and then npm start >somefile.txt

and ctrl-break after the MM screen and cal comes up…

u can send the file to me,. same userid at gmail.

@vilhelmr item 2, I changed the date cause today is in the past

I cut/pasted that cal event into my test ics (I am US central time, UTC-5)

with my system date set to Copenhagen

@sdetweil
Neither fa-solid fa-person-half-dress nor fa-brands fa-firefox-browser are showing up 😕. They’re both registered as free. Is there something else I should be aware of?

The other issues I’ve learned to live with 🤷‍♂️, by not having sunrise/sunset and by using a different calendar-formatting.

[sdetweil]

@vilhelmr weather takes sunrise/set from the location you configured for weather…

clock in utc+1, weather location in Austin TX
for example

[sdetweil]

@vilhelmr for icons I would look in the developers window, ctrl-shift-i, console tab, for any errors.

filter on calendar, by putting unique part of module name in filter field (cal for example)

[vildhjelm]

@sdetweil
I managed to get unique icons for each calendar, through trial and error with font awesome. Not all “free” fonts are supported, I think “brands” aren’t.
Do you know, if I can set icons that I’ve stored locally? There are a lot on the noun project that would be excellent :).

i do not know myself, but I would think you could

<img icon="68" src="/img/emoji/U263a.ico" alt=":-)" />

the base for MM web server is MagicMirror, so

src="/modules/{modulename}/{sub_folder}/{filename}"

replace {} with the appropriate name, if any
