Read the statement by Michael Teeuw here.
MMM-CalendarExt3 - use hidden calendar and remote weather locale?
-
@eqpaisley ext3 doesn’t know where the data was sourced from
create ANOTHER calendar module w just one entry
create another weather module w a different location
both w position not specified
note: weather providers are getting restrictive on free access. sone provide enough for 1 day, maybe every hour… two weathers will double the counts…
-
@sdetweil ahhhh I understand.
Sorry to ask to be spoonfed here – when creating a 2nd instance of a default module, can that just be done in the config or do I need a 2nd copy of the entire calendar directory? How will I distinguish between the two for the purposes of having MMMCal3 pull data from one but not the other?
-
@sdetweil Actually I figured it out SORT OF. Just added another calendar module and no position and it did exactly what you said. However – if I don’t put this second instance of the calendar as the LAST thing in my config.js, it stops all modules below it from loading. Really odd.
Thanks for all the help!

@eqpaisley
You can usecalendarSet: ['CALENDAR_NAME1', 'CALENDAR_NAME2', ...],You need to assign a
nameattribute to your target calendar of defaultcalendarmodule(s).For specifying the target weather, once I considered that case but had thought nobody would use the weather module like that. But finally, here are you. I’ll implement that feature on the next update.

@MMRIZE said in MMM-CalendarExt3 - use hidden calendar and remote weather locale?:

I have arrived!!! :)
Kidding. But, yeah, if I could throw my openweather API key and new location data into the MMMCal3 config, that would be sick!
-
@eqpaisley odd indeed. all the default modules support multiple instances , by config in config.js
-
@eqpaisley here’s what I would do. Install MMM-CalendarExt3Agenda and use it instead of the default calendar module to display events. You’ll still use calendar, just not use it with the position indicator. CE3A gives you a ton more control over the calendars displayed and used, is prettier, and more functional, IMO.

I’ve updated. Check ver 1.2.6
