MMM-GoogleCalendar Not Loading

[sdetweil]

@philie can you show the messages at mm startup

Update from my side right after the post of the message (I had to wait until the post was approved by the forum:
A simple restart of the Raspberry did the trick. It now works as expected. Side node: in my case, the calendar ID is simply the gmail address

[nuggetron22]

I’m getting the error in MM saying:
“Error in the MMM-GoogleCalendar module. Check logs for more details.”

When I check the log, it shows a FetchError saying that the oauth token failed, reason: connect ETIMEDOUT. I’ve included the clip from my logs with some of my calendar info redacted. I posted it on the Github module as an issue as well.

I haven’t been able to get any of my calendars to show up using the standard calendar module or the MMM-CalendarExt3 module either. They never load. I can’t tell if it’s a Google problem, a config problem, a MagicMirror problem, or a limitation with my RPi Zero 2 W.

@nuggetron22 I do not know about that module.
but Ext3 gets its events from the default calendar. it does not read from the source.

@sdetweil

Something seems to be wrong with v2.26.0 on how it reads in calendars. I’m not much of a coder for stuff like this, but I stumbled my way through reverting to v2.23.0 and the basic calendar module can now read my Google Private iCal file where it couldn’t on v2.26.0. I’ll try it with Ext3 and the GoogleCalendar module tomorrow and see if they work too.

1. ETIMEDOUT generally happens when the server is busy, or the connection is extraordinarily slow. To prevent it, keep alive header is recommended. (Not sure that is the reason, anyway.)

2. CX3* can also be fed from MMM-GoogleCalendar. But by compatibility issues due to unmatched format, broadcasts from MMM-GoogleCalendar should be converted before consumption.

3. You can alternatively try MMM-CalDAV + default calendar module instead of MMM-GoogleCalendar if you still have issues.

@nuggetron22 yes 2.26 has a problem w calendar parser

do thia

cd ~/MagicMirror
npm install node-ical@0.16.1

restart MagicMirror

I’ve reverted back to MM v2.23.0 and got this to work. I’m also trying to integrate it with MMM-CalenderExt3 and having some difficulties there. Still learning what needs to be updated to make them talk to each other.

I’ll try going back to v2.26.0 and install the node-ical@0.16.1 and see if that fixes the calendar parser issue. Thanks for the quick replies all!

@nuggetron22 calendar Ext3 gets its info from the default calendar.

so the url goes there. get it working first
then comment out it’s position property

then add Ext3 and customize

[nuggetron22]

Alright, I went back to v2.26.0 and tried the

cd ~/MagicMirror
npm install node-ical@0.16.1

but it didn’t resolve my calendar issues. I was getting all of my Google Calendars, whether in the default or the MMM-GoogleCalendar module, on v2.23.0. I couldn’t get my calendars on v2.26.0, v2.25.0, or v2.24.0. They all gave me ETIMEDOUT errors during the Fetch.

Back to v2.23.0 and I can get all of my Google Calendar either in the default calendar module or the MMM-GoogleCalendar module.
