MMM-CalDAV

Tiller

Hello again,
sorry I had a lot of work at my job, but now I’m trying again to get this MM working.
The sync to my Synology-Calendar still isn’t working.

Here are my logs:

pi@raspy:~ $ pm2 logs mm
[TAILING] Tailing last 15 lines for [mm] process (change the value with --lines option)

Probably some auth. problem?
Maybe you got another idea.
I’m running the MM on an Raspberry Pi Zero.

@Tiller
invalidcaldavserver.com ???
Usually your error message is showing that URL may be wrong.

Tiller

@MMRIZE
Yes, that’s what I thought too.
But I checked it again, and it’s the same URL my Synology ist showing for the calendar.
“Http://localip:5000/caldav/”

Maybe some settings on my synology are the problem?! I already checked the port, it’s open.

@Tiller what is localip?

Tiller

@sdetweil
The local IP of my synology.
Something like 192.168.0.x

sdetweil

@Tiller ok… just checking…

just fyi IP addresses 192.168.x.y NEVER cross the internet… they are ‘unroutable’ on purpose
172. and 10. are also like that

if you share that I cannot reach it…

mine network is 192.168.2.x

Tiller

Hello and a happy new year to you all.

I checked the URL, tried different versions. Used the tried the same URL I use on my smartphone (the url is working), but always get the same error.

I don’t know what to do or try.
I checked the firewall and port settings on my synology, but still the same error.

Do you have any other ideas?

@Tiller can you post your config… xx out the personal part of your source calendar

use the code block wrapper on the config post here

Hi Sam,

here is my config.

@Tiller thanks… just needed caldav and calendar

sdetweil

@Tiller said in MMM-CalDAV:

http://localhost:8080/CALDAV/SYNOLOGY_Calendar.ics

if you open that on browser someplace it works??

Tiller

@sdetweil

No, it still doesn’t work. I checked the path of the .ics, which should be stored in /MagicMirror/MMM-CalDav/service/
as a hidden file, but I can only find the placeholder.txt

Tillmann

sdetweil

@Tiller i do not know… sounds like the MMM-CalDav module didn’t mnake the conversion for some reason

Tiller

@sdetweil

Hello,
it’s working now, but without the MMM-CalDAV module.
I checked the url I’m using on my phone and just added it to the standard calendar module and added a “.ics” at the end of the url. Now it’s working. I tried this before and it wasn’t working.
Now it is.
Thanks for your help and support.

@Tiller awesome!! thanks for the feedback

Hello,
Please Can you help me and Sorry for my bad English.

I have a Problem wit the CalDAV Module in Magic Mirror2.

The following errors are clear thats the result from the First ERROR.

What im doing Wrong or thinking false?

sdetweil

@MrPringless did you run
npm install
In the module folder after the git clone?

git clone …
cd MMM-CalDAV
npm install

MrPringless

@sdetweil Thanks for your reply.
It’s a bit crazy. I completely reinstalled everything two days ago using copy and paste from the module page.
Then I copied the .env file from the old installation to the new installation.
Could this be because I copied the .env file from a backup into the directory after the reinstallation?
Thanks for the feedback, because I’d like to learn from my mistakes.

sdetweil

@MrPringless I do not know the inner workings of the module.

typically
module not found
means npm install for the module was not done or the package.json for the module didn’t list the library dependency. MMRIZE is very good on that point, so I don’t the second is the reason…

but thanks for the nudge… my backup/restore scripts will save/restore extra files discovered in a modules folder… but files with leading dot are hidden by convention… so I will have to check that

I would not have picked up the .env file… fixed… thx
