      I did have to logon thru the iframe for the dashboard to appear instead of the HA logon panel
      the logon persisted across MM startups, at least close in time

      the HomeAssistantDisplay module use the api token

        @sdetweil and @Hilt

        I have made progress (sort of). Before when I was testing the various versions of iFrames I hadn’t even tried linking to HA and was using basic websites and just couldn’t see it.

        I commented out the HA Display one for now in case it was all throwing a wobbly and I tested that I could access the HA login screen from the monitor using the browser.

        I have used this to add an iFrame with the URL for the HA:

                   {
        			module: 'iFrame',
        			position: "fullscreen_above" ,	// This can be any of the regions.
        			classes: "testing",
        			config: {
        				// See 'Configuration options' for more information.
        					url: "http://xxx.xxx.xx.xx:8123/",
        					width: "100%", // Optional. Default: 100%
        					height: "100vh", //Optional. Default: 100px
        					border: "1px",
        				},
        		},
        

        I can now see it, but I cannot get it to fill the page. It is a very thin window at the top. I have tried changing height to 100%, but found something on the forum about vh. I have tried fullscreen, fullscreen_below and other sections and nothing seems to make it particularly big.

        The other thing I have noticed is that on my first page “home” my google calendar is missing, or at least the data has gone. I am using MMM-CalendarExt3 and my Todoist (MMM-Todoist2) list has all gone too. the title is there, but no tasks. I had noticed that the calendar and page indicators etc needed updating so I tried that afterwards, but no luck. Is it because I have multiple places using URLs? The calendar has 5 google calendar’s, though the Todoist is using an API.

        Apart from that, it is going well 😂

          @British_Kiwi you dont want full screen_above, that puts it on top of every other module, hiding them

          Try mmm-embedurl, works for me

            @sdetweil . I’ll try that tomorrow. Just about to head to bed.

            I think I might know why I lost my google calendar in the meantime. I had seen there were updates which I had been ignoring, but in the end i updated the calendar, pages and page indicator. I have since seen that the new MM update has impacts on the calendar and looks like my nodjs was an old version. I followed your instructions from here https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/19770/nodejs-version-update-issue/2?_=1759892047767 and have updated nodejs to v 22.18, but I still don’t have any calendars showing.

            A problem for another night!

              @British_Kiwi if you had used the upgrade script it would have been done for you

              Nothing in the MagicMirror upgrade should have affected calendar.

                @British_Kiwi MagicMirror is a 3 layer design

                Full screen_below on the bottom
                Module positions. (These will hide parts of fs_below)
                Fullscreen_above on top (this will hide anything below it), great for a security panel when no one is around, for example

                  You can also try placing it bottom right and sizing by pixel count, increasing gradually until you reach your monitors full(ish) resolution

                  I haven’t tried full screen. But one of my configs looks like this :

                                  {
                                          module: "iFrame",
                                          position: "bottom_right",
                                          header: "HOUSE STATISTICS",
                                          config: {
                                                  url: "http://192.168.1.4:8123/mm-dash-right",
                                                          width: "410px",
                                                          height: "215px"
                                  }
                                  },
                  

                  If I increase width, the iframe expands to the left. If I increase height, it expands up. Worth a shot.

                    Sam, I usually use your script (not quite sure why I didn’t, blaming lack of sleep). I have run it and all running correctly. keep getting a message about environment variables, but have been running the following code which seems to sort it till the next time.

                    pm2 restart 0 --update -env
                    

                    Thanks for giving more details about fullscreen below and above. I don’t have anything else on that page, so I am surprised why this didn’t fill up the screen.

                    @Hilt I ended up using your code about using bottom_right and after a bit of tweaking and I can now see it. just need to log in.

                    My main problem now (there is always one) , is that I still can’t get the calendar to populate or todoist. Of course, my last back up was not just before this stopped working and I think it was around the time I updated the module. However, I didn’t update the Todoist module so a bit baffled. I’ll have to check my code and see if I have inadvertently done something. I am using VSCode and doesn’t look like I have, but will go through it carefully after work. Here is what it looks like now:
                    MM.jpg

                    I do have to tweak my sizing of the modules on my home page as there is a little overlap when everything is populated, but apart from that this page was working well.
                    Anyway , have a great day :)

                      @British_Kiwi ok

                      Calendarext3 gets its events from the default calendar module
                      Do you have that configured, and does it work?
                      To
                      Make it not show just comment out its position using // in front of that line

                      Now, because ext3 gets events from the default calendar module, and there couple be many individual calendars contributing events, the developer doesn’t want the screen to be flashing for individual updates

                      So there is a cycle, refresh interval, default 10 minutes
                      So every 10 minutes the events received since last time will be displayed

                      Now the first time you don’t want to wait 10 mins
                      So there is a waitFetch parm, 5 seconds

                      After 5 seconds, whatever events have arrived will be drawn, even if none, then we wait refreshInterval and do it again

                      You can increase the waitFetch time, side effect is NO Display til after that time limit

                        @sdetweil the default calendar isn’t working either! I have commented out ext3, I have reduced the calendar entries on the default calendar to just Australian holidays in case Google is having a fit! It just says loading. I had not touched any of this code in the config at all. I have seen there have been cases of calendar’s not loading last January and few again now. Is it worth me raising it on the github discussion or issue list?
