Sync private iCloud calendar with MagicMirror

[Beh]

@Doubleve Did you change the first line of the file to #!/usr/bin/python3 ?

[Doubleve]

everything is good

[l0cal]

That sounds good for me. Does it work with reminders on the same way?

[Beh]

@Doubleve Hmmm…

Maybe you have to allow your localhost address to the MagicMirror ipWhiteList option in your config. Just add ipWhitelist: ["127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1"], to your config right before the modules option. Maybe the calendar module can not access the .ics file if this is not allowed…

[Beh]

@l0cal Yes this should work.

Just add "VTODO" to the item_types array in your vdirsyncer config as described in the vdirsyncer docs here: https://vdirsyncer.pimutils.org/en/stable/config.html?highlight=VEVENT#storage-caldav.

@Beh yeah that are good news for me.

in the last few weeks I was looking for a solution for it and I did not find anything

I have a question

So far I managed to sync one calendar from one iCloud account, but I would like to sync also a second calendar from a second iCloud account, is this possible?

Thanks
Ricardo

Hey @ribermon!

Yes, this should be possible. You just have to add another configuration scheme for your second icloud account to the vdirsyncer config. I didn’t try it, but something like that should work:

# vdirsyncer configuration for MagicMirror.
#
# Move it to ~/.vdirsyncer/config or ~/.config/vdirsyncer/config and edit it.
# Run `vdirsyncer --help` for CLI usage.
#
# Optional parameters are commented out.
# This file doesn't document all available parameters, see
# http://vdirsyncer.pimutils.org/ for the rest of them.

[general]
# A folder where vdirsyncer can store some metadata about each pair.
status_path = "~/.vdirsyncer/status/"

# CALDAV Sync for iCloud 1
[pair iCloud1_to_MagicMirror]
a = "Mirror_iCloud1"
b = "iCloud1"
collections = ["HERE-GOES-THE-UUID-OF-THE-CALENDAR-YOU-WANT-TO-SYNC"]

# Calendars also have a color property
metadata = ["displayname", "color"]

[storage Mirror_iCloud1]
# We need a single .ics file for use with the mirror (Attention! This is really slow on big amounts of events.)
type = "singlefile"
# We'll put the calendar file to a readable location for the calendar module
path = "/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/calendars/%s.ics"

[storage iCloud1]
type = "caldav"
url = "https://caldav.icloud.com/"
# Authentication credentials
username = "YOUR-ICLOUD-EMAIL-ADDRESS"
password = "HERE-GOES-YOUR-APP-SPECIFIC-ICLOUD-PASSWORD"
# We only want to sync in the direction TO the mirror, so we make iCloud readonly
read_only = true
# We only want to sync events
item_types = ["VEVENT"]
# We need to keep the number of events low, so we'll just sync the next month
# Adjust this to your needs
start_date = "datetime.now() - timedelta(days=1)"
end_date = "datetime.now() + timedelta(days=30)"


# CALDAV Sync for iCloud 2
[pair iCloud2_to_MagicMirror]
a = "Mirror_iCloud2"
b = "iCloud2"
collections = ["HERE-GOES-THE-UUID-OF-THE-CALENDAR-YOU-WANT-TO-SYNC"]

# Calendars also have a color property
metadata = ["displayname", "color"]

[storage Mirror_iCloud2]
# We need a single .ics file for use with the mirror (Attention! This is really slow on big amounts of events.)
type = "singlefile"
# We'll put the calendar file to a readable location for the calendar module
path = "/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/calendars/%s.ics"

[storage iCloud2]
type = "caldav"
url = "https://caldav.icloud.com/"
# Authentication credentials
username = "YOUR-ICLOUD2-EMAIL-ADDRESS"
password = "HERE-GOES-YOUR-APP-SPECIFIC-ICLOUD2-PASSWORD"
# We only want to sync in the direction TO the mirror, so we make iCloud readonly
read_only = true
# We only want to sync events
item_types = ["VEVENT"]
# We need to keep the number of events low, so we'll just sync the next month
# Adjust this to your needs
start_date = "datetime.now() - timedelta(days=1)"
end_date = "datetime.now() + timedelta(days=30)"

@Beh I manage to discover the calendars from my second iCloud account but then I don’t manage to sync my calendars there, any idea, thanks
