Sync private iCloud calendar with MagicMirror

Hi what’s the issue
@Devert

Fenis

I saw someone back on page 1 getting this error but not a solution:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/usr/bin/vdirsyncer”, line 7, in
from vdirsyncer.cli import main
ImportError: No module named ‘vdirsyncer’

In answer to the reply of if I added python3 to the executable, I already have.

@Doubleve How did you fix this issue? I’m getting the same error.

Thanks for the tutorial, this is incredibly helpful.

I’m to the point where my MagicMirror displays events from my Home calendar, but it seems that vdirsyncer.timer is not actually working. When I run systemctl --user enable vdirsyncer.timer the console doesn’t output any errors and just returns to a new line. I never see any updates to events on the calendar if I remove/add.

I’ve modified the timer settings, and changed a few settings on the MagicMirror side as well but the only way I can get the .ics files to update is if I manually run vdirsyncer sync. I’ve ready through the docs over here: https://vdirsyncer.pimutils.org/en/stable/index.html but there really isn’t any useful information about the timer.

Any thoughts or leads to finding an answer?

Hi all,

i’m trying to prepare everything on SW site before i start building MM and i have almost everything except birthdays … :(

i’m using iCloud to store my contacts birthdays but i’m not able to find way how to import them to calendar module on MM2

i’ve found and installed this module :
MMM-iCloud-Client

i’ve installed it and also dependecies :
npm install ical-generator
npm install icloud
npm install nedb --save

in config/config.js i’ve updated entry with
{
module: ‘MMM-iCloud-Client’,
config: {
username: “appleID”,
password: “password”,
countrycode: “49”,
}
},

also i’ve edited modules/default/calendar/calendar.js and added this code to it (below US-Holidays.ics …entry) :
{
symbol: ‘birthday-cake’,
url: ‘http://localhost:8080/MMM-iCloud-Client/birthdays’,
}

but it’s still not showing any birthday even if upcomming are in 2 days.

Can someone help me what i’m doing wrong ?

Thank you

Maros

i’ve tried to remove module MMM-iCloud-Client
(rm -rf MMM-iCloud-Client in modules dir)

then i’ve installed it from beginning as written in Readme

when i’ve executed “npm install” in MMM-iCloud-Client directory i get this information :
/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-iCloud-Client $ npm install
npm WARN deprecated node-uuid@1.4.8: Use uuid module instead
npm notice created a lockfile as package-lock.json. You should commit this file.

i’ve executed “npm audit” and error is according lodash

i’ve tried also “npm audit fix” but i get

/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-iCloud-Client $ npm install
npm WARN deprecated node-uuid@1.4.8: Use uuid module instead

i’ve searched and tried to install lodash manually by “npm install lodash”

/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-iCloud-Client $ npm install lodash

can someone help ? I’m not sure if this is root cause why Birthday is not working as it should but this is the only error i can see.

Maros

Or is there any posibility how to add birthday ? Google calendar maybe?

@maros

there is a default calendar module that automatically came with MM2

And there are others, I personally like MMM-CalendarExt.

Maros

Yes but is there possibility to add birthday calendar ?
Icloud or google ?
