Sync private iCloud calendar with MagicMirror

[Nd_27]

Hey,
im new to this but trying my best.
The Sync with calendar works fine, but the sync to the reminders won’t work.
I added the “VTODO” but there are do VTODO in the *.ics File.
Does i have to do anything else and how the calendar shown the Reminders?

Sorry again, im very new and this is my very first project.

best regards
Niklas

Ok … Trying to sync my iCal calendars and I get this every time:

error: Unknown error occurred: name 'r130' is not defined
error: Use `-vdebug` to see the full traceback.
error: 1 out of 1 tasks failed.

Any ideas?

@Beh thanks for this. everything is working fine for me just a small error I wanted to ask about in my /home/pi/.pm2/logs/MagicMirror-error.log, it complains the following:

ERROR! Could not find main module js file for calendars

Its not a show stopper but because the calendars folder is created in the modules folder this is why it is asking for a js file.

[sdetweil]

@assassins calendar is actually in the modules/default folder

[Assassins]

@sdetweil Yes i now, but i have do all the step, and this error come up

[sdetweil]

@assassins but u said the calendar folder was created. and its looking for the js file… so i think you didnt use the right folder

[Assassins]

@sdetweil The step to this synsc iCloud calendar is
mkdir /home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/calendars

[sdetweil]

@assassins is there supposed to be a script added to that folder?

[Assassins]

@sdetweil No, only the .ics to you Icloud Calendar

Went through all the steps in the tutorial (including the modification to set the .service file to point to where vdirsyncer really lives [Thanks @Beh !]). Everything works, except that my .ics files are empty (0 length). I saw a reference to this early in the forum comments, but the poster said they eventually started working with no reason for the change. Anyone have any ideas?

@ggfuzzy Where is that file? I’m too much of a noob to find it :D

Seems like I got to work again.

First of all, I installed vdirsyncer via
“sudo apt-get install vdirsyncer”,
and not using pip.

Second the command to start the systemd timer
systemctl --user enable vdirsyncer.timer
did not work at all. When typing
systemctl --user status vdirsyncer.timer
It always said the timer was dead. So I started it with its start command:
systemctl --user start vdirsyncer.timer

Third, I made the modification to vdirsyncer.service as suggested by @Beh
Run

which vdirsyncer

And remember the path. After, edit the vdirsyncer.service file

sudo nano /etc/systemd/user/vdirsyncer.service

Correct the right path after “ExecStart”. My .service file looks like this:

[Unit]
Description=Synchronize calendars and contacts
Documentation=https://vdirsyncer.readthedocs.org/

[Service]
ExecStart=/home/pi/.local/bin/vdirsyncer sync
RuntimeMaxSec=3m
Restart=on-failure

I get the the message:
Error in calendar module. Check logs for more details.

ERROR] Calendar Error. Could not fetch calendar: http://localhost:8080/modules/0505190Dxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.ics Error: Not Found
at NodeHelper.checkFetchStatus (/home/pi/MagicMirror/js/node_helper.js:121:9)

it would be awesome if somebody can help me.

modules/0505190Dxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.ics

where did the syncher put the ics file… cause its not there
ps, on linux/raspina all filenames are case sensitive

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules

ls -laF
to see the file list

[spor4]

@sdetweil
thank you very much. I moved the file to /modules and not it is working. Unfortunately now it says “no upcoming events.”

[sdetweil]

@spor4 that file should just be text

u can edit it
it should look like this layout

BEGIN:VCALENDAR
BEGIN:VEVENT
...
END:VEVENT
repeat for all events
END:VCALENDAR

[spor4]

@sdetweil sorry for asking stupid (total noob), I should edit the .ics file with the text editor into this?
If I do so it says Error in calendar module. Check logs for more details. again

BEGIN:VCALENDAR
BEGIN:VEVENT
…
END:VEVENT
repeat for all events
END:VCALENDAR

[sdetweil]

@spor4 no. you are going to look at the generated ics file and see if it contains the format I described

[spor4]

@sdetweil no it’s empty

[sdetweil]

@spor4 then thats why no events on the calendar…

so the syncher didn’t work correctly

now you need someone elses help on that problem
