      @sdetweil okay, I went through and changed my original calendar to make sure all events were in the correct time zone, but I was able to make a test event that was the same as the example. If I am understanding correctly, you want me to add // immediately in front of the “if (event.start…” as well as the second set of brackets at the end, two lines down from the “Log.debug…” line, around about lines 348 and 376?

      I did try this, both with the system time zone in Edmonton, and Vancouver. Both resulted in the event still displaying on the 22nd.
      I may have misunderstood what you were asking though as I am very new to this, and have no previous experience with javascript, aside from what I have been able to learn in the last few weeks setting this up.

      One other aside, I have also noticed that all day events are being displayed correctly ahead of time, as well as day of- however the day after the event is scheduled it will remain, and display as an event scheduled that day. (example event will show in 2 days, 2 days ahead of time, ends in x hours on day of, but also shows ends in x hours 1 day after event was scheduled). Is this related to the same type of timezone issues as the original?

        @flyedge there are two instances of the if( and } that need to be commented out (//) right?

        total of 4 lines (2 sets of 2)

        1st one is for all day events
        2nd one is for NOT full day events (which is what your event is , as it has time as well)

          Hey @sdetweil, I am experiencing the same issue and made the changes as you motioned, but now I am getting an error for the calendar module, and the module is not loaded, if I revert the module loads and work as expected, any ideas?

          Config Change

          } else { 
          								// if the timezones are the same, correct date if needed
          //								if (event.start.tz === moment.tz.guess()) {
          									// if the date hour is less than the offset
          									if (24 - dh < Math.abs(dateoffset / 60)) {
          										// apply the correction to the date/time back to right day
          										date = new Date(date.getTime() + Math.abs(24 * 60) * 60000);
          										// the duration was calculated way back at the top before we could correct the start time..
          										// fix it for this event entry
          										//duration = 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000;
          										Log.debug("new recurring date2 is " + date);
          									}
          //								}
          							}
          						} else {
          							// not full day, but luxon can still screw up the date on the rule processing
          							// we need to correct the date to get back to the right event for
          							if (dateoffset < 0) {
          								// if the date hour is less than the offset
          								if (dh < Math.abs(dateoffset / 60)) {
          									// Reduce the time by the offset:
          									// Apply the correction to the date/time to get it UTC relative

          									// fix it for this event entry

            you don’t change config, you are changing the module source code, right?

                    I can share that calendar with you if it makes it easier for you to test.

                          @coolie1101 it directs the output of the command (npm start) to a file (somefile.txt)

                          this is normal file output redirection, same as on windows

                          the normal MM startup output looks like this

                              @sdetweil Maybe I’m executing it in the wrong order, do i need to “pm2 start mm” and then do “npm start >somefile.txt”? eitherway, there isn’t error log entries for calendar.

                                      Got it, I edited the “calendarutils.js” file again and restarted, no error or calendar entries in log, but the display is the same.

                                        edit config.js and change

                                        	logLevel: ["INFO", "LOG", "WARN", "ERROR"]
                                        

                                        to
                                        this
