Google Calendars Timezone Off-By-One Hour

lksdf978

Ever since Daylight Savings Time (EDT) ended, the time for any events created in Google Calendar are being set back one hour. The events display correctly in Google Calendar, iOS, and on the desktop, but MagicMirror seems to assume it needs to roll back the times. I have attempted using older versions of MagicMirror (back to 2.10.0) and I am currently sitting on the develop branch, each without luck. I would appreciate any and all assistance and/or advice the community has to give. I will also be willing to help troubleshoot any way that I can.

Thank you in advance!

@sdetweil I am currently running on the develop branch. I did forget to run npm install, but that did not change anything after restarting the mirror again. The weird thing is, not all events are an hour off. What should I look for?

lksdf978

@sdetweil FWIW, deleting and re-creating the event seems to work; hopefully this won’t be a recurring thing when the time changes again.

If you still wish to troubleshoot, I’m ready and available.

@lksdf978 did u save the prior event?

I would like to see the info in the ics file ( it’s just text)

I will be away from my system til next sat 14th.

Here is the beginning of the ics (before the first event), and one of the events that are off-by-one:

@lksdf978 great thanks. I think this is the rrrule problem. the fix is waiting to be merged.

sdetweil

@lksdf978 the latest fixes have been merged into the develop branch. you can git pull to refresh them. npm install again to get the latest node-ical update too

put that entry back in an ics file in the calendar module folder to test

lksdf978

My apologies for the late response, but I just pulled down develop, did an npm install, and reloaded MagicMirror. The issue still persists. I even went so far as deleting node_modules and reinstalling just in case. I did check the git log to be sure the changes in node_ical version was present, and it is. Any other ideas?

sdetweil

@lksdf978 still waiting for one fix to be accepted
