MMM-CalDAV

CalDav broker for MagicMirror

Concept & Motivation

Some CalDAV server doesn’t provide ICAL format, so it cannot be used with MM’s calendar modules.

This module enables MM to convert your CalDAV calendar data into the popular ICAL(.ics) file. Converted ICAL output is hosted on MM itself.

It has no screenshot

Configuration

{
  module: "MMM-CalDAV",
  config: {
    name: "company",
    serverUrl: "http://gw.mycomp.com/principals/users/eouia0819@gmail.com",
    credentials: {
      username: "eouia0819@gmail.com",
      password: "myPassWord!@#$",
    },
    vcalendarHeader: false
  }
},

// If you want additional extra CalDAV connection, just describe it once more. (or multiple times as you need.)
{
  module: "MMM-CalDAV",
  config: {
    name: "homenas",
    serverUrl: "http://mynas.synology.me:5000/caldav/eouia",
    credentials: {
      username: "eouia",
      password: "AnotherPassword!@#$",
    },
    calendarFilter: ["My Calendar", "School Schedule"]
  }
},

Then it will provide the ICAL URL like;

https://localhost:8080/CALDAV/company.ics
https://localhost:8080/CALDAV/homenas.ics

You can use this URL for your calendar modules.

@mmrize Thanks for the reply!! I put in the code, and put the following into my config.txt:

   	{
   		module: "MMM-CalDAV",
   		possition: "top right",
   		config: {
   		name: "gregcal",
   			serverUrl: "https://full.candev.url.com",
   			credentials: {
   				username: "---------------",
   				password: "-------------",
   			},
   		}
   	},
   	{
   		module: "calendar",
   		header: "Gregs Calendar",
   		position: "top_right",
   		config: {
   			colored: true,
   			calendars: [
   				{
   				url: "https://localhost:8080/CALDAV/gregcal.ics",
   				symbol: 'check',
   				},
   			]
   		}
   	},

MMM-CalDAV reports on the screen:
module_6_MMCalDAV and no calendar information is displayed. Also opening https://MMMip:8080/CALDAV/gregcal.ics does not open anything either.

Any hints?

@gregorywest did u make a ~/MagicMirror/CALDAV folder?

GregoryWest

@sdetweil DOH always the easy stuff I miss… will try tonight

GregoryWest

@gregorywest OK Put CALDAV folder inside the ~/MagicMirror folder. Still get the same error messages on the MMM screen. When I try and web browse into the ics file I get a connection refused error. Is it possible I have a firewall causing me issues?

sdetweil

@gregorywest browse from where?

the default settings in mm are only apps INSIDE the mm machine can connect

so,

change the address and ipWhitelist options in config.js

address:"0.0.0.0",
ipWhitelist:[],

this allows any computer, phone,… on your local network to connect to the mm system

also, by default, mm is NOT https enabled, so the the calendar url should be http://

GregoryWest

@gregorywest created the CALDAV folder. put in the folder a copy of my ics file. This ics file is now being displayed. the problem still remain that MMM_CalDAV does not seem to be updating the ics file at all. still have the module6 message on my screen.

sdetweil

@gregorywest ok looking at the code, I led u astray…

the module generates the file, but presents it when called at the /CALDAV/???.ics url

so, remove the CALDAV folder, but leave that url in the calendar module config

and it should work. there is a bug in the doc, as the url server is set on http, but the doc says https

GregoryWest

@sdetweil really confused now. you need the /CALDAV/ folder removed. leathe the config.js as it is?

sdetweil

@gregorywest yes, the module creates a server at /CALDAV, and when the calendar module uses that URL, this module returns an ICS file. live… (same as if you had been using a google calendar)

this is different than the other converters that dump a file in a folder.
