      Hi everyone,

      I’m kind of new to MagicMirror, and have been spending the past five hours today setting up and configuring, googling whatever I couldn’t get to work etc., and I’m now left with three issues I can’t solve:

      • list itemOne:
        sunset.png [link text](link url)
        Times should be set correctly, as well as physical location, but still magicmirror insists that sunrise is at 15:27 and sunset is 03:12, neither of which are true. Sunrise is 6:30 and sunset is around 18:00 these days.

      • list itemTwo:
        plusthree.png
        These events all start on the whole hour in my calendar, but here all start at three minutes past, and I’ve no idea why.

      • list itemThree:
        No photo, sorry, it revealed a lot from my calendar. But I’ve set symbols from font awesome in the calendar module, but of my four calendars, only one is getting the symbols. I haven’t been able to find much information about assigning symbols, so it’s hard for me to figure out what’s wrong.

      Thank you, I hope some of you can help with any of my issues.

      All the best,
      Vilhelm

        @vildhjelm item 1

        the clock takes info from the system setting for timezone

        item 2, show me an entry from the ics file.

        u can download it like this

        curl -sL cal_url > somefile.txt
        

        then edit somefile.txt

        u can change any text you consider private, just leave the times alone

        BEGIN:VEVENT
        ...
        END:VEVENT
        

        item 3

        can u show the calendar config from config.js…
        u can xxx out the urls, don’t change anything else.

        {
          module:"calendar",
        .
        .
        .
        }

          Thank you for replying 😊.

          Item 1: It’s set correctly though, to Copenhagen. It gets the time right, so it knows where it is (so to speak).

          Item 2:
          Here’s an example, because the full document was ~40 000 lines long:
          BEGIN:VEVENT
          DTEND;TZID=Europe/Copenhagen:20220314T165500
          DTSTAMP:20220314T181224Z
          DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Copenhagen:20220314T160000
          LOCATION: removed
          SEQUENCE:0
          SUMMARY:TRX
          TRANSP:OPAQUE
          UID:0742E3B1-9CB7-413A-B849-2B7CE152932E
          END:VEVENT

          Item 3:
          The symbol only works for the first calendar, the horse-head.
          {
          symbol: “fa-solid fa-horse-head”,
          url: “address”
          },
          {
          symbol: “fa-solid fa-people”,
          url: “address”
          },
          {
          symbol: “fa-brands fa-firefox-browser”,
          url: “address”
          },
          {
          symbol: “fa-solid fa-church”,
          url: “address”
          },

          Thank you so much!

            @vilhelmr item 3, “fa-people”

            Screenshot at 2022-03-14 22-39-25.png

            item 2

            is that a repeating event, or lots of singles…

            I see the correct time.

            item 1, add the debug to the config to capture the log

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

            and then npm start >somefile.txt

            and ctrl-break after the MM screen and cal comes up…

            u can send the file to me,. same userid at gmail.

                Neither fa-solid fa-person-half-dress nor fa-brands fa-firefox-browser are showing up 😕. They’re both registered as free. Is there something else I should be aware of?

                The other issues I’ve learned to live with 🤷‍♂️, by not having sunrise/sunset and by using a different calendar-formatting.

                  @vilhelmr weather takes sunrise/set from the location you configured for weather…

                  clock in utc+1, weather location in Austin TX
                  for example

                    @vilhelmr for icons I would look in the developers window, ctrl-shift-i, console tab, for any errors.

                    filter on calendar, by putting unique part of module name in filter field (cal for example)

                      I managed to get unique icons for each calendar, through trial and error with font awesome. Not all “free” fonts are supported, I think “brands” aren’t.
                      Do you know, if I can set icons that I’ve stored locally? There are a lot on the noun project that would be excellent :).

                        i do not know myself, but I would think you could

                        <img icon="68" src="/img/emoji/U263a.ico" alt=":-)" />
                        

                        the base for MM web server is MagicMirror, so

                        src="/modules/{modulename}/{sub_folder}/{filename}"
                        

                        replace {} with the appropriate name, if any
