My code with the changes based on your feedback (and it seems to be working for now) Thank you!

I talked too fast, I pressed submit and the issue came back :anxious_face_with_sweat:

By your configuration;

It will be refreshed every refreshInterval by force. You’ve set up 10 minutes.
It will be refreshed after 10 seconds(waitFetch) of the last calendar parsed. a more frequent parsing of your calendar would be a more frequent updating view. If your 5 calendars finish their parsing in 10 seconds together, the view will be updated once. Meanwhile parsing your 5 calendars would take dozen seconds sequentially, the view will be flickering. In that case, set waitFetch longer.

Anyway, I’ll release more improved version for frequent CALENDAR_EVENTS in a few days. Plz wait a little.

Hi again,

I read I did not have to do anything to get the weather displayed, however I still don’t see it. Any idea why?

MMRIZE

@luisestrada
Displaying the weather icon is an experimental feature. It would be applied from the next version of MagicMirror (ver 2.20) which will be released the next July.

At this moment(with the current MagicMirror 2.19), you can try like this;

cd MagicMirror // Your MM installed directory
git pull // to update latest version. If your MM was quite old, you might need additional command `npm install`
git checkout develop // Change the branch to develop version.

You don’t need this method after July.

@MMRIZE if they used my script to install they need a different command

@MMRIZE I may prefer to wait until July then. :smiling_face_with_smiling_eyes:

And thank you so much for the recent update. Now the calendar works perfectly, no blinking and no black calendar as before. Works perfectly

Hi, I’m using CalendarExt2 with the MMM-CalendarExtPlan Plugin. This totaly fits my needs with having several calendars next to each other with different type of information for the upcoming days. Currently it looks like this is not possible with CalendarExt3, right?
Is CalendarExt2 not going to be maintained anymore in the near future?

Thanks for the great work btw,!

Thanks for using CX2. I think it is an almost-perfect module which I made. However, some people feel so difficult to use it. So I made a new one, CX3

While CX2 is enough for your purpose, just use it until you find a better alternative.
Anyway, I will not maintain it in near future. The most main reason is, that it is too heavy and severely dependent on other node-dependencies.

For the ExtPlan (and agenda view), I will provide an equivalent module for CX2 someday.

Hope you mean CX3 ;)
Will wait until its done and closely monitor the evolution of CX3. Thanks again for your contribution, really good work!
