Read the statement by Michael Teeuw here.
Easy setup not so easy?
-
@1lolo94 loading is the default message while the module waits for data.
weather for openweather is a pain in the rear.
they have changed key types, called version.
the module requires a new Parm
apiVersion:"3.0",none are free anymore… openweathermap requires a credit card. altho low usage can be free of charges.
and most modules don’t handle errors well
-
@sdetweil would you or anyone recommend any calendar (that works with Google calendar) or weather modules that work as of today?
Not trying to be a pain, just frustrated 😔
-
@1lolo94 they work, just have to get the right API key
calendar, what is wrong w the default?
then there are others that display like a wall calendar
MMM-MonthlyCalendar
MMM-CalendarExt3both get their info from the default calendar
you may need to install the older parser
cd~/MagicMirror npm install node-ical@0.16.1 -
@sdetweil Thanks for the response. I would like integrate our shared google calendar - i will look at these again and report back.
Thanks
-
@1lolo94 the owner/creator of the calendar has to provide the url.
-
@sdetweil gotcha! I have that and tried the MMM-CalendarExt3 - filled everything out correctly and it’s sitting on a white screen doing nothing for 5 min now :(
-
@1lolo94 it gets its events from the default calendar. so you configure the url over there, right?
-
@sdetweil that’s correct… I had to manually shut down the unit because it was stuck on the white screen
-
@1lolo94 first thing is to get default cal to display events
dont use pm2 while changing config
-
@sdetweil just an update… i sent my model 3 back because it was unusable, even with a SSD USB installed.
I am currently using a 4 model and holy cow what a difference. I plan on installing tonight - stay tuned!
