default Calender Two calender with different update time

[Blackmirror]

Hello,

I’m having trouble with my garbage collection service blocking my calendar if I access the data more than once a day. However, I need frequent updates for entries with appointments and times. Can I configure the calendar so that it only updates once a day, while my Google Calendar continues to update every 5 minutes?

Thanks

@Blackmirror what is MMM-Calendar? the default calendar module?

what is your Google calendar?

Hello Sam,

yes the standard calender modul.

I mean the calender from my google account.
This one should be updated regularly, while the ic for my garbage collection only once a day. So, both require different update times.

@Blackmirror you can run multiple instances of the calendar with different refresh intervals…

@sdetweil

How?

The fetchinverall is only in the config menu not for the menu of the differnet calenders.

      module:"calendar",
       .
        .
              config:{
                       fetchInterval: yyyyyyy,
                      calendars: [
                                {
                                      url:"cal1"
                                 }
                        ]

                      calendars: [
                                {
                                      url:"cal2"
                                 }
                        ]
                }
},

@sdetweil

okay.

I was hoping there would be a solution to integrate this into a calendar

@Blackmirror for the default calendar, all calendars:[] in the list use the same fetchInterval.

you could use one of the other calendar modules that display a wall type
MMM-CalendarMonthly, MMM-CalendarExt3 (or its siblings, Agenda, Timeline,…),
or others… search calendar on the 3rd party module list linked in the header above

those modules collect results from the default calendar and present them in different formats

@Blackmirror i am wrong.

based on the code (not the doc)

you can have a unique fetchInterval by url to override the base config value

so you only need one calendar instance
