      That sounds good for me. Does it work with reminders on the same way?

        @Doubleve Hmmm…

        Maybe you have to allow your localhost address to the MagicMirror ipWhiteList option in your config. Just add ipWhitelist: ["127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1"], to your config right before the modules option. Maybe the calendar module can not access the .ics file if this is not allowed…

          @l0cal Yes this should work.

          Just add "VTODO" to the item_types array in your vdirsyncer config as described in the vdirsyncer docs here: https://vdirsyncer.pimutils.org/en/stable/config.html?highlight=VEVENT#storage-caldav.

              I have a question

              So far I managed to sync one calendar from one iCloud account, but I would like to sync also a second calendar from a second iCloud account, is this possible?

              Thanks
              Ricardo

                Hey @ribermon!

                Yes, this should be possible. You just have to add another configuration scheme for your second icloud account to the vdirsyncer config. I didn’t try it, but something like that should work:

                # vdirsyncer configuration for MagicMirror.
                #
                # Move it to ~/.vdirsyncer/config or ~/.config/vdirsyncer/config and edit it.
                # Run `vdirsyncer --help` for CLI usage.
                #
                # Optional parameters are commented out.
                # This file doesn't document all available parameters, see
                # http://vdirsyncer.pimutils.org/ for the rest of them.
                
                [general]
                # A folder where vdirsyncer can store some metadata about each pair.
                status_path = "~/.vdirsyncer/status/"
                
                # CALDAV Sync for iCloud 1
                [pair iCloud1_to_MagicMirror]
                a = "Mirror_iCloud1"
                b = "iCloud1"
                collections = ["HERE-GOES-THE-UUID-OF-THE-CALENDAR-YOU-WANT-TO-SYNC"]
                
                # Calendars also have a color property
                metadata = ["displayname", "color"]
                
                [storage Mirror_iCloud1]
                # We need a single .ics file for use with the mirror (Attention! This is really slow on big amounts of events.)
                type = "singlefile"
                # We'll put the calendar file to a readable location for the calendar module
                path = "/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/calendars/%s.ics"
                
                [storage iCloud1]
                type = "caldav"

                password = "HERE-GOES-YOUR-APP-SPECIFIC-ICLOUD-PASSWORD"
                # We only want to sync in the direction TO the mirror, so we make iCloud readonly
                read_only = true
                # We only want to sync events
                item_types = ["VEVENT"]
                # We need to keep the number of events low, so we'll just sync the next month

                      @ribermon No I have no idea. But since this is actually a vdirsyncer-problem and has nothing to do with the mirror itself, I suggest you dig the vdirsyncer-Documentation:

                      https://vdirsyncer.pimutils.org/en/stable/

                        Hi Beh

                        Sorry if I´m too newbie… I´m following your step-by step and I get stuck in one place…

                        When creating a config file, I type:

                         touch ~/.vdirsyncer/config
                        

                        and I get:
                        Can´t do ‘touch’ on ‘/home/pi.vdirsyncer/config’: The file or directory doesn´t exist

                        What am I doing wrong?

                        Thanks.
