Yes. Just type these commands as given:

touch ~/.vdirsyncer/config
nano ~/.vdirsyncer/config

I’m also interrested on this solution to display reminders on this way, but It dosen’t work actually for me.
Do you have a running configuration

maestro82

Two run two calendars, would I need to adjust config.js file as well?

Thanks

Gailby

@Beh I had no problem adding several modules of same kind and several .ics files in Calendars…however it doesn’t seem to sync or retrieve anything…only says no upcomming events :/

ganther

@Gailby
Is your ics-file in modules/calendars also 0kb?

Gailby

@ganther I don’t know…I need to check

Gailby

Doesn’t seem like they are empty in KB. However the first file has rw–r–r-- and the others only rw------ don’t know if these permissions affects the none fetching of data

@maestro82 So I was able to get through the tutorial with no errors, all files discovered and synced. But when I run MagicMirror calendar says “Loading…” and never loads. I have changed interval to 5min in timer file. Any advise to troubleshoot?

Thanks,

Gailby

@Gailby @ganther @Beh the ics files doesn’t seem to sync in Calendars… all files are empty. Have anyone resolved this?

Beh

Hey Guys, I’m sorry I can’t help you right now.
I currently have my examination period at my university. So I’m super busy right now… I’ll be able to help in a week or so…

ganther

@Gailby no, same behavior here.

@beh Thank you and good luck for your exams.

Solved this issue by using “http:” not “https:” in calendar url but now my calendar shows no events. I looked into the actual “modules/calendars/****.ics” file and it contains multiple events. Any suggestions?

ganther

@maestro82
Did you check your calendar-url in conf/config.js?

My calendar is running now correctly. Don‘t know why but now my ics-file isn‘t empty anymore.

maestro82

So . . . . . . restarted the mirror and now it works. Moving on to adding other calendars, wish us luck.

So I have three separate calendars linked to ical, running on my magic mirror. I see events from all three calendars, but many events are missing. Any ideas?

You are probably limiting the number of calendar items shown in your calendar config. (IDK what is the default, but perhaps only 10-15 which for 3 cals can be easily overloaded.)

maestro82

I have several reoccurring events on the same day, only one of each event is showing up. The number of events is set at 10 but it is going out at least 4 months with that set. It should only go out about 3 weeks with 10 events listed. I’ll try raising the number of events and limiting the time.

Hi

So i am getting stuck with this and don’t know how to fix the issue.
The UUID is beside my Calendar and in my iCloud this is my default one.
but the one i want to use is home (Home Calendar) but No UUID shows up
same goes for the work one.

The only one i am interested in is the Home Calendar

pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ vdirsyncer discover
Discovering collections for pair iCloud_to_MagicMirror
Mirror:
iCloud:
  - "tasks" ("Reminders")
  - "AE********-E**4-4D**-A**4-*****************" ("Calendar")
  - "home" ("Home Calendar")
  - "work" ("Work")
warning: No collection "HERE-GOES-THE-UUID-OF-THE-CALENDAR-YOU-WANT-TO-SYNC" found for storage Mirror.
Should vdirsyncer attempt to create it? [y/N]:

Thanks for any help given :)
