Sync private iCloud calendar with MagicMirror

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.

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.)

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 :)

Last issue resolved

So my issue not really an issue just me expecting something different than what i got when i ran vdirsyncer discovery

So the example on page 1 looks like this

Mirror:
iCloud:
  - "25CB285C-E163-4E0E-B420-C3FB469B7C00" ("Calendar 1")
  - "9221FEE8-E8B4-4D07-9402-8638529919EC" ("Calendar 2")
  - "953A5477-E405-4ED6-A5C3-473444EACC95" ("Calendar 3")
warning: No collection "9221FEE8-E8B4-4D07-9402-8638529919EC" found for storage Mirror.
Should vdirsyncer attempt to create it? [y/N]:

With all the Calendars having a string for UUID E.G. 9221FEE8-E8B4-4D07-9402-8638529919EC

And this is what i got

pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ vdirsyncer discover
Discovering collections for pair iCloud_to_MagicMirror
Mirror:
iCloud:
  - "tasks" ("Reminders")
  - "9221FEE8-E8B4-4D07-9402-8638529919EC" ("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]:

Now what i didn’t know was that i did get a return of UUID for each Calendar
(Reminders) UUID is "tasks"
(Calendar) UUID is "9221FEE8-E8B4-4D07-9402-8638529919EC"
(Home Calendar) UUID is "home"

Hope this helps other people in the future.
took me a bit of digging around.

paddyhughes,

Had the exact same issue.

Had one calendar called “worK”, all the rest had the long UUID names.

I keep looking for the “work” calendar, of course it’s UUID was “work”.

Put that in and now it works.

Some lessons are learned the hard way.
