<p dir="auto">I noticed when I input a new appointment in my Google Calendar via my Smart phone, the refresh on MM is slow and could hardly appear on the MM.</p>
<p dir="auto">But if I input the appointment via my google web login, the update can be as fast as 1 min.</p>
<p dir="auto">Question:</p>
<ol>
<li>Why does my smart phone took so long to update my Google calendar?</li>
<li>Where can I change the refresh rate in MM?</li>
</ol>
<p dir="auto">Thanks</p>

<pre><code>modules: [
...
{
    module: "clock",
    position: "top_left"
},
{
    module: "calendar",
    header: "US Holidays",
    position: "top_left",
    config: {
        calendars: [ {
	    symbol: "calendar-check-o ",
            url: "webcal://www.calendarlabs.com/templates/ical/US-Holidays.ics"
        } ]
    }
},
...
]
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">You have to put the <code>fetchInterval</code> setting into the <code>config</code> setting section of the calendar module. The result would look like this (just typing the calendar module’s part for simplicity):</p>
<pre><code>{
    module: "calendar",
    header: "US Holidays",
    position: "top_left",
    config: {
        fetchInterval: 1000 * 60 * 1,
        calendars: [ {
	    symbol: "calendar-check-o ",
            url: "webcal://www.calendarlabs.com/templates/ical/US-Holidays.ics"
        } ]
    }
},
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">The value <code>60 * 1000 * 1</code> retrieves the calendar from the source (see parameter <code>url</code>) every minute. Please note that the interval time value is given in milliseconds according to the documentation. When you pick a value make sure that your fetching is not too aggressiv. Too frequent syncs take bandwidth on your network, increases CPU load on Raspberry Pi, and there might be limitation enforced by the calendar provider.</p>

<p dir="auto">According to the doc “To use this module, add it to the modules array in the config/config.js file”, may I know the module should be added under which section?</p>
<p dir="auto">Appreciate your guidance.</p>
