3. iCloud calendar

iCloud calendar

  • B

    Hi there,

    At the moment my family is using Apple iClound calendar (family sharing). Now I would like to show this calendar on my mirror‘s screen.

    As this iCloud does not have an URL, I wanted to sync the content to gmail calendar. But, I did not find an automatically syncing solution.

    Next idea was to use IFTTT, but this only works for new appointments.

    I don‘t want to do this manually using Windows/macOS?
    Is there a way to show iCloud calendar under MagicMirror?

    @blebbens HI, of course iCloud has an url go to ur iCloud and set ur calender to public. It will give u an url that u can us for ex. in MMM-MyCalendar module. I do this since long time. The config will look like this:

            module: "MMM-MyCalendar",
        header: "Wos gibts?",
        position: "top_left",
	maximumEntries: 2,
        config:
        {
          colored: true,
          calendars:
          [
            {
              /* Geburtstage von fb ok */
              symbol: "birthday-cake",
              color: "#82E5AA",
              url: "webcal://www.facebook.com/ical/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
            },
            {
              /* Familie ok */
              symbol: "female",
              color: "yellow",
              url: "webcal://p27-calendars.icloud.com/published/xxxxxxxx"
            },
            {
              /* Roberts Kalender */
              symbol: "calendar",
              url: "https://p05-calendars.icloud.com/published/xxxxxxxx"
            },
            {
              /* Feiertage ok */
              symbol: "calendar-check-o",
              color: "green",
              url: "webcal://p05-calendarws.icloud.com/ca/subscribe/1/xxxxxxxxxxx"
            }
          ]
        }
      },

    of course i removed my real caledar data

    Ok, public does not mean other people can access it, just people with the secret URL?
    Where did you set your family calendar public?
    Do you use 2 factor authentification?

    Thanks, it is working…

    But, I am wondering… I don´t need auth, because it is public…
    Thought, I have to set it public for accessing it with mm-modules ?
    Where do you use 2FA ?
