Microsoft To-Do (wunderlist replacement?)

joela85

So it looks like Microsoft are starting to replace Wunderlist with Microsoft To Do.

Wondering if anyone has seen a new module for this?
Would like to replace my Wunderlist with this if they’re going to switch off Wunderlist.

It looks like you should be able to use “Outlook Task REST API reference (version 2.0)” for it. But I don’t know enough about programming to make the module myself.

I will look into it the next days. Benefits of using To Do from Microsoft is the easy migration from Wunderlist and very similar look and feel.

I created a new module for Microsoft To Do at https://github.com/thobach/MMM-MicrosoftToDo. The migration from Wunderlist to Microsoft To Do was quite seamless.

@joela85 @binderth @D90 Could you please test it and provide me some feedback? Thanks!

I implemented it today and it works like a charm! Thank you very much!
Is it possible to sort the tasks in different ways?
Can I set the alignment to left side in the right side panel? Maybe in CSS?

Nevermind, found it out for myself :smiling_face:
You just need to add this in custom.css and it works:

.MMM-MicrosoftToDo .module-content {
    text-align: left;
}

@thobach thanks for your effort!
I just migrated my wunderlist to ToDo (which went flawlessly) and now I’d like to authenticate ToDo as you described on github.

first: I think, the URL is broken (spaces here: https://github.com/thobach/MMM-MicrosoftToDo#authorization-code-generation-code).
only after replacing the whitespaces with “%20” it worked and I got the code.

after that - I got all the info - but still no entries.

logfile-out:

[22:22:45.809] [LOG]    Connecting socket for: MMM-MicrosoftToDo
[22:22:45.811] [LOG]    MMM-MicrosoftToDo helper started ...

but the mirror only shows “Lade Einträge…” (loading entries).

apart from getting it to work, in what intervals does the module refreshs on the list? and could you also implement the “fade-option”? looks just cool! ;)

@binderth This is the problem I had first too. Had a c&p error in one of the tokens. Just do it again, for me it worked because I received other codes and now it loads everything.

@ThaliaFromPrussia jepp, did that (the client_id and stuff stays the same, but code regenerates. or did you delete your App as a whole?

ThaliaFromPrussia

@binderth From the point with Azure on, including a new client ID.

the refresh time is very fast. You set up a new task and within a few seconds it appeares on the screen.
