<![CDATA[(2.1.0) Calendar will broadcast events.]]>Starting from MagicMirror² v2.1.0 (currently in develop stage) the default calendar module will broadcast all the events to all other modules with the notification message: CALENDAR_EVENTS. The event objects are stored in an array and contain the following fields: title, startDate, endDate, fullDayEvent, location and geo.

Since this feature is still in the develop branch, it’s not final and might change. Suggestions are welcome.

I had (what I believe to be) the exact same request and I got it working with this.

My question was how do I pass along a variable from Calendar to another module.

Well, not exactly, young man. :-/

Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed! Geez! What a hostile community. Nice to feel welcome for my first post!

Your module will receive a CALENDAR_EVENTS notification, with a payload which is an array of calendar events objects with the following attributes: title, startDate, endDate, fullDayEvent, location and geo.

You can make your own module, or modify an existing one. MMM-Traffic will display Google Maps directions to a given destination. You can override its receiveNotification function to (1) sort the payload to find the soonest event, (2) decide if there’s an event in the next 2 hours, and (3) display directions to the destination using the location or geo coordinates.

Remember, you’ll need to populate those fields when creating your event entries, and you may also need to provide a hint (e.g. “Colombus, OH”) to Google so it knows which “Olive Garden” or “Municipal Library” you’re looking for.

There are a few modules that do that although it depends on where you are. Find the one that suits you, if it’s there.

Thanks for all your hard work! How would I use this to calculate my commute time in a different module? Is there an example? Thank you.
