@nitewing76 Perfect thanks for the info! Sounds like that should make her happy and let me keep this up in the house :grinning_face_with_sweat:

Got CalendarExt2 up and running without a hitch. Hoping there’s a way to show a second month right next to it. Any ideas?

I set mine up to display weekly format, 6 weeks, starting with the current week. So, 50% of the time it will actually display more “future” days than what you are wanting to do. Would that help?

@rmcelwee Yep that’s what I ended up going with after messing around with it some

Hi again all. I was messing around with this and reading more of the documentation and came across a nice solution for my previous post (kind of on accident). I have this:

views: [
 {
   position: "bottom_left",
   mode: "month",
 },
 {
   position: "bottom_right",
   mode: "month",
   fromNow: "1",
 },
],

In short it shows you the current month on the left, and the next month on the right. Works perfect for our needs!

Anyone know the transform function rather well?

I want to change the name on my calendar items from the actual title, to a generic “Appointment”.

I’m pretty sure it’s a transform, I’m just not sure how to do it.

Thanks!

I’m trying to have a ‘daily’ view where in the morning it shows all of the items for today, and in the evening it shows all of the items for tomorrow. I know i have to make two different ‘views’ and two different ‘scenes’, but what i am struggling with is how to actually change them. I saw in the github that you can do this either on a set period with the ‘rotateInterval’ command but also with a notification or other trigger. How would i go about doing so with the notification or other trigger? Any documentation out there about that?

Thanks,
Devin

Well i ended up figuring out how to do this a couple hours after this post, so i figured I would share in case anyone else wanted to do the same. I used MMM-ModuleScheduler. Basically you can set certain times to send out a notification that MMM-CalendarExt2 recognizes. Heres my config:

{
	module: "MMM-ModuleScheduler",
	config: {
		notification_schedule: [
			{
				notification: "CALEXT2_SCENE_CHANGE",
				schedule: "0 12 * * *",  //Schedule time based on crontab.guru
				payload: {
					type: "name",
					key: "Afternoon Scene"
				}
			},
			{
				notification: "CALEXT2_SCENE_CHANGE",
				schedule: "0 0 * * *",  //Schedule time based on crontab.guru
				payload: {
					type: "name",
					key: "Morning Scene"
				}
			}
		]
	}
}

You can set up as many scheduled notifications as you’d like. You can see here that, based on crontab scheduling, I am set up to change the scene at Midnight and at noon. The payload key value is the name of the scene you’d like to switch to. You can see other options on CalExt2 notifications here.

I’d like to see a picture of what this looks like.

Hi, i have a problem with my scanInterval I want it to update every 2 hours but it keeps updating every minute. (disappears for one second)
I already tried different time formats but it didn’t work.
Thanks,
Luke
