Sorry if I shouldn’t put this here, but I wanted to show a quick tutorial to link up a google calendar to your mirror. So, here it is…

How to link up a google calendar account

1. Access google calendars and go to settings

2. At the top go to the Calendars tab

3. Select the calendar with your google name on it

4. On the new page find the Calendar Address tab

5. Click on ICAL to the right

6. Copy the link
   7.Find your Config.js file under /MagicMirror/config

7. Scroll down to your calendar module or make a new calendar module by copying and pasting the old module or making changes to the current calendar module

8. Side note: the modules will display in the order you put them in so whatever module you want displayed first will have to go before the other calendar modules

9. Input the link and make your new module look like this
   {
   module: ‘calendar’,
   header: ‘Personal Calender’,
   position: ‘top_left’,
   config: {
   calendars: [
   {
   symbol: 'calendar-check-o ',
   url: ‘insert link here’
   }
   ]
   }
   },

10. Then save and exit and now you have a google calendar linked to your mirror

Again a small side not make sure that the spacing is correct else you might make an irreparable error. But, as always make a copy of the config before you change it. Hope you guys have fun with this.

OHHHHHHHHHH… yep I get it now thank you so much for the help and for the speedy response your mirror creation is the best.

To anyone wondering how to switch the calendar to month mode here is a few images.

Main calendar:

And where you switch it:

Please note that it might not work the first time in that case either try again and reload the page or try again and go to settings and save the calendar.

@KirAsh4 I keep my calendar in month mode because it makes sure that events don’t delete halfway through a day and when in month mode it prevents a glitch from occurring. In that glitch on the mirror itself events will be assigned random times, in my case the newest event would be assigned 4:00 am and then each event after that would increase by the hour to 5:00 and so on. There is also an occurrence that events will randomly delete themselves from the actual mirror, not the online calendar, so putting this in month mode will cause them to remove themselves, or stop displaying, on the mirror at 12:00 o’clock midnight the day that they were assigned. It is certainly not necessary but I would do it because it take just a few seconds.

Hey guys sorry I’ve been away so I haven’t seen all these posts but I would recommend putting the calendar in monthly mode so events to disappear prematurely.

I had that same problem. The time in the top right is the time when the sun “officially” sets at your location.

Okay a bit later and I found this:
http://electron.atom.io/docs/api/

I don’t know if it will help or if I should use anything on it so if you have any knowledge of this please advise.

I would like to see if anyone can help me make an API for my mirror. They purpose would be to trigger different layouts of my mirror based off of a terminal or an SSH. I was told it was doable (https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/33/facial-recognition-customize-your-mirror-for-every-user/14) but honestly I have no idea how to do it. If anyone can help me I would love the help.

Note from admin: Please use descriptive titles! Changed it for you.

Okay I’ll look into it.

Okay sorry about that.

My first question is if I would be able to switch out layouts via a command in the Pi’s terminal or via an ssh. And, my second, if I can change layouts from a terminal, is how I would go about making the different layouts.

Okay thank you guys I’ll have to look into it.

Whatever it is it’s awesome. Good on you man.
