@magmar There is a product out called Screen Beam that does the same thing but instead of using AC wall sockets it uses your existing coax cable as an ethernet cable.
Those devices that send data over your AC copper wire have been out for a while but they’ve never really caught on.

@sdetweil I take advice anywhere I can find it. I just meant that I don’t need to just search on the MM 3rd Party module page that Github is also fertile ground.

@sdetweil I asked question because I learned way back that programs are VERY unforgiving when you put a period, colon, semicolon, anything out of place. you have no idea how often things like colons or semi-colons have whipped me for hours.

@sdetweil Any functional difference between updateInterval and fetchInterval

@sdetweil That was a good memory jogger because I had completely forgotten about the broken calendar issue.
I suspect I will go with a second calendar module like before

@sdetweil My issue was a bit more complicated.
My PRIMARY calendar is my phone but it is Samsungs built in calendar not Google calendar
I was hopping in and out Samsung, Google and Outlook although I don’t remember the sequence of hops.
I was dumbfounded that it even worked at the time.
One of those things where only so many minutes in the day so it was relegated to back burner status.

@sdetweil I had used a second calendar module to pull in my personal calendar information and was using the ical link that you can get off of Google if I remember correctly.
Sort of along the lines of using multiple weather modules for daily and hourly.

Then Google did something that broke the module. I fought with it for a while, gave up and have never tried to get it back running again.

@sdetweil Back when I first started messing with MM’s the calendar module was faulting out towards the end of that calendar year and it turned out that however many I had set as how many to show, say for example 5 holidays but at some point there were not 5 holidays left in the year but CL had not yet published the next years calandar.

My config.js is wanting 5 holes it needed to fill, there weren’t 5 holidays left so down it would go.

That calendar, because it is US Holidays, behaves like a photograph. It is static. There is no need to have it looking for changes like a volatile personal calendar that is going to change continuously.

US Holidays you could have a fetchInterval: ONCE EVERY 3 MONTHS and it would still be overkill. Some of your religious holidays like Easter float around because they aren’t date oriented. But even it has been calculated in advance
It doesn’t require the same level of refreshing as where someone is pulling in their personal Google or Outlook calendar where things like doctors appointments, dinner dates will change quite rapidly…

@ankonaskiff17 I meant the one where you use the version tag. Not the one that
alternative Installation methods is in . That pulls in the current version which is causing me problems with the ALT key

git clone -b v2.19.0 https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror.git mm2.19

I was unsure if git clone -b v2.19.0 https://github.com/... was going to install node.js, or PM2 so I did those portions of manual installation.

@sdetweil Used your script and worked like a charm. Didnt put in mm2.22 at end since I had no previous install.

Then did the various appropriate steps from the “official” manual install, like node and everything running as desired.
