This module is great!

Our MM sits on our office desk as a family info system. We listen to Spotify playlists so this module is great for showing which track is playing - in fact, one family member outright complained after I rebuilt the MM and forgot to include this module again!

I see that this module makes DNS requests every second - I’m watching the tail of my pi-hole log. Is there any way to reduce the number of network requests, particularly when the module is idle?

Thanks :)

@sdetweil Great, that sorted things nicely!

How ever did I miss that in the config instructions… :astonished_face:

This fix worked for me too, so thanks very much.

Also, showRainAmount: “false” does not work - i still see mm rain forecast against each day.

This is all a little disappointing as up until the recent upgrade, ‘weatherforecast’ was working perfectly.

And BTW, in trying to resolve the problem with ‘weatherforecast’, before coming to this thread, I also tried the ‘weather’ module, the replacement for ‘currentweather’ and ‘weatherforecast’. I couldn’t get that to work in ‘forecast’ mode, only in ‘current’ mode. The module just displays ‘Loading…’.

Ho-hum…

Hi,

Using weatherforecast module, I have several issues:

• forecast seems to be using the wrong system time - the first entry seems to be 12hrs behind (it’s currently 6am on a Saturday, but first entry shows ‘Fri’); my system time is set correctly.
• only six days show in the forecast (but maxNumberOfDays = “8”)
• rain amount forecast shows (but showRainAmount = “false”)

My config.js excerpt is as follows:

{
                        module: "weatherforecast",
                        position: "top_left",
                        header: "Weather Forecast",
                        config: {
                                roundTemp: "true",
                                showRainAmount: "false",
                                maxNumberOfDays: "8",
                                initialLoadDelay: "2500",
                                scale: "true",
                                location: "XXXX",
                                locationID: "XXXX",
                                appid: "XXXX"
                        }

Any pointers greatly appreciated.

Thanks very much.

Thanks - I was stupidly omitting the ‘,’ after the ‘{’

Re: Calendar module shows only today's appointments

Hi,

I’m still struggling with this which I thought was solved.

My calendar regularly updates from a locally (and regularly) downloaded .ics file, and shows a school timetable comprising 2-weekly reccuring lessons.

As the day progresses, rather than the calendar list ‘scrolling’ through lessons, the calendar list slowly empties. Then overnight, the calendar loads all events for the coming day, then repeats the same behaviour.

I have a second calendar running that does NOT have recurring events and its behaviour is as expected - it always has ten entries which just ‘scroll’ as they come and go.

Do others still see this issue? Or is it something specific to my configuration do you think?

@sdetweil

Thanks Sam, I’ll mark this as solved.

@sdetweil

Thanks very much for the reply.

Is it with the current version then, as i) things used to work fine before v2.8.0, and ii) it worked fin also with links to Google ics calendars…?

Hi,

This problem has only started since I upgraded MagicMirror to v2.8.0.

I have three calendars on display, each showing ?export calendars from Nextcloud CalDAV server.

One of the calendars has daily/repeating entries.

In the morning, it shows all upcoming events for the day.

By the end of the day, and as the events occur, there are ‘No upcoming events’.

Next morning, that day’s events show.

The behavior before the upgrade to v2.8.0 used to be a rolling 8 events, so the calendar always showed 8 events, and by the evening, it was tomorrow’s 8 events that were showing.

This is a strange behavior, which I have tried my best to explain.

I really hope this sounds familiar to someone, and that they can help…

Thanks very much :)

@sdetweil

Solved, thank you so much!

Using port 8080, and placing the CalDav exported files (.ics format) in the …MagicMirror/modules/… tree is the answer.

(Still unsure why I can’t view the CalDav directly, but I run an hourly script to download the calendars, so no real issue.)

I am VERY happy! :)

Thanks again.
