@sdetweil so, just checked. It is way better but still not 2020 like. I mean I have a 1GB fiber connection and the Raspy is connected via wifi on 5GHz line. I would expect the video to stream smooth without the little stop&go. When I have MM2 running and I switch to terminal or Geney it always takes a few seconds to react. It is very slow then. By the way, I am using a SanDisk microSDXC Card 64GB ExtremePro A2. So I guess a potential card issue is sorted right?

@sdetweil Mate to be honest…didnt try but a very easy way to see if its the MM2! :-) Try it in a few and report back soon. Thanks for the fast reply!

Hi. I was wondering if anyone out there has the same issues or if it is an issue on my MM2 setup.

I have seen several youtube and streaming modules and I actually tried some. But when I run the MM2 the quality of the youtube video is sh*t basically. It stops very often, almost slow motion.

I run the latest MM2 version, all apps and SW is up to date. I am using a Raspberry Pi 4 with 4GB Ram and as a display I use a 32" HP Z32. The Raspberry Pi is connected via HDMI and every other module works fine.

Yes, when I start MM2 in general the whole system slows down like crazy. Thats why I was wondering if there is anything I need to change in the system settings or so to speed this up. I have read about some driver updates or so but I wanted to ask you guys first.

Thanks,
Pat

Hi. I have now managed to set up my first MM2 on a HP Z32 in portrait mode and so far all good.

Since the setup I am playing around with fine tuning and I tried various fonts.

To be honest I didnt find a really nice one which can be used in a moderate big size but which does not interfere with the other modules due to the size (meaning, that I dont have to resize the font or modules to have the full entries displayed without being wrapped).

Long story short :-) What fonts are you using on your mirror? Picture would be nice.

Cheers
Pat

Hi. Is there a way to use for example two unsplash collections, one for daytime and one starting from 19:00 on? Should be possible right? Something like…

(the below should not represent code but just the logic):

If local time between 6:00 and 19:00 than use collection: “1234”
else
if local time between 19:00 and 6:00 than use collection: “9876”

Anyone the same issue or request? Idea how to solvethis?

@klaernie Yes, at the end of the day I wanted to have a nice overview of what is installed and what status it has:

• Hue Lamp 1 - On
• Aqara Door sensor X - Open
• Aqara Window sensor X - Closed
  etc.

Hi, is there a chance to get a module which shows all active smart devices and status.
I was thinking about a combination of the hue module with something also showing the xiaomi door sensors etc.
Or maybe a module showing only xiaomi sensors and aqara sensors? Happy to discuss.

Hi, could anyone build a „out of Milk“ Module? I am talking about the food shopping app. Similar to bring!. I would like to see in a module, what I have on list for my upcoming shopping. Happy to discuss

Hi Mate, could you do the same for Switzerland? Or chat bilateral to talk about what is required and I will see what I can organize. Thanks!

Hi all

Anyone inputs on how to make vdirsyncer becoming active and triggered on events?
I use it to sycn my private ical. I followed the tutorial from Beh and I managed to have two private ical Calendars showing up on the mirrror. Manual sync works but the automated.

If I check the status of vdirsyncer.timer the following is populated:

● vdirsyncer.timer - Synchronize vdirs
   Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/user/vdirsyncer.timer; enabled; vendor preset: e
   Active: inactive (dead)
  Trigger: n/a

I would expect to be active and not inactive or “dead” :-)
Furthermore I would also expect to have a trigger

A bit of help would be great.

Thanks community
Patrick

@elliot1996 said in Sync private iCloud calendar with MagicMirror:

@Beh I’m sure I have installed it in the right directory, I followed :curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pimutils/vdirsyncer/master/contrib/vdirsyncer.timer | sudo tee /etc/systemd/user/vdirsyncer.timer firstly under the MagicMirror Directory. Then activating using systemctl --user enable vdirsyncer.timer.

When looking at the status I get : Warning: The unit file, source configuration file or drop-ins of vdirsyncer.timer changed on disk. Run ‘systemctl --user daemon-reload’ to rel
● vdirsyncer.timer - Synchronize vdirs

Hi mate. I have the exact same issue. I have everything now up and running. I managed to have two private ical calendars showing up in the mirror. If I sync manually and reload it works fine. Unfortunately I dont manage the damn thing to do it automatically, ideally triggered on an event or at least all few minutes. My settings in the timer are 1min, 2min, 3min. Just because Beh said to avoid all 1min settings. Any Idea?

Hi. Try to participate as well :-). I am totally new to the Raspberry world and so to MM. I have set up using the step-by-step guide. Thanks for this a lot. Now that I have set this up as expected, the result is not as expected. The other modules work well. Also 3rd party ones. But the calendar says “No upcoming event”. I have managed to obtain the according icloud calendar ID for my PRIVATE calendar. Any idea what I could potentially have wrongly set up or installed?

Discovering collections for pair iCloud_to_MagicMirror

config file:

CALDAV Sync

[pair iCloud_to_MagicMirror]
a = “Mirror”
b = “iCloud”
collections = [“14Exxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxEF2”]

Calendars also have a color property

metadata = [“displayname”, “color”]

[storage Mirror]

We need a single .ics file for use with the mirror (Attention! This is really slow on big amounts of events.)

type = “singlefile”

We’ll put the calendar file to a readable location for the calendar module

path = “/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/calendars/%s.ics”

[storage iCloud]
type = “caldav”
url = “https://caldav.icloud.com/”

Authentication credentials

username = “xxxxxxxxxxx@mailprovider.com”
password = “xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx”

We only want to sync in the direction TO the mirror, so we make iCloud readonly

read_only = true

We only want to sync events

item_types = [“VEVENT”]

Can anyone of you help? Maybe you see what I did wrong or you know how I could check some points to see if I did something wrong.

Thanks for your inputs. Keep in mind, I am new in this ;-)

Hi. I still think it was a good question. I for example wanted to have twice your module one above the other. Say the first shows the bus connection and below the train. Or simply two different starting points. How can I write this? Thanks for this very helpful module by the way!
