@sdetweil I posted a reply, but it got rejected, let me try again.

@rmonkey
I wrote a bash script that will take lat and lon, do an API call to Openweather, and get the sunset and sunrise times. then it will schedule a sunrise program and a sunset program to run via ‘at’. You can have +/- offsets for sunrise/sunset and you can just have a settime. So what I’m doing is doing api calls to MM at 10pm to turn off my background images, and then dim the screen via the remote api. then at 15 min after sunrise it puts it back to normal.

I have never published to github, but probably will at some point. Do you think this would be something folks would want? it is not a module. it does require jq and at to be installed on the linux system.

Platform [ Raspberry Pi 4 ]:

Node Version [ “version”: “2.25.0”, ]:

MagicMirror Version [ V2 ]:

Description:

MagicMirror2 Default Calendar module does not display reoccuring Monthly, or Weekly events with in your GMT window.
What I mean is that my GMT is -7, so any reoccuring Monthly, or Weekly event with a time of (midnight -7) aka 5:00pm my time does not get displayed on the day of the event.
Daily reoccuring events with times do not get affected.

Using Google Calendars with Secret address in iCal format.
I also tested Google Calendars with public address in iCal format.

I’m GMT -7

7 Hours before midnight is 5:00pm, and that is when reoccuring Monthly, and Weekly (but not daily) events break and do not show on MagicMirror

Here are my test results and how you can replicate the problem.

OK-Test weekly no time
OK-Test monthly - today - no time
OK-Test monthly - tomarrow - no time

OK-test monthly 12th at 4:45pm
OK-test-monthly 2ndtue 4:45pm
BAD-test monthly 12th at 5:15pm
BAD-test monthly 2ndtue at 5:15pm

OK-test weekly at 1100am
OK-test weekly at 1:00pm
OK-test weekly at 4:00pm
OK-test weekly at 4:45pm
BAD-test weekly at 5:00pm
BAD-test weekly at 5:15pm
BAD-test weekly at 6:00pm
BAD-test weekly at 11:00pm

OK-test daily at 4:45pm
OK-test daily at 5:00pm
OK-test daily at 5:15pm
OK-test daily at 11:00pm

OK-test monthly 12th at 4:45pm
OK-test-monthly 2ndtue 4:45pm
BAD-test monthly 12th at 5:15pm
BAD-test monthly 2ndtue at 5:15pm

Steps to Reproduce: Make a weekly repeating event 15 min (as an example) before your GMT -X time, and make another one 15 min after you GMT -X time. The one after will not display.

Expected Results: Repeading weekly or montly events that have a time in the future of today still show up until the time has past.

Actual Results: missing events

@rmonkey I really like how thin it is.
