Good!! That fixed the issue of the calendar not displaying , but now it is showing double entries in the list. 2 - Easters, Mother’s Day, President’s day etc.

Noob here trying to get the basic calendar to work. I tried several ics links and none work. The screen shows US HOLIDAYS and under that it says No upcoming events. I did a lot of searching on the internet and through the forums. I ended up finding some information on how to check the log files. In here I found the following when restarting MagicMirror:

The next to the last line says “Maybe no internet connection.” That is not a problem as everything else on the screen is updating just fine.

This is the link I’m using from the latest calendar config file:

{
			module: "calendar",
			header: "US Holidays",
			position: "top_left",
			config: {
				calendars: [
					{
						symbol: "calendar-check",
						url: "webcal://www.calendarlabs.com/ical-calendar/ics/76/US_Holidays.ics"					}
				]
			}
		},

All of the settings in the calendar.js file are unchanged.

UPDATE:

I grabbed another sd card and and loaded MM on it and am getting the similar errors on a new install as follows:

Any idea what this error is and possibly how to fix it so I can get the calendar working again? Thanks for any info!!

John

@Vizulize Sorry noob here just learning!

@tbbear I found the problem!

	url: "http://wr-pi-openhab:8080/basicui/app?sitemap=MMM"   // url of your Openhab sitemap

I overlooked the fact the I needed to enter MY url to my openHAB program in the line above. Now everything works as it should!!

Thank you again for developing this module!!

John

@tbbear Ok that got rid of the icon on the openHAB web interface but I still get nothing on the Magic Mirror screen but the rectangular screen with a white border.

What creates the buttons and labels on the Magic Mirror screen?

@Vizulize Those icons would look nice in color too.
