All I have so far

Hi everyone,

I’m excited to announce my new MagicMirror module, MMM-BirthdayCalendarCountdown! This module listens for calendar events (via the "CALENDAR_EVENTS" notification) and filters them based on a configurable keyword (defaulting to "birthday"). It then displays upcoming birthday events on your MagicMirror along with a live countdown timer for events that occur within a configurable window (default is 7 days).

Features

• Customizable Keyword Filtering:
  Easily filter calendar events for birthdays (or any other event type by changing the search keyword).

• Live Countdown:
  Watch as the countdown for each upcoming birthday updates in real time.

• Clean, Stylish Display:
  Comes with a dedicated CSS file for a neat and modern look.

• Configurable Options:
  Adjust the update interval, countdown window, maximum events displayed, and search keyword to suit your needs.

How It Works

The module listens for the "CALENDAR_EVENTS" notification from your calendar module. It filters events based on the title, then sorts and displays the upcoming birthdays. If an event is within the specified countdown window, a live countdown (days, hours, minutes, seconds) is shown right below the event details.

Installation & Setup

1. Clone or Download the Repository:
   Clone the repository into your MagicMirror modules directory:

   cd ~/MagicMirror/modules
   git clone https://github.com/wlans/MMM-BirthdayCalendarCountdown.git
   

2. Configure the Module:
   Add the following entry to your config/config.js file:

   {
     module: "MMM-BirthdayCalendarCountdown",
     position: "top_left",  // or any other region you prefer
     config: {
       updateInterval: 1000,       // Refresh display every second
       countdownStartDays: 7,      // Show countdown for events within 7 days
       maxDisplay: 5,              // Display up to 5 upcoming events
       searchKeyword: "birthday"   // Change this keyword to filter different event types
     }
   },
   

3. Ensure You Have a Calendar Module:
   Make sure your MagicMirror setup includes a calendar module that sends out the "CALENDAR_EVENTS" notification with the proper event format (each event must include at least a title and startDate).

4. Customize the Look:
   The module comes with a CSS file (MMM-BirthdayCalendarCountdown.css) to provide styling. Feel free to tweak it to match your mirror’s theme.

@bhepler amazing. I had this idea too but got lost in the details. What API you using? My idea was to have a lat and long and countdown to when Santa is coming there. Feel free to steal it.

@cgillinger Very cool well done

Oh, I’m glad you guys found and were able to use MMM-NOAAAlerts!

Sorry I didn’t advertise it well enough. Ping me direct if you have any issues.

Is it going to be added to the list? FYI I’m gonna have a PR out to fix scrolling within the month if you wanna look.

@mmmallday – Update: I now have this running. I made two changes and it now displays alerts.

It is not clear why these changes made any difference, because when i revert the changes the module still works. I would expect that if either or both made a difference, the module behavior would have changed back…

The first change was to remove a line I had added in the config to specify the endpoint, which is now removed

weatherEndpoint: "/onecall",

The other change was to reduce the number of decimal points in the lat and lon from the six (6) produced by Google Maps to four(4), which I recall having used in the past.

As I said, it’s not clear what I did, but it’s working now so I will leave this module alone and go on to something else. Before I mark this as solved, I will wait a bit to see if anyone had further input as to the actual resolution.

Thanks for your time and attention.

Cool. I moved to https://github.com/mmtsweng/MMM-NOAAAlerts No API keys needed
