I finally have calendar working again. Had to completely replace my config.js with the sample one. Then rebuild it. I could get everyone of my calendars to work in the stripped down config.js so I just removed my calendars settings from my original config.js then copied and pasted the working calendar settings from the stripped down one saved and rebooted calendars work fine now. NOW on to the MMM-CalendarExt3 not picking up from the default calendar for some reason… Thats a problem for another day…

My Old Cronjob was like this.
00 07 * * 1-5 /home/pi/hdmi-on.sh
45 21 * * 1-5 /home/pi/hdmi-off.sh
00 07 * * 6,0 /home/pi/hdmi-on.sh
00 22 * * 6,0 /home/pi/hdmi-off.sh

hdmi-off.sh file contains :
vcgencmd display_power 0

hdmi-on.sh file contains:
vcgencmd display_power 1

Don’t forget to
sudo chmod +x hdmi-off.sh
sudo chmod +x hdmi-on.sh
If you go this route.

Now I use MMM-AutoDimmer
my setup in config.js it works great

{
        disabled: false,
        module: "MMM-AutoDimmer",
        position: "fullscreen_above",
        header: "",
        // Don't change anything above this line
        config: {
        maxDim: 1,
        brightTime: 700,
        dimTime: 2130
              }
},

Maybe my pm2 error log will help.
looks like I am missing a file but can not figure out how to install it or what to install.

Ok, I have the Birthdays.ics in my MagicMirror directory.
and this is what is in my config.js and I am getting a message
Error in calendar module: check error logs for more details.
Not sure where to go from here.

{
        module: "calendar",
        position: "middle_center",
        header: "Burdick Home",
        config: {

Okay,
I have saved my ics in the MagicMirror folder and trying to use this
url: “http://MagicMirror/Birthdays.ics”,
I still get nothing. This is kinda important with the size of my family I would forget Birthdays constantly. Probably even my own.
What am I doing wrong or do I need to reload the default calendar into
cd /MagicMirror/modules/ default. I tried going to google calendars and managing my account turned 2 step off and then back on and redid all the steps for gmail and then went in and got the new calendar links with no changes to calendar showing up. Pulling my hair out on this one. Been at it a couple days now. It is probably so simple I cant see the forest for all the trees type thing…

@sdetweil
Thanks for the clarification, I will go back and make sure I have the 2 part verification turned on and try it again…
Thank You

Re: Default Calendar
How would I go about using a local ICS file for example birthdays and holidays since I can get ICS files downloaded and would only need to move to the correct folder. Just a thought to take out all the middle men and lighten the load on my wireless internet connection…

@sdetweil
Please expand on the new URL. I went to my google account and regenerated a new private url but not sure how to do that on a public url like the holidays one.
Is there a way to put in the username and new password like in gmail that I am overlooking?

plainbroke

I have not changed anything, no upgrades ect.
This is the public Holiday calendar I use. url: “https://www.calendarlabs.com/ical-calendar/ics/76/US_Holidays.ics”,
I am getting the nothing to show message.
My private calendar which gets me a ics file download when I paste it in a browser is not showing up either. I ssh into and vnc this pi4 8gb. The only thing that changed was I had a power supply failing (causing the lightning bolt to show up.) So I replaced that with a new 3.5 amp power supply.
Everthing was fine for a couple days and then all the sudden no more calendars. Is this to do with Google forcing 2 stage authentication on everyone? I had to get a special password for my gmail to show up. Wondering if this is the same type issue? If so how do I put in a username and password in my config.js for the calendars? Dad blasted Google needs to leave well enough alone… :angry_face:

It only runs a patched version of stretch right now. I am able to do the project I was wanting to do with it… at $55 it is a little pricey and a LOT more work to get running debian, but it is doing the job. Finally found a wireless adapter for the Libre and it is rock steady… Only thing I do not like is I can not seem to get it to boot from a usb drive has to be from sd card…
Fun little learning experience…
