Don’t the authors usually leave their github live…

AFAIK yes, for this reason this seems like an unfriendly farewell to me .

@KristjanESPERANTO
Indeed, I totally agree.
I would like if I could, but I am not able to do this.
@bugsounet has developed an excellent piece of code - far beyond my abilities.
(especially in javascript - I struggle with the object oriented approach).

Ralf

Fortunately it comes to my mind, that the “documentation” of the modules comes with the module.
Still unfortunate, that module isn’t maintained - will may not work in later MM releases…

@sdetweil indeed, Very sad turn of events.
Thanks - overseen your post.

Hi team,
today I wanted to take care about the cron-funtionality within MMM-Pir and have a look at documentation but the link to module leads to error 404 - not found…
Any idea about this?
The graphical module page shows a last commit from January, 20th, 2025 …

Regards,
Ralf

@sdetweil , sorry - being offline for a while…
Yes, seems to work.
As you was afraid of, it takes LOOOONG until calender shows but earlier as without your suggested modification.
Thanks again!

Warmest regards,
Ralf

@sdetweil
O.K. , sorry my fault…Wrong expression from my side “first fetch” means first complete fetch (so ALL data fetched).
In addition I accidentally switched the begin and end…
So correct view is

waitFetch:  17000,  //  MM starts: 10:44:49.288   minus  complete calender fetch at: 10:45:06.206 = 16.918 ms

Sorry for my mistake.
And thanks for your explanation!
Warmest regards,
Ralf

@sdetweil , sorry, I didn’t get you…
what do you mean by this?

Ralf

I have set refreshinterval at 180000 - 3 Minutes.
this may triggers appearance of MMM-CalendarExt3Agenda …

I’m not able to identify the startup of MMM-CalendarExt3Agenda in the log.

If I consider the difference between Mirror-startup and first calender fetching as the “right” fetching time

[2025-01-24 10:44:49.288] [LOG]   Starting MagicMirror: v2.30.0 

[2025-01-24 10:45:05.760] [INFO]  Calendar-Fetcher: Broadcasting 22 events from https://www.feiertage-deutschland.de/
[2025-01-24 10:45:06.206] [INFO]  Calendar-Fetcher: Broadcasting 21 events from https://calendar.google.com/calendar

it should be around 16,9 seconds - is this the right assumption?.

At least with

waitFetch:  17000,  //  start: 0:45:06.206 -  first calender fetch: 10:44:49.288 = 16.918 ms 

MMM-CalendarExt3Agenda appears “faster” than before …

@MMRIZE @sdetweil ,
thanks for this.
I’ve played around with waitFetch which doesn’t help.
But with your justification I have to investigate deeper and find the right value.

Warmest regards,
Ralf
