I just use a cron job to put the screen to sleep at 11pm and turn it back on at 7am. My schedule is routine enough that this works well for me.
crontab -e
00 23 * * * /home/pi/monitor-off.sh >/dev/null # JOB_ID_1
0 7 * * * /home/pi/monitor-on.sh >/dev/null # JOB_ID_2
#!/bin/bash
vcgencmd display_power 0
# export DISPLAY=:0.0
# xset dpms force off
#!/bin/bash
vcgencmd display_power 1
# export DISPLAY=:0
# xset dpms force on
# xset s reset

Yes, I got it working after a bit of experimenting. It wouldn’t read the ics file from other places like /MagicMirror which I assumed to be the root of the webserver.
I created a new directory in /MagicMirror/modules, named birthdays, and placed by birthdays.ics file in there.
Then in my config I added a 2nd calendar:
{
symbol: 'birthday-cake',
url: 'webcal://localhost:8080/modules/birthdays/birthdays.ics'
}
@coolchip , yes this can be done easily by serving it up via http.
My 2nd calendar entry looks like this:
{
symbol: ‘birthday-cake’,
url: ‘webcal://localhost:8080/modules/birthdays/birthdays.ics’
}
That may not be the best location to put it, but I wasn’t able to get it read from outside of /modules.
