[APP][Pro] IcalCalendar

This card will be true if the calendar in question has an ongoing event where the title of the ongoing event contains the given match phrase.

So if there’s an event in calendar Vakantie where the title of the event contains Vakantie Atilla then this card will be true.

Likewise, if there’s an event in calendar Vakantie where the title of the event contains Vakantie then this card will be true.

Vakantie will match for both Vakantie and Vakantie Atilla

The app searches for events containing the phrase you entered in the flow card

Is there a possibility to specify these phrases?

You specify the phrase in the flow card

App crashes with this message: CPU Warning Limit Reached

It happens when I trigger the sync calendars card.


Screenshot of what I saw in the developer tools right before the crash occurred.

I’ve changed the configuration to only sync events in the next 2 days, as opposed to the next 2 months, but the issue is still there.

Hi
i want to have a simple copy job
clearance:
wen I make a entry in Calendar 1 with a specific text , it must copy it to calendar 2

why:
I have a rehearsal calendar.
every time I have to copy this date over to my family calendar ( as the other people in the rehearsal calendar don’t have to know what I am doing in spare time :), read : family calendar)

how can I easily set this up?

i can read both calendars, and have some triggers running already to notify if there is an addon, or change in those calendars. And that works.
But copy an event from 1 calendar to the other still not figured it out how to setup.

need some help with that .

( no examples , as I don’t know where to begin )

Because it’s not possible.
I can’t say if it would generally be technically possible, the app developer may be able to answer this question. But at the moment there is no flow card available that can write or copy an event to a public calendar. There is only a flow card available, that can create an event in an local calendar:

This event will be saved on Homey or in the IcalCalender app and is not reachable from the outside, as far as I know.

tnks for answer
can i spent more time on other things :slight_smile:

then I will just follow the developer, maybe app get some future functional for this

That’s correct @DirkG. IcalCalendar only reads the calendar by downloading and parsing the .ics file.

There’s no plans (and most likely never will) to implement functionality in IcalCalendar to write / update the public calendar.

As @DirkG says, your only option is to create a local event!

tnks for the quick answer

Hi @runely, It would be great to have a widget in the new homey dashboard with a simple view of day-to-day events. Just an idea :wink:

Can you also use or set up an iCalcalendar for a Synology NAS?

I agree. I’ll see what I can do when I get the time to work on this again…

As long as the Synology NAS is hosting a .ics file of the calendar without any authentication needed to read it, and the homey can reach the .ics file, then yes it can

Hi all.
I really love the idea of using my calendar events as triggers. But now after some days of trying, i have to cry for help … i dont get IcalCalender to work :frowning:
I can add it to my HomeyPro, but there is no option i can link it to my Apple Calender. The only thing in the options i can change is the icon and the energy consumption (for a calendar?). I read nearly all installation articles i could find, but it seems i miss something :frowning: I think and believe its something very simple and i will bang my head against the wall when i finally got it … but at the moment i feel lost.
Is anybody here who can help me ?

Greetings,
Ralf

In the first post here under Setup, there’s a link: GitHub - runely/calendar-homey: Gives Homey flow cards to trigger on your calendar events

Follow that link and you see that you have to setup your calendars in the settings page of the app first

Hi Runely, any idea if this might end up on the roadmap at one point in time? Or should I (unfortunately) just continue with non recurring calendar items?

thanks!

I knew i missed something simple … it took me another 30 minutes to figure out, that i have to configure the global app settings … i feel a little bit stupid :smiley:
But now it works! Thank you very much <3

You do realize that i don’t get paid for doing this app? And that i have to do it on my spare time?

When i get the time and chance, i’ll see what i can do (if any)

Until then, please, be patient!

Hi Runely, sorry, in now way should that have been coming across as an entitled push, was sincerely interested if you were planning to include it, if not, no problem. If that came across differently, my apologies.

By the way, before posting this I was genuinely looking for a link to buy “a beer”, as I fully acknowledge that this is done by active participants like yourself, and they should be supported by the effort, especially if that helps solve time on the users side.

Maybe something to include, if you do, I will make use of that, as I have done more often in other cases as well here :wink:
