i want to build something when i’ve planned a meeting with a client, homey gets the name of the client out of my agenda, and creates a welcome screen on our tv at the entry.

So as an example:

- i plan a meeting in my agenda on sep 10 at 14;00 with (name: Max Schuppert)
- 15 minutes before the meeting starts, homey sends a flow to the chromecast to turn on the tv, and make a welcome screen (i guess we need a seperate app for this).
- The tv turns on, and the tv shows: Welcome (Max Schuppert)
- 45 minutes later, homey will turn off the tv.

Can anybody help on how to make this work?

Homey can cast a web page to Chromecast;  
Homey can run a web server (Micro Web Server app);  
With iCalCalendar app, Homey has appointment driven automation possibilities;  
Homey has to be able to turn your tv on/off (using an app, or using the build-in IR remotes);

Here’s an example I made a while ago (without calendar events, but that’s just making the right flows for your usecase).

It casts a HTML info page with dynamic content:

> You can trigger flows on your calendar events, using the icalCalendar app. Setup First thing we need to do is to add your calendar to the app. You have the possibility to add one ore more calendars. IcalCalendar works with Apple, Outlook and Gmail calendars but in theory it should work with any provider asl long as they expose a public ical url (\*.ics). Open the app settings (configure app) and paste in the ical link and give your calendar a name. If you do not know where to find the link you…
