Since I created 14 devices I get failures that are shown in my logfile, any idea why? It used to work on a few devices.

@infodnv,

need one of your ics file to be able to test.

[infodnv]

Zak45, in attachment i enclosed a zip with several ics files

[zak45]

@infodnv

I do not have been able to reproduce the error
The error occur during the update of the status device for the corresponding calendar.
check if your status device is there , maybe try to reinstall the plugin for the one that made error.
you can also try to put domoticz in 'en' language to see if problem with the lng file.

zak45, i took a new raspberry PI and made a new installation. I restored my database and everything is working perfectly.
Thanks for your help, it is really amazing!!

Hi! Im new here and also still a beginner I've got a raspberry pi with the iCal plugin running. Using the work switch to turn on the heating in my home office when I'm working from home. So far so good.
Now I'd like another "work switch" that would turn down the heating in the living room when I'm away from home. Is there any way I can create a second switch with a different #wrk# command like #out#?

There is only one "at work" switch managed by the plugin.
But you can create a Calendar entry with #cmd# on it and activate any Domoticz device.

Hi all,

I'm trying to install the ical plugin but the dropbox link seems to be offline. Is there anyone who has another link to find the needed files? Google gave me no luck

Thanks in advance!

hi there,

Is Google Translate still a problem when you're installing
Seems after installation a language file for my language (Belgium) is made in the iCal-folder but the file is empty...


I allready tried the "pip install git+https://github.com/BoseCorp/py-googletrans.git --upgrade"
Doesn't help... How do i solve this?

Thxfa

[zak45]

You can try that :

$ pip3 uninstall googletrans
$ pip3 install googletrans==3.1.0a0

[Himmy]

You can try that :

$ pip3 uninstall googletrans
$ pip3 install googletrans==3.1.0a0

Tried that, first line "uninstall" didn't work
executing your second line made me realise googletrans was uptodate (3.1.0a0)
Deleted the 4 "switches" an made new hardware.
Again an 0-length language file. Could it be the chosen language when i make the hardware: i tried "België" and "Belgium"
The holidays were right an in my language.

Log file said this (many times):

Hello
I'm running Domoticz latest beta (13314). I installed plugin as instructed. Domoticz is set to English. Allow for new devices is activated. Running python 3.7.3
This error message is reported and no device is created:

Code: Select all

2021-06-13 17:51:22.829 Error: Calendrier: (Calendrier) Error on json from Received Data: {"status":{"step":"loadTexttotranslate","msg":"__Error to translate :
2021-06-13 17:51:22.829 __"}}
2021-06-13 17:51:22.829 Error: Calendrier: (Calendrier) Error to process data

Morever, when I return to Harware/Plugin setup all specific options to the plugin are gone

en_en_lng, iCal.sh, plugin.py, iCal.py have been copied to the iCal folder. However, in the repositery I noticed there is iCalv1.py file. Is it needed as well?

Thank you

I made some progress. Devices are now created. Great. However there are still one error message related to Meteo France. I checked that the name of the location is known to Meteo France and postal code uservariable is right

Code: Select all

2021-06-13 21:01:21.760 Error: Calendrier: (Calendrier) __Error to execute query__
2021-06-13 21:01:21.760 Error: Calendrier: (Calendrier) __Not able to query data from Meteo France__

Could I suggest to add an option to use idx instead of name?
This extension to Domoticz is brilliant. Thank you for the great work

Plugin has been installed on the production machine (Intel NUC on Debian). Same issue I had when I first tried the plugin on a test machine related to translation. I'm pretty much convinced that this error prevents the plugin to run
Any help would be much appreciated

Code: Select all

2021-06-14 08:54:35.443 Error: (Calendrier) Error on json from Received Data: {"status":{"step":"loadTexttotranslate","msg":"__Error to translate :
2021-06-14 08:54:35.443 __"}}
2021-06-14 08:54:35.443 Error: (Calendrier) Error to process data

Domoticz interface is set to English.
Moreover I noticed the following difference between the test and the production machine (it is indeed defined in the plugin parameter)
Hardware tab iCal Port parameter is displayed as expected whereas the port info is missing on the production machine

Well pretty strange, without doing anything, after some time googletrans recovered by itself. Devices are now created. Switched back to French. French file is automatically created but is empty (as in the Dev machine). Seems to me that googletrans API is causing more trouble than solutions.

Domoticz hardware tab has changed since new stable version which likely explains why there is some regression when it comes to display various parameters. See the attached screenshot of the production machine that has not yet been upgraded to latest stable.

@zak45: would you consider adding selector switch as a possible command?
Thank you
