I belive you have already fixed them in the guide now.
I have an idea that would be nice. (perhaps its already done and i dont konw how to do it) but it would be very useful if i could set the starting time in the topic of the event in google calander and not just set a fixed starting time (-180) in domoticz. becouse sometimes i want the starting times to be lets say -500. i hope you understand what im trying to explain

Would be Great for an engine preheater.

BakSeeDaa wrote:That would not be a minor change to the code. However you may create additional representations of a single Google Calendar in Domoticz. Just name them differently and configure them accordingly. Example "My Calendar", "My Calendar -60", "My Calendar -180"

kazu wrote:Didnt think of that. I have now tried this, and it works very well. just change the keywords to -5h, -3h and so on. thanks!

Edit: I am editing User variables in Settings -> More Settings -> User variables.
I guess that is right, that I don´t need to change them in the script_device_gcal.lua ?

I have installed, i can get events from google calendar BUT I can not figure out howto trigger a device (let's say a virtual switch) to power on/off.
do I have to put a url as event on google calendar?

Thank you1

commandArray = {}


if (devicechanged['GCalCheck FGS klass 15 NA'] == "On") then
-- Put code here to do whatever you like when a calendar event is active
end

return commandArray

@TheeDude, You are right, user variables are edited in Settings -> More Settings -> User variables. The only file that You edit is the gcalconfig.lua

First check that the idx number for the Text Device in your config file is correct. If You still cant find the problem, please enclose the contents of your gcalconfig.lua together with a listing of your 3 calendar virtual devices (filter the output on your calendar name).

Let's get the BGCD working first before trying more advanced features like the keyword filtering.

Everything working fine here, calendar is read, text device showing events, etc...
The only point is how do you name your blocky events in domoticz then how do you write them to your calendar.
I've made an event just like the one you gave as example. If GCAL calendar device = on then log "blablabla" and named that domoticz event as "TEST". Shall i active it ? Do i need to write an "TEST=on" or "TEST {ON}" in google calendar ?
You said instead of Blocky you can script. Can I launch a LUA device trigger event. Got a script in LUA folder named script_device_confort.lua if I write in google calendar confort = On nothing happened. But if i switch my virtual device confort on then script_device_confort.lua is run. So which event shall i write in google calendar to make BGCD launch my script or at least switch on my device.

Thx in advance.

-- script_device_test.lua

commandArray = {}


-- In the example below we check if the "Calendar Device" switched
if (devicechanged['GCal MYCALENDARNAME']) then

	if (devicechanged['GCal MYCALENDARNAME'] == "On") then
		print("The Calendar device was switched on")
		commandArray["My Block Heater"] = "On"
	end

	if (devicechanged['GCal MYCALENDARNAME'] == "Off") then
		print("The Calendar device was switched off")
		commandArray["My Block Heater"] = "Off"
	end
	
end

return commandArray

Just one last thing, got problem removing a keyword from user variables. Can't empty it i'm getting ERR.

After I set up my domoticz installation with a web password, my Text Device stopped reporting on events.
I used Login Page, haven´t tried Basic Auth yet.

Can You try the attached file (unzip first). Replace the existing file with same name. Please let me know the results.
