Python Plugin : iCal Multi Purpose Python Plugin for Domoticz

[zak45]

Right .... translation problem with some linguistic speciality !!!
Plugin do not manage that well
But happy to see that's now it's woking.

[riko]

I used this great plugin for a while, but I managed to break it and whatever I try (including reinstallation) I cannot get it working again.

The problem started when I wanted to change the plugin settings, but pressed 'Add' instead of 'Update' after I changed the settings in Hardware. From that moment there were 2 plugins installed. The At Work device that is created does not update anymore and also the execution of commands doesn't work. I think the Season was updated, but as this only happens every quarter I'm not entirely sure.

I tried to delete the new one (which leads to a crash of domoticz), but after reboot it was removed. Also tried to remove the plugin by deleting the devices and then delete the hardware. I've even tried to delete all files in the domoticz/plugins/iCal folder and replaced it with a fresh version of the plugin.

Whatever I try I cannot get it working. I checked the iCal.ics file in the iCal folder. This is the correct one and recently updated so the import seems to be working. The log is loaded with messages about a 'lock', but doesn't give any errors (see screenshot below).

Does anybody know what the problem could be? Or are there suggestions to troubleshoot/find the root cause?

Thanks for your suggestion. I've updated Domoticz, Dabian and Python all to the latest stable version. But it doesn't work yet. I'm not sure whether polling requests are related to my issue of devices that are not updating. As I read other people are seeing these logs while the 'at work' device is working.

Hi,

Does this plugin can allow me to read an event in a specific Google Calendar and set a Variable in Domoticz to a dedicated value depending if there is an event on this day on the calendar or not ?

You will have a Domoticz device that will be set to On/Off, depend of the appointement. Can be a full day or even an half hour.

I still cannot wrap my mind around the problem that my devices are not updated by the plugin. I've tried multiple things:

• Reinstall the plugin/hardware (by removing the devices)

• Checking whether the device numbers match with the devices used by the plugin

• Switch the Default to AtWork: to TRUE and FALSE

• Check whether the 20iCal.ics file is properly downloaded: yes I've downloaded it from the RPI and checked it manually, the holidays are included

• Adding #wrk# items in several blocks in the agenda

I now turned on the detailed log and the following is printed. Can somebody help me a bit into troubleshooting to find where the problem comes from?

Hummm.. do not see what could be wrong...

Still problems ?

Hummm.. do not see what could be wrong...

Still problems ?

Unfortunately it is still not working. Strange enough I recently received 1 update of the calendar items in the device. Only full-day events are included in the timer and when I ran a test soon after (by adding extra calendar items) they are not updating anymore. Meaning that it is potentially working, but something is blocking the correct updates

[cookem]

Is this plugin still maintained? I tried setting this up per the instructions and it seems like googletrans is causing an issue. I get no domoticz logs but I do see in the ical status device the following:

**loadTexttotranslate-> msg:__Error to translate : __

and my en_us.lng file that is created is 0 size.

I also see the following in the 27output.txt file in the plugin dir:

Error : <class 'ValueError'> invalid destination language <traceback object at 0x75a57b20>
__Error to translate :
__

I have tried updating googletrans to 3.1.0a0 and removing the file but it keeps creating a 0 size file. It appears the ics file is downloading but it does not process commands nor do I see any logging in domoticz.

Anyone have any ideas on what else to try?

I've try using it several month ago and it is totally broken, intending that Google has change lately the ways for apps to log into Google services. I think we can admit this plugin is dead, and that so sad, i did not find any way to connect Domoticz and Google Calendar to do what i want to do with it

I worked around the problem by using node-red-contrib-ical-events and just used that set the variable and turn on the switch that used to be used by BakSeeDaa´s Google Calendar for Domoticz which I already had scripting setup to use those event variables. You could really do anything you wanted if you happen to have node-red installed with domoticz.
