New plugins priorities

[Guest]

I'm not sure, how to provide event time/date to HS? To be able to trigger.... Parsing the device string isn't too convenient. May be a separate device for each event?

I don't know either. Will think about it too.

Will you provide a real calendar, ex in a config page ? and update it with google info ?

What I thought in the beginning was to show 5-10 events per calardar/per day. Adding a generic group with all event would be beneficial to some people i think.

1-Do not create that generic group
2- Let use chose what calendar can be part of this group ( ex: i just want my GF and my calendar to be part of this. )
3- make it generic for all calendars

In calendar main config page I display all found calendars with checboxes for each -
1. Display upcoming events group (configurable number 0-10)
2. Display in Today group
3. Display in Tomorrow gropup

I didn't have this planed - it's a lot of work - but it's just a duplicate of Google Calendar site. Also it has to be kept up-to-date with Google changes. I think it's unnecessary.
What I did plan - for each event when you click on it - show all event details.

Yes that's great

Just a note and something i think Blade has been dealing with a lot over the years. Google just changes their APIs without notice. So, know that if you go down this path, it may not be an easy one. That said, I wouldn't mind a calendar plugin that I can add events to and use as a device. For instance a Device for "School day" that is turned on if a specific event is present on a given day. Another one is reading calendars and doing a morning announcement of events or "Frank, you better leave for your doctor's appointment, it is in 30 minutes!"

(I think I can do this in BLGData, but I want one that will work with multiple accounts and I could never get that to work with BLGData)

I'm using Google .NET API library, so it's pretty nice and easy. i.e. to get list of calendars:

CalendarListResource.ListRequest request = service.CalendarList.List();
return Execute(request);

Where Execute(request) is my little wrapper, but still, easy.

There's also ability to subscribe to changes - instead of constant polling - but it needs a callback url, can we do it somehow using HS built in webserver?

Thanks guys for the input, I really need use cases to implement something useful, not just base on my own requirements.
So please provide any ideas, you have a chance to shape the future

if possible that would be nice !

Can't you do a resume, to keep track of what you adopted etc, to be more in sync lol..
Thanks,

My main question - how people want to trigger events for CG entries?

[Guest]

-Based on x time before and after the gc event. (Tags/regex would be appropriated I think)
-based on how many events In the days\tomorow.

this is what comes to my mind for now

Haha

I've got a simple idea about triggering events - since the "Calendar Event" device currently only uses the Device String to display the event text, but the device value isn't used - I can use it for triggering, i.e. normally it's set to 0, but for each "reminder" time set in Google Calendar - I can set the device value to the reminder number, i.e. for two reminders - 3, 2, and 1 for the event time itself.

What do you think?

[alexbk66]

However I'm using the device value currently set to the calendar number, so it picks the correct calendar colour:

I am not quite sure to follow .


What i think I understand is when a GC event has pssed, the next gc event will take his place in the hs3 device.


so when we want to trigger something we set the value of a device?

edit : ok sorry , I got it . But if the events rotates in hs3 form device to devices..how would it works?

if i want a trigger happen every time an gc event contains the word ‘’doctor’’. And this 1 days before the event . How will this be implemented?
