Global Variable not being set

[tmassano]

I just set this up, and it connected to my calendars, created the GoogleCaledar devices for my calendars.

I want to create a manual event that speaks todays calendar events.

Regardless of what trigger or condition I choose, it speaks the variables: dollar sign dollar sign G L O B A L V A R cal_name

[alexbk66]

I'll check

[tmassano]

Thank you.

Thank you, I was going to ask

[alexbk66]

BTW, I noticed you use AmbientWeather (HS3) plugin - my AKWeather plugin supports both Local and Remote AmbientWeather API.

I checked, it works fine.

Please note that the variables are set only when the event is triggered.

[alexbk66]

Ver 4.0.0.25 (BETA) - Added logging of setting Global Vars

Note - to install BETA you need to enable "Show Beta Plugins" on Plugins => Add page.

Then enable Log for the specific calendar.

[tmassano]

I installed the Beta and it is working now.

Thank you!

[alexbk66]

No problem. But BETA doesn't fix anything, just more logging

[tmassano]

Maybe reinstalling the plugin did something? All I did was add the beta, went to the event I previous created, ran it and it worked!

As long as it is working! ;-)

Thank you!

[tmassano]

I spoke too soon.
I went to continue programming today, and the globals were still yesterdays event. Nothing I did changed them.
I uninstalled the plug-in, rebooted it, and re-installed it.
All of the settings stayed.

Now its back to the original problem of not setting the globals.

I didn't see a HSPI_AKGoogle.Calendar.log.

What log did you want me to send you?

[tmassano]

My Log export log.txt

[alexbk66]

I didn't see a HSPI_AKGoogle.Calendar.log.

The plugin logs to HS log as you probably already guessed.

From your log it looks like you execute the event trigger manually - in this case of course the plugin doesn't know what calendar event to use.

You must set the real event in the calendar a couple of minutes from current time, then poll the calendar to make sure it reads the event, then wait for the trigger.

[alexbk66]

On the side note, I noticed in your log too much pollution i.e.

Legacy-Plugin Z-Wave Device: Water Alarms SUMP2 Sump 2 GEN2 Temperature Set to 58.28 (F)

You should probably go trough your ZWave devices and tick "Do Not Log" for each device

[tmassano]

Thank you for your reply.

It has been polling my calendars every 15 minutes.
But if I run my event, it speaks the variables name. Is that because the variable is empty?

The log shows it went out and did it:

I guess I dont fully understand how this works.
Is there an in depth manual I can look at?

I wanted to create a manual event for the morning, where it would read off today's calendar events.
And another manual one at night to read tomorrow's events.
Is that something I can do? Can you step by step tell me how to do that?

As always, thank you for your time and effort.
