BLGData_Calendar - Holiday Tomorrow.vb Version 1.02 dtd Dec 28, 2016

All,

While Blade searches for a solution to my issues with the Handlers See post: http://board.homeseer.com/showpost.p...84&postcount=1 , I decided to take a shot at writing scripts that access the BLGData Objects to do what I need. As I worked on these I realized that the Handlers will not do what I want as currently coded, but I hope Blade will take look at these scripts and add the functionality into the Handlers.

Note: I'm still learning vb, so I'm sure there are more eloquent ways to achieve the same result with far fewer lines of code.

Holiday Tomorrow Script: Looks at calendar events for the next day and toggles a virtual device "ON" 24 hours before the event occurs. It also toggles a virtual device "OFF" at the end of the day.

Holiday Today Script: Toggles a virtual device "ON" during the duration of the calendar event.

Calendar Trigger Words: The script looks for the any of the following in the calendar event:
-" Day": For example the event might be "Christmas Day" the keywork includes the space before the word Day.
-"RDO": This is uses for a non standard work schedule. In my case I work 80 hours in 0 days (8-9 hour days, 1-8 hour day, and I'm off a day). The Regular Day Off is abbreviated RDO.
-"Leave": Self explanatory

Parameters to pass to the script from the event (Parm1,Parm2,Parm3):
Parm1: Virtual Device Reference ID
Parm2: Gmail Account
Parm3: Gmail Calendar Name

Currently, I'm using these scripts to toggle my Thermostats from Workday to Non-WorkDay settings.
