Hello, Everybody.

I have problems to get the values from the ical-Files into the item definitions:

There was already an discussion regarding non-loaded Events under OpenHAB2 at [calDAV Binding not loading Events under OH2 · Issue #4074 · openhab/openhab1-addons · GitHub](https://github.com/openhab/openhab1-addons/issues/4074#issuecomment-321937576), but this does not solve my issue.

The frame conditions:  
OpenHAB2 - latest version, installed on Raspberry.

no old config files at /var/lib/openhab2/config/org/openhab/  
all downloaded .ical-files found at /var/lib/openhab2/etc/caldav/Entsorgung/  
log file is reporting events:  
2017-08-11 18:58:48.649 [INFO] [nhab.io.caldav.internal.job.EventJob] - event BEGIN for: B8587DCE-23BF-4D65-ACE3-D94646E93D6F(test@11.08.2017/18:00-11.08.2017/19:00)  
But… unfortunately no values transferred into the item containers.

The content of the caldavio.cfg file:  
caldavio:Entsorgung:url=[https://www.google.com/calendar/dav/@group.calendar.google.com/events](https://www.google.com/calendar/dav/@group.calendar.google.com/events)  
caldavio:Entsorgung:username=\<[myname-without-gmail.com](http://myname-without-gmail.com)\>  
caldavio:Entsorgung:password=  
caldavio:Entsorgung:reloadInterval=1  
caldavio:Entsorgung:preloadTime=20000  
caldavio:timeZone=Europe/Berlin

The content of the caldavCommand.cfg file:  
caldavCommand:readCalendars=caldavio:Entsorgung

The content of the caldavPersonal.cfg file:  
caldavCommand:readCalendars=caldavio:Entsorgung  
#homeIdentifiers=

The content of the .items file:  
String Cal\_Entsorg “Nächste Abholung: [%s]” \<Kalender, Entsorgung\>  
{caldavPersonal=“calendar:Entsorgung type:UPCOMING eventNr:1 value:NAME”}  
DateTime Cal\_EntsorgDatum “Nächste Abholung: [%1$td.%1$tm.%1$tY]” \<Kalender, Entsorgung\>  
{caldavPersonal=“calendar:Entsorgung type:UPCOMING eventNr:1 value:START”}

Could anybody help me… quite desperate in the meantime ☹  
Thank you very much in advance.

Tom

I believe your calendar names are wrong.

Should go like this:

```auto
caldavCommand:readCalendars=Entsorgung
caldavPersonal:usedCalendars=Entsorgung

```

Sorry… this settings did not work.  
I just double-checked, but with the same result:

.ical files are downloaded, but values not transferred into item containers.

Any suggestions or recommendations are highly appreciated.

Best Regards

Go compare your items to the ones in the [docs here](https://github.com/openhab/openhab1-addons/wiki/CalDAV#caldav-personal). Fix any discrepancies you find.

Hi, namraccr:

Cal\_Entsorg and Cal\_EntsorgDatum double-checked and Cal\_Presence added:

Current settings in file: Entsorgung.items:  
String Cal\_Entsorg “Nächste Abholung: [%s]” \<Kalender, Entsorgung\>  
{caldavPersonal=“calendar:‘Entsorgung’ type:‘UPCOMING’ eventNr:‘1’ value:‘NAME’”}  
DateTime Cal\_EntsorgDatum “Nächste Abholung: [%1$td.%1$tm.%1$tY]” \<Kalender, Entsorgung\>  
{caldavPersonal=“calendar:‘Entsorgung’ type:‘UPCOMING’ eventNr:‘1’ value:‘START’”}  
Switch Cal\_Presence "Kalenderzugriff " \<Kalender, Entsorgung\>  
{caldavPersonal=“calendar:‘Entsorgung’ type:‘PRESENCE’”}

Unfortunately no progress - items still “NULL” in HABpanel UI - also empty in Classic UI.  
No “findings” in /var/log/openhab2/openhab.log

Ok, good progress. Time to review the sitemap file and get a [debug log](http://docs.openhab.org/administration/logging.html#defining-what-to-log).

Thanks for your kind support on this journey…

Next turn:

The sitemap:

sitemap SmartHaus label=“Rottenberg” {

}  
…

Logging activated in org.ops4j.pax.logging.cfg with line  
log:set DEBUG org.openhab.binding.CalDAV

but unfortunately no output - is the activation at by this line correct?

I don’t know how you even manage to see anything in the UI. When I load your sitemap, I get a blank screen like below.

You need to eliminate the smartquotes from the sitemap, for starters. I think that will eliminate most of your problems. If not, see below for how to set up logging properly.

```auto
sitemap SmartHaus label=“Rottenberg” {

```

Logging: no, you can’t add a `log:set` command to the pax config file. That command has to be issued in the Karaf console, like so:

```auto
openhab> log:set DEBUG org.openhab.io.caldavio
openhab> log:get org.openhab.io.caldavio
Logger | Level
-------------------------------------------
org.openhab.io.caldavio | DEBUG

```

The packages of interest for caldav are caldavio as shown above, plus `org.openhab.binding.caldav-command` and `org.openhab.binding.caldav-personal`.

Hmmm… no caldavio related output on the log at all… just the common ongoing item updates with latest values:

I tried for all three objects:

- org.openhab.io.caldavio
- org.openhab.binding.caldav-command and
- org.openhab.binding.caldav-personal

…to get log files by launching the following command sequences:

```
**openhab> log:set DEBUG org.openhab.binding.caldav-personal**
 **openhab> log:g org.openhab.binding.caldav-personal**
 **Logger | Level**
 **-------------------------------------------**
 **org.openhab.binding.caldav-personal | DEBUG**
 **openhab> log:tail**

```

The event log is running, but no output for the three log categories mentioned above.

running output (access to UI in the meantime, refresh frequency in caldavio.cfg populated with one minute)  
12:29:37.349 [INFO] [marthome.event.ItemStateChangedEvent] - TEMP\_Raspi\_Keller changed from 51 to 50  
12:30:31.399 [INFO] [marthome.event.ItemStateChangedEvent] - TEMP\_Raspi\_Test changed from 44 to 45  
12:30:38.781 [INFO] [marthome.event.ItemStateChangedEvent] - TEMP\_Raspi\_Keller changed from 50 to 51

12:31:32.944 [INFO] [marthome.event.ItemStateChangedEvent] - TEMP\_Raspi\_Test changed from 45 to 44

**Regarding the sitemap topic:**  
I am sure, you cannot copy&paste my sitemap, since this was just the very beginning of the sitemap (closing }-sign was missing). At the other hand, I do not see a chance for some issue with the sitemap configuration, since the problem occurs also, if I am inserting this item in parallel on/via HABpanel UI, directly (where sitemap files are not involved).

**Another approach:**  
Is there any chance to check, if all caldavio-related services are running?

</div>

In the meantime, I have also created another calendar “Muell” instead of “Entsorgung”, to check, if the calendar or the .ical files are corrupt.

The iCal-file is added to the file location on the OpenHAB instance, but import is not logged into the OpenHAB file system. This event is not logged by the three running log threads mentioned above.

At the other hand, the log at /var/log/openhab2/openhab.log is listing Events from one calendar entry, which is due:

recurring entries like:  
15:17:53.399 [INFO] [nhab.io.caldav.internal.job.EventJob] - event BEGIN for: [xxxxxxxxxxxx@google.com](mailto:xxxxxxxxxxxx@google.com)(test@13.08.2017/15:15-13.08.2017/16:15)

The openhab.log file is where you should be looking for log messages. The events log is not as useful for debugging.

The INFO entry you posted shows CalDAV is working correctly.

You can see the running bundles with `bundle:list`.

I can. I did. Obviously I had to fix the missing elements.

Another thing you can do is list the items openHAB knows about. When I do this with your item file installed, OH doesn’t see any of your items. Only mine:

```auto
openhab>smarthome:items list
FirstDayNumberOfMonth (Type=NumberItem, State=NULL, Label=First Day of Month Day Number, Category=null)

```

Both CalDav bindings deinstalled and reinstalled in the meantime… without positive effect on this issue.

The log file output during the installation period:

Some relevant items of the items list:

The first three items are found (and known), but with State=NULL.  
The same, I can see, when I insert those items into HABpanel UI.
