Garbage Collection

First, thanks. Great widget.
I’m new to openHab, and it took me some time to understand, what is required.

For every other newbie, a short summary using the web interface to maybe speed them up :slight_smile:

My assumption for the reader:

  • You are familiar with CalDav,
  • You have a calendar with at least two meeting series, named “paper” and “glass”
  • You installed the widget “Garbage Collection”

To get this widget running, you have to follow this step

  1. Install icalendar
  2. Add a icalendar configuration for your calender
  3. Add an event filter
    3.1 for each type you like to display (e.g. two event filter in case of paper and glass to be displayed)
    3.2 with max event == 1
    3.4 with a text based filter, e.g. using the subject
    3.5 provide the proper subject of the calender entry, e.g. paper or glass
    3.6 set Start to 0, as shown here Garbage Collection - #36 by DrRSatzteil
  4. Add an item for each event filter
    4.1 Each item is of type DateTime
    4.2 Every item is linked to one event filter only
    4.3 The used channel is “result_0#begin”
    4.4 Adjust the meta description of each item to “%1$tA %1$td.%1$tm.%1$tY” like written here Garbage Collection - #32 by DrRSatzteil. Otherwise, the date in the footer for each type is missing, like here: Garbage Collection - #27 by wars

Now all pre-conditions should be fulfilled, so that the widget can be easily configured as described here Garbage Collection
