in OH2.5 I used caldav in combination with a google calender which worked very fine.
Now as I have updated to OH3 caldav isnt available anymore and I have to use iCalender.
I found several tutorials on how to set it up with Nextcloud, iCloud and different other calender but nothing for Google.
I have the problem that my calender things are marked as offline all the time and in my items I dont get the infos of the appointments in the calender.
I tried several configurations and different links to the ical file out of the google calender settings. I even tried using a public link which allows me to download the ical file when entering the url into a browser. But even with that the thing stays offline.
I attach my config for public and for private link. For normal I delete the critical parts of links when I post them online. To ensure you have all informations I just changed some content of the API code instead of deleting that part … so that link won’t work
And for username I also changed by in relation to my example my mailaddres would be max.mustermann@gmail.com
Thats strange because it looks like I have done nothing really wrong.
I tried to exactly copy your settings now so for example adding @gmail.com to the username.
But Calender still stays offline all the time.
And I also checked the private link again and I can download ics file with it.
Hmm, the only one difference I see that you use group calendar, but shouldn’t be a case here.
Maybe stupid proposal (but in IT world, often helpful) - sometimes when my thing keeps offline, I just click to switch it Off and after a few seconds On again. And was immediately online
On all google calenders I have the settings page only offers me group links.
I have 3 calenders:
My private - Dont needed in OH and only calender which is not a group calender but even with that link the thing stays offline
Calender with my wife - Thats the one we are talking about here and its used for different scenarios in our smarthome. This is in fact a calender which is accesable by her and me
Garbage calender - Will be used in openhap too but only accesable for me
I also tried disabling and reactivating the link but still stays offline
thanks for the suggestion
change it to 300 (10 minutes ago) but at the moment it still says offline
wouldnt even need a short interval if calender gets checked one or two times a days that would be enough.
In my opinion you are using wrong adress - try whats under “Privatadresse im iCal-Format”. I also set secret token but I think I dont need it. I also had to reboot OH3 once.
Maybe the access to the calendar is also not possible using classic basic auth using your default google login data. At least using gmail via IMAP requires either Oauth2 (which is not implemented in iCalendar) or an “app-specific password”.
