so i could setup a calander for kids school holidays and work holidays ect
Looks complicated will have a read through there see if a can get it up and running thanks namraccr
You also could try the Google Calendar Scheduler (gcal) binding. It’s under the Misc category in Paper UI.
Documentation is here.

The Google one looks easyer to get up and running thanks for that
Sure. One thing I find helpful is to create a separate calendar for my OH stuff, which keeps it separate from my default calendar.
I agree with you I don’t want OH accessing my main email anyway for security concerns
I made a proposal that may get your interest, it’s not merged but maybe you shall give it a try : https://github.com/openhab/openhab2-addons/pull/2728
I have followed the docs that you sent too me
installed the binding, got an client ID and Secret ,Filled in the text file , followed instructions from log:tail and authorised,
I received an error , what next how can i see whats working and whats not ?

Following the link google says “The API “calendar.googleapis.com” doesn’t exist or you don’t have permission to access it”
I have hashed out some numbers as it contained secret ID
i have no experience using an API so at the moment i havent a clue whats wrong any pointers?

I’m not too familiar with running openHAB on Windows (actually, I’m not familiar with it at all), but those two lines would seem to suggest a permissions problem creating and/or accessing the directory that contains the authorization token.
Sorry I can’t be much more help than that. On Linux, the gcal directory is owned by the openhab user and has permissions 700. I’m just not sure how that translates to the Windows world.
i think i solved that problem by running the start.bat as admin there is a gcal token in the folder it listed
i just don’t think its working as i don’t have access too the calander api
im not sure what to do or how to troubleshoot like i say this is my first experience using an api
Ok, but I’m a little confused. Are you not getting those warnings anymore?
i only saw those errors once after setup when i followed the link the error gave to enable the api google said i don’t have permission or the api doesen’t exist i tried creating a test event on the calendar nothing happened so assumed its not working
i’m not sure how too test whats working and whats not is there a place too check if OH has pulled any info from calendar
You can try putting the gcal binding into DEBUG or TRACE mode to see if it logs anything that helps pinpoint where the problem might be.
I didn’t know how too set it in debug for gcal found it in another post by you just running debug now
Good reading here.
https://docs.openhab.org/administration/console.html
You might also want to stop/start the gcal binding to see what it logs when it starts up.
sorry how do you restart the binding iv never used that command is it bundle:stop
i ran debug didnt find much will restart
Yep
bundle:stop org.openhab.io.gcal
and
bundle:start org.openhab.io.gcal
openhab> bundle:stop org.openhab.io.gcal
Error executing command: No matching bundles
same for bundle:start
i did installed the binding (just checked binding uninstalled) weird
