Calendar Integration


#1

I have a piston that changes the color of my hue bulbs to tell my daughter when it’s time to get ready for the bus.
I’d like to use a calendar that contains the days she has off so I can pause the piston so the bulbs will not change color. Has anyone integrated webcore with a calendar and if so, how?

Ifttt and google calendar works to command and trigger WC actions


#3

Search the smartthings forum for gcal, that works well for me. I think the iftt has up to a 15 minute delay from memory unless it’s changed recently

I use gcal too. I imported school calendar from district website and then tied the two together. Works like a champ. However it’s a little finicky to get the gcal initially set up

@Gopack2 Could you share your piston?

Sure This is the ones I use for traveling

They send notifications to my wife when I get to certain citys(places), this way she knows I am ok. And I, as forgetful as I am, don’t forget to send he a message when I arrive
It’s broken up into3 pistons, first one checks the gcal stuff to see if calendar event is started the nex 2 Check’s places and the direction and speed I am moving at. There is a 4th one that I didn’t include as that is just the sms message one with information about my travel direction. Speed and city at
