How exactly would I handle this when I’m trying to use gcal to find events at the end of a month? My event falls on Monday but I need it to fire when I get home from work on Friday. $day + doesn’t take into account the month.

#2

Not sure about the Gcal aspect, but I sometimes use webCoRE to convert a date into day of the year.

You could always do your math based on that…

#3

I’m sure that’s the answer but it doesn’t help me lol. I have no clue where to set a variable and I’ve been looking.

#4

Ok I figured it out but it’s now giving an invalid datr

#5

Here ya go…

Contact sensor 6 is your Gcal event

Its returning an invalid date

#7

Can you share your piston?

#8

It’s just the one you sent me with my calendar added. I’m just learning how to use variables ect. I have an idea I want to do based off whether I’m on a normal 5 day work week or 4 day week. On basic pistons this works fine but I’m trying to check the weather forecast on Friday for either Monday or Tuesday based off my calendar on Sunday night

when you look in smartthings ide page. You find the device there called cal on-cal m-f. What attributes does it list? What version of Gcal are you running?

#11

Or not still getting an invalid date

Hmm. It should work. Can you share the logs from webcore, set to full.

#15

Leave here if you can, I will look and play with it to see if I can get it working. I got to run. Let you know in the A.M. if I find anything.

#16

Now it’s working for some crazy reason lol

#17

How do I get it to minus days?

#18

Got it

#19

addDays([cal on-call m-f:eventTime],-3). Subtracts 3 days I belive

#20

Thank you so much I’ve been trying to figure that out all day. Now just a matter of trying to figure out how I want to do it. I think if I say “only when” adjusted date is before Friday’s then it will know I’m working on Monday. God I love webCoRE
