I have created a calendar entry from 8:00 am to 8:20 am. I created the virtual switch that uses this calendar event. So at 8:00 am the switch turns on. I assume at 8:20 am the switch should turn off. The switch is turning on at 8:00 am, but after 8:20 it is still on. Am I misunderstanding how this virtual switch should be working?
I wasnāt waiting 15 minutes. Once I did, the virtual switch turned on at the appropriate time. However, it doesnāt shut off at the end of the scheduled event.
It should be turning off at the end of the scheduled event. What versions of the smartapps and event sensor dth are you using? Do you see an error in the IDE log at the end time of the event?
Are you seeing entries like this under the recent events tab for the device created by the smart app?
The image above is a poor example. It is a sample of how sometimes the app will create an on event then realize that is wrong and turn it off. Happens from time to time. I believe the original code also had the same issue.
But you SHOULD see event like this for when you calendar event start time and end time are. This is how it is working for me and most of my searches I created using the app.
I am using the most recent versions of the smart apps and device handlers from Github. Copied them this afternoon. I see this in the IDE log:

I had a calendar entry scheduled from 9:24 pm to 9:29 pm. Start worked, end didnāt. From the logging it looks like the closetime and endmsgtime are null.
Can you take a screenshot of the setup screen for that triggger? and the summary tile?

I thought the same thing, but itās what came down from GitHub and there were no other updated versions available. Iāll update everything with your new update.
Huh. Iāve sent Github a bunch of updates. Maybe you still had it connected to mnestorās repo.
I just update the actual GitHub settings and I see the updates (so I loaded them) but one showed as conflictingā¦the triggerā¦so Iām guessing it somehow got crossed up with the old repo. The new updates (all 4) got me past the child-app hurdle, but now I get an error when trying to select a calendar. I think I read something about waiting for a bit? Gonna try that. Basically, I can select the calendar I want, but it never savesā¦
Your updates took care of my issues. Thanks for the quick response. You may have left some debugging tiles on in the app UI. I commented them out for now. A suggestion: when you go into the details of the virtual switch that is created in the UI, the background of the icon is orange when on and green when off.
state("closed", label:'', icon:"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mnestor/GCal-Search/icons/icons/GCal-Off@2x.png", backgroundColor:"#79b821")
state("open", label:'', icon:"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mnestor/GCal-Search/icons/icons/GCal-On@2x.png", backgroundColor:"#ffa81e")
You may want to use green for on and red for off. Just a suggestion.
OAuth should be working now. I suspect that you might need to delete your existing GCal search app and start fresh.
Good suggestion.
Good Lordā¦
Ok, so, I deleted absolutely everything. Both Smart Apps, both DTHs, I even shutdown the Google API project and opened a new one. I followed the ReadMe doc to the letter. Now, at least, itās getting the OAuth thing sorted out. BUT, now when I try to create a search trigger, I just get a red bar and a Saving Error notification. If i continue moving through the fields, the info that wouldnāt save shows up, but the trigger as a whole wonāt save and nothing worksā¦
Of note, the files that Iām loading for the SmartApps and DTH all need to be updated through the GitHub integration after I load them on manually. Does this sound right?
anyone??? this is really annoying. I erased my old GCal setup, which was working fine, to move to this and now Iām stuckā¦
