xAP Google Calendar

Google Calendar xAP daemon.

This program will monitor a calendar and produce an xAP payload every minute for as long as the activity is running. The password, once entered, will never be again displayed on the web GUI, this is for security reasons. However, it can be reset by simply entering another.

The polling period determines how often Google is checked for events. All events within the polling period will be cached on the HAH. For example if the current time is 1pm and you check every 1hr, when all events to 2pm will be downloaded and cached on the HAH. This also means that if you schedule an event at say 1:30pm AFTER the xap-googlecal program has refreshed its cache, this event will not fire.

XAP Calendar setup

The /etc/xap-livebox.ini file contains a section that holds the configuration parameters. Only user, enable and passwd are needed, the others will default if missing to those values supplied in the example.

[googlecal]
enable=1
uid=00DA
instance=GoogleCal
user=user@gmail.com
passwd=secret
ufreq=60
