Calendar Integration

Link a family calendar and upcoming appointments, birthdays, and events appear on the display automatically.

Add a calendar link

  1. On the Schedule tab, find Linked calendars.
  2. Choose + Link a calendar and paste an iCal link (.ics or webcal://). It saves automatically.

You can add up to 5 calendars. They are merged into one schedule.

Where to find the link

  • Your own Google Calendar: Settings, choose the calendar, Integrate calendar, "Secret address in iCal format".
  • Someone else's public Google Calendar: see below.
  • Apple iCloud: in the Calendar app, choose Share Calendar, turn on Public Calendar, then copy the link.
  • Outlook: Settings, View all Outlook settings, Calendar, Shared calendars, Publish iCal.
  • Sports teams: use the team's public Google Calendar link (see below).

Public Google calendars (teams, schools, churches)

For a public calendar someone else publishes, such as a sports team, school, or church, paste the calendar's public Google Calendar link (it starts with https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=) into + Link a calendar. No secret address is needed.

When changes appear

Changes in a linked calendar can take up to 30 minutes to appear. Choose Check now to update right away.

What the display shows

  • Events from now through the next 7 days.
  • Only the next few events (up to 6).

One-off appointments

On the Schedule tab, choose + Add appointment and enter a title, date, and time. Location is optional. Notes are for caregivers only and never appear on the display. Appointments you add by hand are merged with linked calendars.

If events are missing

  • Check the link is an iCal address (or a Google Calendar public URL), not a web page address. A link Clean Day cannot read is rejected when you save, with a message explaining why.
  • Make sure the calendar is shared or published so a link works without signing in.
  • Choose Check now.
  • If your plan has lapsed, calendar sync pauses. Appointments you added by hand still show.
