Calendar Integration
Link a family calendar and upcoming appointments, birthdays, and events appear on the display automatically.
Add a calendar link
- On the Schedule tab, find Linked calendars.
- Choose + Link a calendar and paste an iCal link (
.icsorwebcal://). 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.
