Plugins & Plugin Development openLuup
#1

I am please to announce that GCal3 release 3.1 is now available for openluup and available from Alt App Store.
This is now a common code base for vera and openluup and will be kept in sync.

The forum for GCal3 is here: http://forum.micasaverde.com/index.php/board,68.0.html

If you have not installed GCal3 before (or removed a previous version) The plugin will install in bypass mode. When you Arm – it will connect to a test calendar so that you can verify that it is working correctly.

After this you can enter your own CalendarID and Credentials file by following the instructions and documentation posted here: http://forum.micasaverde.com/index.php/topic,49258.0.html?PHPSESSID=fe319nh3olsht801dg3ajb5vq1

##Release Method## Formal releases will be through the mios marketplace and the Alt App Store.

Release Notes are posted here: http://forum.micasaverde.com/index.php?topic=107871.msg420573#msg420573

Patches will be posted here:

Great move Stuart - what’s the best way to create a second instance in openLuup/Altui please?

#3

I have no idea :frowning:
Not something that I have tried yet.

It’s a better question to ask in the openluup or AltUI forums. I presume there is a "normal"way.

#4

Assuming that’s actually supported by the plugin, then it’s simply a matter of using the +Create button on the devices page, specifying the new instance name and the relevant device and implementation files (which you can get from the attributes of the existing device.)

#5

Yes - GCAL supports multiple instances by design.

The device file is D_GCal3.xml and the implementation file is I_GCal3.xml

I just tried this and it works perfectly.
