Yes, I think is between 10 and 15 minutes, but you can use a service to update it manually when you need it. Don't remember exactly if it was reloading the calendar entity using the home assistant reload service, or if it was a special service for calendar, check the documentation, I probably read about it there 😁🙌
Try rebooting home assistant and setting the integration again, There is a small window of oportunity to confirm the generated code, if not, google will just block the conection and the time out error will appear.
No, sorry, I just checked and only calendars are shared with this integration. But you could totally get it working with this one github.com/myntath/gtasks-ha I want to cover it in the future, but for now, you can use the documentation, works with hacs.
hi, can i ask why my calendar in HA and my google calendar app are not update in real time? if i add an event on my google calendar app it's not showing on HA until i do some action on the calendar in HA.. like delete an event or add another event. there is some setting to change this? thank you
Sure, but remember that you asked. Home Assistant integrations have two main methods for obtaining updated information: Pull or Push. The "Pull" method works by periodically requesting information at a set time interval, managed by Home Assistant itself. This approach generates a higher system load, as the process runs even when no changes occur on the integration provider. In this scenario, Home Assistant has no way of knowing when updates happen, so real-time functionality is not supported. In contrast, the "Push" method uses webhooks to allow the originating system to send information to Home Assistant whenever a change is detected. This approach is more efficient, as it only activates when there's new data available, providing users with a real-time experience with their integration. For example, if you look at the Google Calendar integration, you will find that it uses a Cloud Polling method. There is no way to configure this time for Google Calendar, but there is a way around that, using the homeassistant.update_entity service.
mmmmm, have you tried rebooting? if that didn't work, remove the integration, and add it again (sorry for the delay, the notification must have gotten lost, and I didn't see your comment.
Hey, I'm not sure what you mean by nothing comes through, but check in developer tools for the calendar that you are using and at least verify if it turns on when an event is currently happening. Before I was able to use a specific description to trigger an automation, I used individual calendars to automate just based on on/off state, hope that helps 🙌
Hi, thank you for replying. When I go into my dev tools and check the states of my calendar, I can see my events. But the automation never seems to trigger when an event is due. Just for context, I'm using google calendar integration, and we have a shared calendar between me and the wife. This calendar is called calendar.house_calendar. In an ideal world, I'm wanting certain subjects in the calendar event to trigger certain automations. @@fixtse.
This video is great. Love the loud click sound. You don't waste any time and your info is correct. Thanks
Great channel! Thanks!
Thanks a lot, great video! Do you know how often does the calendar refresh, or if there's a way to do it automatically? Thanks!

After adding credentials, home assistant times out during establishing connection?

Hello, it is possible to use this card to show the tasks from google calendar instead of events? Thanks!

Settings > Devices & services > look for google calendar, click on the three dots and the on delete, and you can start again 🙌🏼
I cannot get anything to trigger from my calendar. Nothing comes through.
