CalDav with iCloud working

Configuration
1

Just a heads up that the new caldav component seems to be working perfectly with iCloud calendars.

You have to determine your iCloud caldav URL and I’m using two factor authentication so I created an app specific password.

Here is my config:

calendar:
  - platform: caldav
    url: !secret icloud_url
    username: !secret icloud_username
    password: !secret icloud_app_specific_password
    calendars:
      - 'Family'

When it comes up you get some sensors you can use in automations – I’m hoping to automatically disable some wakeup routines on non school days and holidays.

Hi walt,

I followed your instructions, however i am getting a kind of error with the URL, i ended up with a URL like this:
https://pxx-caldav.icloud.com/1698xxxx43/principal//calendars/FF7XXXXA-DB4E-466F-87EF-XXXX1AE01E17

I use my icloud account email address as my username and for the password i have generated an app specific password.

I am running HASS 0.60.0.

Ah i found the mistake, i used the wrong username :expressionless:. It is working, adding custom calendars gives me additional sensors, very very nice!!

Thanks to the guys/gals who worked on the Caldav component!

I’m still getting “unauthorized” errors. What was the format of the username you used? Is it the full email address or just the first bit? Do we know if this works with accounts with 2 factor authentication?

5

User name is the email address. You will need to generate an app specific password if you have two factor enabled.

6

App specific password was what I needed! Thanks for the help!

Had a long time fighting out what the correct URL really is:
https://p43-caldav.icloud.com/102529920/calendars/6C2E048D-17C2-4D5E-93A1-C87D1B0A9BA7/
(I changed some numbers, this URL isn’t really mine :wink:)

And while testing I created a app specific password yesterday, it wasn’t working until I created a new one tonight. No idea if it got deleted because I never signed in with it…?!

Hope this can help someone…

Hey there. Thanks for sharing this - helped a lot!!

Do you guys also have a problem with “all day” events?
My attributes stay empty with on of them active on a day.

If theres a start time it works well…

Just a head’s up to everyone, it appears caldav broke sometime in the latest releases. I fixed the issue by just using the older version renamed to /custom_components/calendar/caldav2.py and modified the config to use caldav2 as the platform.

10

Is this still broken? I managed to get this working briefly with 3 custom calendars from my iCloud calendar. They were visible on Hass and I set up the automations I wanted to drive with them. When the first event should have activated nothing happened and after restarting Hass the calendar was no longer there.

Checking the logs shows this error every time I restart:

Any ideas?

speedyyellow,

I had exactly the same. I managed to get this working briefly with 1 custom calendar from my iCloud calendar. It was visible in homeassistant and I set up the Node-red automations I wanted to drive irrigation. When the first event should have activated nothing happened and after restarting homeassistant, the calendar has never returned. For dev, i have a daily event from 08:30 to 17:50 in the Irrigation calendar.

My configuration.

walt,

i followed your link, copied the code from that version of caldav.py, created custom_components/calendar/caldavcust.py, and pasted the code. i still receive errors at restart. you say “the old version” worked for you?

13

Having trouble getting this to work:

My config is as follows:

calendar:
  - platform: caldav2
    username: !secret icloud_username
    password: !secret icloud_password
    url: !secret icloud_url
    calendars:
      - 'Jeremy (iCloud)'
      - 'Anja'
      - 'Family'

I’ve tried both the version of CalDav in the latest Home Assistant 80.3 and the “old version” as linked above and I can get the 3 calendars to show up but they contain no attributes at all.

When I look through the log I do see this…

2018-10-21 14:08:33 DEBUG (SyncWorker_6) [custom_components.calendar.caldav2] No matching event found in the 0 results for Family
2018-10-21 14:08:34 DEBUG (SyncWorker_6) [custom_components.calendar.caldav2] No matching event found in the 0 results for Jeremy (iCloud)
2018-10-21 14:08:35 DEBUG (SyncWorker_6) [custom_components.calendar.caldav2] No matching event found in the 1 results for Anja

So it looks like it can log in just fine, the URL, app specific password, and username is all good. There is something on each calendar in the future. Shouldn’t it be pulling at least one event? Any ideas?

Still trying to get this to work with my irrigation calendar in iCloud.

homeassistant: 0.86.0 – installed today.
ubuntu 16.4 – dist-upgrade done today.

a diagnostic. by changing the username, i am able to confirm that i am connecting to iCloud because when I change the username, i receive this message:

caldav.lib.error.AuthorizationError: AuthorizationError at ‘https://p52-caldav.icloud.com:443/272825453/calendars/’, reason ‘Unauthorized’

Is Caldav not working with iCloud at all? I have a shared calendar. No I’m using iCloud to google and show the google in HA, but the update time is way to long… 12 hours or something.

Works with 2-Factor Authentification.

  1. Get a app specific password as described here
  2. Configure configurations.yaml like below with
calendar:
  - platform: caldav
    username: [email protected]
    password: xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx
    url: https://caldav.icloud.com

No need to construct the caldav url (anymore?).
