Hey everyone, I wanted to share my recent success in integrating multiple Google calendars into my Home Remote setup. If you’ve ever struggled with displaying multiple calendars in one place, you’re not alone! I faced the same challenge and thought I’d document my journey in case it helps someone else.
Initially, I tried using the direct Google calendar URLs for each of my three calendars. While each calendar worked individually, combining them into a single view was a puzzle. After some research, I stumbled upon the idea of using an iframe to embed all three calendars into one page. It wasn’t straightforward, but with a bit of trial and error, I got it working!
Here’s what I did:
- I created a custom HTML file that used Google’s iframe embed feature. I included all three calendar URLs within the same iframe, ensuring they were properly formatted.
- I uploaded this HTML file to a simple web hosting service so it could be accessed via a public URL.
- In Home Remote, I added a new tile and selected the ‘Web Page’ option. I pasted the URL of my custom HTML file into the field.
- To make it look seamless, I adjusted the tile’s size and position to fit perfectly within my dashboard.
The result? A clean, consolidated view of all three calendars in one place! It’s been a game-changer for my scheduling needs.
I also explored the possibility of integrating an Android widget into Home Remote, but the iframe solution proved to be more reliable and easier to manage. Plus, it doesn’t require any additional app installations on my devices.
If anyone else is tackling a similar project, I’d be happy to share my HTML code or offer tips. Feel free to reach out with questions or suggestions!
Happy automating!
