Feature Request: caldav compatibility

[klundry]

Would it be difficult to make this skill usable with a caldav account I purposefully avoid google services and use my Nextcloud server for my contact and calendar sync instead. It would be great to be able to use a caldav account.

With a layer of abstraction it could work. I know very little of caldav but there seem to be a python module available for it (https://pythonhosted.org/caldav/)

Can you recommend a good starting point if I want to setup a caldav calendar for trying it out?

[klundry]

If you have access to a Nextcloud instance you can just use that. Otherwise radicale is good and looks like its super easy to setup. https://radicale.org/2.1.html

[klundry]

Also, I am willing to help test if you would like. I already use caldav calendars.

[forslund]

I'll experiment a bit with radiacle this weekend and see how far I'll get. Will update here when / if I get a branch ready for test

[forslund]

Short update didn't get as much time as I wanted this weekend but tonight I have at least refactored the code to allow for adding caldav support. Hopefully I get some more free time one of these evenings to make that part working as well.

[forslund]

I've pushed a branch called feature/caldav, I've basically just barely got it up and fetching events. So there is still lots of work to be done but what's next on my calendar should return something.

If you check out the branch you will need to install the requirements.txt manually int o the mycroft-venv: mycroft-pip install -r /opt/mycroft/skills/gcalendar_skill.forslund/requirements.txt (I think)

[forslund]

I'll continue working on this but on the Mycroft-chat I learned that there exists a calendar skill already with caldav support if you wish to try it out: https://github.com/LinusS1/calendar-skill
