Calendar

Display Calendar events pulled in from an iCal feed anywhere on a Layout using Elements or select a Static Template to display results in Layouts/Playlists.

Calendar data is provided by an iCal feed which will feed into configured Elements and Static Templates.

Ensure that the ICS feed URL is available to the CMS. If the feed loads in a browser without authentication then the feed should display in the CMS without issue.

Web Hook Triggers

Trigger a Web Hook Action when there is a Current Event or No Event from the Trigger tab.

Example Scenario:

A user has a meeting room calendar configured using the Calendar Widget on a Layout which shows the current occupancy for a room and would like to change LED lights to show when vacant or in use.

The user would first need to create Shell Commands which issued commands to an LED IoT device or the inbuilt LEDS’s on some of the Philips Commercial Displays.
Next an Interactive Action would need to be defined on the Layout, which would Navigate to Widget and Target the Screen, with the Shell Command Widget.
From the Trigger tab, assign the code’s to trigger the Web Hooks for Current Event and No Event.
