[QUESTION]: I keep getting 405 with caldav - what is wrong?

[wuppiwuppi]

Hi,

I believe I am just missing some point in my configuration...

My setup is:

• homeassistant with node red add on and this beautiful extension
• nextcloud as a caldav source using a public link like this: https:// some domain /index.php/apps/calendar/p/SanHbkwwYbsMm39b
• configured that url as type CalDav in the configuration node
• there is no username / password required for this url. tried to name the calendar or leave the field empty

I keep getting this error message:
"caldav - get calendar went wrong. Error Message: Error: Response with status code: 405"

Any hints?

thanks

Hi @wuppiwuppi,

If I try your link from above, I'm redirected to some advertisement sites. So is this really a caldav source?

Response Code 405 means "Method not allowed". I'm sure that a advertisement site won't allow "PROPFIND" or something else caldav specific ;)

Hi,

wow sorry - I did not dare to post my real calendar and thus invented some url. I do not own "aaa.de" and I was not aware that this really leads to something. I removed the above url to avoid future clicks...

So - my real url is a not password protected nextcloud calendar. When clicking on it, it opens a web-calendar. I assume it is an automatic web-view of that caldav source ...

Hey,
no worries ;) This was the most obvious problem ;)

If you have a look at https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/user_manual/en/files/access_webdav.html
your url has be be like https://...some domain.../remote.php/dav/calendars/

This might be the real problem ;)

Hi,

thanks for your dedication to this ;)
So I guess that "Share public link" does serve only a web-version of a calendar. Not CalDav.
Using a private link with a login does not throw these errors.

So this seems to solve it for now.
However I have another Question: Is it possible to get events when the reminder-time of a calendar event is entered?

hi @wuppiwuppi,

nice to read it's working now 👍

to your second question. generally the nodes only output the alarm/reminder time, but do not throw an event, when the reminder time is entered. this might be a new feature #129 😉
