Google Calendar - Sleep as Android

Whenever your calendar event collides with your next active alarm, Sleep as Android will move that alarm to an earlier time.


This is a companion discussion topic for the original entry at https://docs.sleep.urbandroid.org//services/google_calendar.html

How can I make it look at other calendars than the default for events?

Is this setting for every calendar subscribed in your google account or does it only apply to the default?

In current implementation only default primary calendar is used for checking events. We consider to add such feature in future.

i, too would appreciate the option to select a specific calendar for the function to automatically reschedule the alarm :zzz::date::alarm_clock::+1:

How do you get a calendar named Sleep or #sleep?

https://support.google.com/calendar/answer/37095?hl=en

I created a calendar named “Sleep” but the app does not connect to my calendar. However I was able to connect to Google fit.

I’ve created the sleep calendar and uploaded data but I don’t see a years worth of sleep data, only a few months. Also it doesn’t automatically sync, and when I do sync manually some days show duplicate data.

Is there a way to show more data, no duplicates and automatically sync to Google Calendar?

Thanks!

I created a Google cal, called it Sleep or “Sleep #sleep” but nothing works, it keeps saying it can’t find the cal. Any suggestion please?

I got it fixed. The Google permission request got hidden.

How did you notice that the permission was hidden? And how did you solve the problem?

I think I did this on my Android mobile and the process sent an authorization message in a different window that I only saw when checking/ cleaning up my many notifications.

I have android 11 and cannot connect this app to my calendar for some reason.

Google is actively blocking access of the sleep app to my calendar

Here too. Updated the app today, but like before, I get the Google is blocking this app message.

I would like some more information about the calendar alarm reschedule feature. My shift at work starts at different times between 5am-10am and my days off are different every week. I want to wake up 1h before work (not earlier since I always waste that time staring at the clock rather than do anything else). On my days off, I like to wake up at 11am.

The calendar somewhat works, but I feel like I’m doing it wrong and don’t know what to fix. I have an alarm set for 11am every day since I always want to wake up by then. On days I work at 9am, great - it reschedules my alarm for 8am perfect.

On days I work at 5am, complete fail - it prompts me to change my alarm manually with a reminder of my event. If I do as it says, my alarm is changed permanently to 4am. After waking up I have to fix my alarm back to 11am, then delete my calendar reminder for the next day, then re-create my next day calendar entry, close SaA, open SaA, turn my alarm off/on, delete & recreate my calendar entry again, until SaA finally sees tomorrow’s calendar again and adjusts it.

I considered just setting my week’s worth of daily alarms in SaA based on my schedule (since every day is different), but I have a tendency to set it wrong when trying to give myself 1h to wake up (either I’ll set it for the time my shift starts or I’ll start mixing up 8:45 and 8:15 and only have 30m to wake up).

*Is there an easier way to accomplish this waking up 1h before event?

*Is there a way to get SaA to check my calendar again if I’ve changed my alarms or events on my calendar for tomorrow?

Does this get implemented yet?

It would be a very useful tool.

Having the ability to select a specific or multiple calendars is very important for people, like me, who have their work schedule automatically imported into its own calendar through an integration with a scheduling system. Until this is implemented I will have to settle for manually advancing my alarm through the postpone system.

I’d love to have the ability to select a custom time off calendar where any full day events trigger the Advance Next Alarm notification.
