What is MeetingRoom?

With the MeetingRoom custom app you can easily keep track of your schedule and display it onto a screen so your coworkers and customers always know when you're available. You can even create a room booking function using standard widget features. MeetingRoom is able to control the LED lights of compatible media player devices as well.

Prerequisites

To utilize the functions of the MeetingRoom app you need to create a datasource. First let's create a credential so the datasource will have access to your calendar (Click here to learn more). Next create the calendar datasource and don't forget to select the credential type, the credential you created previously and the calendar you want to use. After saving double check if your datasource has your calendar's data by clicking the eye icon in the datasource's row.

Setting up the widget

Datasource binding

After you've successfully created your datasource you can place the MeetingRoom app widget and configure the datasource binding.

  • My dataset: This is the datasource you created that contains all you calendar events. Select only the root of the calendar. When configured correctly your datasource binding should look like this: mr1.png

General settings

Widget types:

Actual meeting widget type can display the title and time of your current calendar event. You can customize the layout and styling under Actual meeting settings.

Sensor events

Using sensor events you can change the led lights of your device depending on the status of your actual meeting type widget. Valid sensor events are:

  • free
  • busy
  • starting

In this example the status light turns red on a QBIC device when there is an ongoing event: mr9.png
