Book it on the calendar. LogicMachine does the rest.
Logic2Calendar is an app for LogicMachine that reads a standard online calendar and automatically controls the KNX loads associated with bookings. The facility manager does not need to touch the controller for every change: simply create, edit or delete events in the calendar already in use, whether it is Google Calendar, Apple iCloud, Outlook or another service with an .ics link.

- KNXlights, HVAC, irrigation, alarms, scenes
For example, if a sports field is booked from 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM, Logic2Calendar can:
- switch the lights on a few minutes before;
- switch them off a few minutes after;
- take sunrise and sunset into account;
- apply safety limits independent of the calendar;
- respect a manual intervention on the installation.
See how it works
Not only lights
Logic2Calendar controls any on/off, percentage or scene group address: lighting, alarms, irrigation, heating and cooling, boilers, ventilation, signs, controlled sockets, EV chargers, dimmers, blinds, KNX scenes.
| Command type | Example |
|---|---|
| On / Off | lights, pumps, alarms, boilers |
| Percentage 0–100% | dimmers, blind position |
| KNX scene | match, conference, opening |
Reliable even when things change
State-based, not event-based
It does not schedule an ON and an OFF in advance: every minute it checks the situation again and decides what the load should be. So it reacts to a booking deleted while in progress and realigns after a controller restart.
Two safety rules independent of the calendar
Maximum run time, so a load does not stay active beyond the configured limit; curfew, to prevent activation during configured time ranges even if a booking exists.
Manual intervention takes priority
If someone switches a load off during a booking, Logic2Calendar does not switch it back on until that booking ends. If someone switches it on outside booking hours, the app does not force it off just because no booking is present.
Complete power outage. If power is also lost to the controlled load during a booking, when power returns the app may interpret the OFF state as a manual intervention and respect it until the end of that booking. This is intentional, and follows from the priority given to manual commands.
In Visu and on the wall
The calendar page in Visu
If logic2visu is on the installation, Logic2Calendar describes each unit to it by itself, and the wizard builds the calendar page from that, with each load in its room. There is nothing to configure.
The status at a glance
With the “Show the status in Visu” option the page says why the load is on or off, until when a manual intervention holds, and when the next booking starts and what it is called. Four texts, all optional.
Paused from a push-button
A 1-bit object, from Visu or from a wall push-button: the booking in progress runs to its end, then nothing switches on until 4:00 AM, when the pause ends by itself. It survives a controller restart.
For the options that have their own addresses — end warning, display, Visu, pause — the “Create the objects” button creates the missing ones on the controller, with the right type and a readable name, on free virtual addresses. An object that already exists is never changed.
The calendar: what you need
Logic2Calendar reads the calendar directly from LogicMachine. The .ics link must therefore be reachable by the controller over HTTPS without login, cookies, web pages or manual confirmation.
- Google Calendar: the secret address in iCal format. The calendar does not need to be public on the Web: the secret link acts as a key.
- Apple iCloud: enable Public Calendar and use the resulting link.
- Outlook / Microsoft 365: the calendar’s published ICS link.
- Other calendars: supported if they expose an
.icslink LogicMachine can read without interactive authentication.
Google Calendar and Apple iCloud are tested on real calendars. Outlook / Microsoft 365 works with the published ICS link; the menu path to find it is in the guide.
Treat the .ics link as confidential: anyone who has it can read the events published in that calendar.

How to buy and activate it
- Download the app, free, and install it on LogicMachine from App Store → Install from file.
- Buy the license on AgataStore.
- You receive an e-mail with a link to request it: there you paste the controller fingerprint, which you find on the app page with the Copy button.
- The license arrives by e-mail once the payment is confirmed, usually within a few minutes.
- Paste it into the app page and save.
The license is perpetual and valid for one LogicMachine. Without a license the app installs, but controls no loads. To try it there is the trial license: 30 days with all features, free, one per LogicMachine, from the “Try it free for 30 days” button. If you then buy the license, you paste it in place of the trial: nothing to reinstall, and the configuration stays as it is. If you replace the controller, a new license is needed. If you lose your license, write to us and we will send it again.
Requirements
- A LogicMachine that allows installing apps from
.ipkfiles - HTTPS Internet access from the controller
- An
.icsfeed LogicMachine can read without interactive login - The KNX group address of the load to control
- For the first setup, a computer or smartphone on the same network as the controller
- For the Visu page: logic2visu on the same controller (optional)
What you receive
- The app’s
.ipkpackage, always the latest version - The user guide in English and Italian
- The perpetual license for one LogicMachine, by e-mail

Frequently asked questions
Does it only work with Google Calendar?
No. It reads any calendar that publishes an .ics link: Google Calendar and Apple iCloud are tested on real calendars, Outlook / Microsoft 365 works with the calendar’s published ICS link.
Does the calendar have to be public?
Not in the sense of “visible to everyone on the Web”. It must however expose an .ics feed LogicMachine can read directly, without interactive authentication. Google Calendar uses the secret iCal address; iCloud requires Public Calendar; Outlook / Microsoft 365 uses the published ICS link.
Can I try it before buying?
Yes. The trial license runs the app for 30 days with all features, free. There is one per LogicMachine. After 30 days the app stops controlling the installation; if you buy the license you paste it in place of the trial and the configuration stays.
Is a subscription required?
No. The license is perpetual, and the app reads the calendar you already use through its .ics feed.
What happens if the Internet connection drops?
Logic2Calendar keeps the last decision it made, subject to the configured safety rules. When the calendar becomes readable again, it resumes evaluating it.
How do I update to a new version?
Remove the package and install the new one. Configuration and license are kept; do not press “Remove data”.
Can I use it for gates or locks?
For convenience functions yes, but not as the only access-control system: it works with minute-level precision and depends on reading the calendar over the Internet.
Can I move the license to another controller?
No. The license is tied to the LogicMachine fingerprint: if the controller is replaced, a new license is needed.
