hometime-access-refresh

This is a little node script that refreshes the access token for the hometime app. It is intended to be run as a cron job.

ℹ Background Info

This little script is necessary because I haven't gotten the Google OAuth offline app credentials to not expire after 7 days. So for my calendar-led-strip project, we're using gcalcli which requires this generated oauth file which is generated via their gcalcli --init command.

So long story short, this script executes that init command, inserts your clientId and clientSecret and then opens the browser for you to login with your Google account. After you login, it saves the generated oauth file and optionally copies it to the little server running the hometime service and restarting the appropriate systemd service.

📦 Setup

1. Clone the repository and make a copy of the env vars file

git clone https://github.com/ndom91/hometime-access-refresh && cd hometime-access-refresh
pnpm install
cp .env.example .env.local

2. Update the .env.local file with your credentials
3. Run start npm script or run it as a cron job
