Please follow the steps below to obtain the Outlook Calendar sharing link and sync it to Weather Station.
Obtaining the URL of an ICS File Format from Outlook Calendar
1. Launch Outlook Calendar and log in.
2. Click the gear icon in the upper right corner to go to the settings screen.
3. Click "Shared Calendars" under "Calendar".
4. Scroll down, select the calendar you want to sync, set the permissions, and then click "Publish" to generate the link.
5. Copy the ICS link.
Synchronizing the Shared URL with the Weather Station
1. Make sure your SwitchBot App version is up to date.
2. Make sure SwitchBot Weather Station has been added to your App and your device firmware version is up to date.
3. In the SwitchBot app, go to Weather Station → Calendar Settings → Sync, then paste the acquired iCal format private URL and name the calendar.
4. Once the setup is complete, the data will be updated automatically. If it has not been updated, you can manually refresh it by pressing the button on the top of the device.
Note:
To ensure the schedule syncs correctly, the location of the SwitchBot Home associated with the Weather Station must match the location set in Outlook Calendar. You can verify the home location in the SwitchBot app by navigating to Profile → Manage Homes → and selecting the home that the Weather Station belongs to.
From a data security perspective, if you move the Weather Station to a different Home within the SwitchBot app, the synchronized personal calendar will be automatically deleted. If necessary, please follow the steps again to resynchronize.

App indicates 'Invalid Entry' when using a properly generated link from outlook.
The ics file is valid and can be downloaded.
The link format is:
https://outlook.live.com/owa/calendar/******REDACTED*****/calendar.ics
Is there a fix for this?
