I have a shared family calendar. I also have a wake-up lights automation for the morning so i will setup the automation to check if my wife and I have the day off work (in the calendar) so the lights stay off. I already use the inbuilt Workday sensor but the google calendar addition will be helpful and save me having to manually add these dates to the local one. Thanks.
As i already had the G.A. integration in Home assistant, i just add the calendar API and then, followed from 2'53'' in video to add app OAuth and a new credential in my existing GA project and all seems to work fine ! thank you so much "Smart Home Junkie" ❤
Its like you read my mind. Im trying to setup a little calendar in the kitchen and DAKboard is noce but wanted to be able to scroll to another month so im going to try this
I think the calendar integration makes sense to a degree - but I would really like to trigger an event (say a conditional card to display) only when a specific entry is found on a calendar for that specific day which seems to be difficult to achieve
Should be possible. That's what i'm trying right now. The action is defined as yaml: service: "{{ trigger.calendar_event.summary.split(' ')[1] }}" data: {} target: entity_id: "{{ trigger.calendar_event.summary.split(' ')[0] }}" or service: "{{ trigger.to_state.attributes.message.split(' ')[2] }}" data: position: "{{ trigger.to_state.attributes.message.split(' ')[3] }}" target: entity_id: "{{ trigger.to_state.attributes.message.split(' ')[1] }}" light.xy ON / shutter.xy position 50% f.ex.
@@RND-USA Sort of, yes. I was able to trigger events. But it was unreliable. Sometimes the calendar event triggered and so switched the light on/off, sometimes no event, and no log entrty. When defining a calendar event, the duration of the event itself has to be only 1min. No two events can occur at the same time (switch light on at 21:00 and a second event at 21:00 shutter down f.ex.).Also you have to define one calendar entry for light on, and a second for light off.
@@dirkhilges oooh very interesting. That’s helpful to know for sure. What are you using at the Awtrix server currently? I’m just getting into this project and ordering parts (want to do an ESP32 build). 🤗
Is there an easy way to have an automation where my LED strips (WLED) change colors/effects/presets based on a calendar event?

Hi! Nice video. Did exactly what you did with the notifications. However, notifications never arrive on my phone (they do when I use a text helper instead of the trigger.calendar_*) to send a message OR if I just send plain text after 'message:'). Error (tracing): Error rendering data template: UndefinedError: 'dict object' has no attribute 'calender_event'. Using it to send birthday notifications in my (local) calendar.
will be amazing if there is an option to only show a message of there is a calendar in the x amount of hours.. so the "no new appointments shows " thanks and a happy donor
Hi, is there any way to automate something if there is (or there is not) an event planned for the day? For example: trigger: at time19:00; condition: there's no event on the calendar today; action: turn lights off. thanks
New Problem in HA with the automation: Use of the obsolete "calendar.list_events" service recognised Use "calendar.get_events" instead, which supports multiple entities. Please replace this service, adjust your automations and scripts and select Submit to close this issue.
I really want to use this integration, but when I try to do this, i get a screen to open a link and insert a code, then i select my acount and after that i get back to HA and it reads That i have to activate the google calender API in the cloud console, although i already did this and its veryfied to be online. Any fix?
@@SmartHomeJunkie is it possible to nit pick events from the calendar? There are certain calendar events of entries I don't want to be sent. Is that possible ? If not will I be able to create them with some kind of custom calendars in Google or home assistant?
@@fredzibulski3111 The thing is that Home Assistant should recognize what events you want to show, so you must have to have some sort of identifier to identify the event that you want to show.
Using the Yaml example before you did the clock part, is there a way to format the time and date? Basically it comes up with the full date and the full time including gmt/bst hours…I think 🤣

Agreed, this is what I was hoping for. I want to trigger different things based on the title of the event.
Should be possible. That's what i'm trying right now.
The action is defined as yaml:
service: "{{ trigger.calendar_event.summary.split(' ')[1] }}"
data: {}
target:
entity_id: "{{ trigger.calendar_event.summary.split(' ')[0] }}"
or
service: "{{ trigger.to_state.attributes.message.split(' ')[2] }}"

How do you create the automation to announce the event on a google speaker and not notify mobile handset with push notification?
will be amazing if there is an option to only show a message of there is a calendar in the x amount of hours.. so the "no new appointments shows " thanks and a happy donor
Don't think it matters much, but wouldn't you typically want to call the update entity service rather than reload config entry?

But, how do you trigger an automation for a specific calendar event? Not every event!
Will this send all events in the automation? Is there a way to announce specific events only from the calendar ?
How would you identify specific events?

There must be something different on your side then. Did you take the 15 minute timeframe into account?
Can someone explain the new checkboxes for Triggers? Are they 'AND' statements if multiple triggers are selected for a single condition?
What checkboxes do you mean? I do not see any checkboxes in Triggers...
@@SmartHomeJunkie Automations>Choose>Conditions>Trigger, I see checkboxes
@@diedrichg Ah, you mean the trigger IDs! They're OR.
Not sure I see the need for it but can you set the iOS calendar instead of the Google calendar?
You can use any caldav calendar as well

This indeed.
@@SmartHomeJunkie so can it be done then?

Very frustrating. The notification code doesn't appear to work.
