Calendar/Schedule access

[6t9camaro]

Any possibility of adding the ability to add items to the JF Schedule?

Would love the ability to easily add schedule events to the calendar, using Home Assistant and a calendar interface. This would make it much easier to schedule things such as 'Sporting Event" lighting, since there are other Add-ins that provide dates/times for those events. This could also open up the possibility to do things like "October 1-31" randomize all of the JF lighting schemes that have Halloween in their name and add them to the schedule.

I use the built in calendar function in home assistant for this function. It is significantly easier than messing with the calendar in JF imo.

@usingapc Can you explain how? I'm not seeing a way to do this....

You can add a Local Calendar as an integration. In the calendar I created all day events on days when I want a specific effect to run.

Then I created an Automation that uses If/Then building blocks to check the calendar for an all day event and run the corresponding effects. If no event is in the calendar, it does my normal night effects that I created. Here is the YAML for my Automation to turn them on(I use a separate automation to turn them off):

alias: Front House Night Lights On
description: ""
mode: single
triggers:
  - event: sunset
    offset: "-00:10:00"
    trigger: sun
  - entity_id:
      - light.front_yard_can_lights
    to: "on"
    trigger: state
conditions: []
actions:
  - if:
      - condition: state
        entity_id: calendar.jellyfish_lighting
        state: "off"
    then:
      - data: {}
        target:

Awesome info! Thank you, I'll give it a go this evening!

[bdunn44]

For what it's worth I do something very similar for my light automatons but instead of the HA calendar I have the events set up in Google calendar because that's what the family uses. There's a nice Google calendar integration that syncs the calendars with HA

[6t9camaro]

Thank you both!
