Thanks for the report! You're absolutely right about the lack of good docs, I hope to get to that soon, but certainly do appreciate the help if you end up contributing to it as well! I honestly have not tested custom chores very much yet myself so I apologize in advance for any oversights there.
It sounds like there may be some issues that need fixing here based on the details you provided. I will try and reproduce these issues on my local environment, and assuming I can, I'll get them fixed ASAP. On the documentation front, other than the fact that some of this doesn't seem to work currently, I appreciate anything that you're able to clarify or expand on!
Thanks so much for the details. I'll try to take a look at this again soon!

Describe the issue
Hi @bmcclure, thanks so much for creating this project! I've been planning on setting up a chore system in Home Assistant, and what you've created almost exactly fits what I envisioned, which is amazing.
One issue I've run into - it seems like there are some details missing from the documentation in how to use custom chores. I've tried a bunch of stuff, but I can't get them to show up on the calendar. Here are the things that are unclear to me:
add_date
service, I can see the date gets added in the sensor's "Add dates" field, but nothing else really seems to happen. I'm also not clear on what the "Add dates" field means or how it affects things.update_state
service is useful for custom chores, but it doesn't seem to explain how. I tried calling it after calling theadd_date
service, but it doesn't look like it's doing anything besides updating the "Last updated" timestamp.If you can fill me in on these details, I'd be happy to create a pull request with updates to the documentation. Thanks!
