Specify local file path information in docs

Neither

• https://github.com/mampfes/hacs_waste_collection_schedule/blob/master/doc/faq.md

nor

• https://github.com/mampfes/hacs_waste_collection_schedule/blob/master/doc/source/ics.md#configuration-variables
• https://github.com/mampfes/hacs_waste_collection_schedule/blob/master/doc/source/ics.md#local-file

specify, where the file has to be stored.

1. Is "calendar.ics" meant to be the share /config/calendar.ics?
2. What would the file: parameter need to look like when the file is e. g. located in /config/customfolder/calendar.ics ?

I've always assumed path references are relative to the configuration.yaml as that's where the config info is based and being called from. On the assumption your configuration.yaml file is in the config folder, this should work for the set-up you've described (and isn't too different to how I've referenced .ics files in the past).

waste_collection_schedule:
  sources:
    - name: ics
      args:
        file: "./customfolder/calendar.ics"

Update: according to https://github.com/mampfes/hacs_waste_collection_schedule/blob/master/doc/installation.md#configuring-waste-collection-schedules the ICS always needs to be in /config/www/.

path then specified as file: "www/calendar.ics" following https://youtu.be/aCKLKGYiA7w?t=365.

Please specify this too. Just too many things which could fail.

The problem with local files and relative paths is, that it also depends on the Home Assistant installation type (core vs supervised vs OS vs ...). Therefore it is not easy to give a single answer. But it would be nice if you could help, e.g. by creating a PR which describes your environment and solution.

Running on HA OS I'm using file: "www/abfall/abfuhrkalender_home.ics" now. That information basically originates from the linked YT video (you referenced).

@bcutter Please check if the docu is correct for your environment.

Looking good now (except one typo in "Therefore place the ics file their." ==> their --> there).

Thx for updating the docs 👍🏼
