an iCal Sensor for Home Assistant

iCal Sensor Support for Home Assistant

This integration will create sensors for the next few future calendar events, called:

• sensor.ical_my_calendar_event_0
• sensor.ical_my_calendar_event_1
• sensor.ical_my_calendar_event_2 (...)

And it will create a calendar-entry that can be used in the calendar cards etc.

• calendar.ical_my_calendar

Installation

Copy all files from the "custom_components/ical" directory to your home-assistant config directory under custom_components/ical.

Setup

The integration is set up using the GUI.

• Go to Configuration -> Integrations and click on the "+"-button.
• Search for "ical"
• Enter a name for the calendar, and the URL
• By default it will set up 5 sensors for the 5 nex upcoming events (sensor.ical_<calendar_name>_event_1 ~ 5). You can adjust this to add more or fewer sensors
• The integration will only consider events with a start time 365 days into the future by default. This can also be adjusted when adding a new calendar

Breaking change

If you have used this integration previously with yaml-config, you need to set up the calendars again using the GUI and adjust any scripts/automations etc. to use the new entity_ids that are generated automatically. You can then safely remove any ical sensor and integration config from your yaml files.
