I am using calendar.create_event together with some templates to add upcoming rocket launches from the Launch Library Integration to my Google Calendar. It’s working fine including the correct title and a description of the flight. Unfortunately it’s currently not possible to configure the calendar’s notification service via automations. For example, I’d like to set a reminder 30 min before launch in my Google Calendar.
I know that Home Assistant can notify me about upcoming events, including events from Google Calendar, but that’s not what I ask for in this request. Thank you
Make sure it is clear what you are asking for in your FR… you seem to be using “notification” and “reminder” interchangeably, but they are different things in Google:
- Reminders are alarms triggered at a specified time before an event starts.
- Notifications allow users to find out about changes to events in their calendar.
In the meantime, you could just have a specific Google calendar for the launches that has a default reminder set up.
Thank you for your explanation. I wasn’t aware of the difference between notifications and reminders in Google Calendar.
To clarify: I want to set up a reminder via the calendar.create_event action.
