Evidently 2020 having 53 weeks means 2021 has swapped odd/even weeks for my council’s schedule.
Simple enough to swap the bin types around in the Python code though.
import datetime
today = datetime.date.today()
if today.weekday() > 3:
# If this Thursday has passed, we only care about next week.
today = today + datetime.timedelta((0 - today.weekday()) % 7)
# Get the ISO week number (1-52~53)
week_number = today.isocalendar()[1]
if (week_number % 2) == 0:
# Even weeks are for Recycling
collection_type = 'Recycling'
else:
# Odd weeks are for Garden Waste
collection_type = 'Garden Waste'
print(collection_type)
And just as a refresher (for those searching, and have a simple week-about schedule), these are the sensors…
sensor:
- platform: command_line
name: bintype
command: "python3 /config/python_scripts/bin_week.py"
- platform: template
sensors:
bincol:
friendly_name: "This week's bin"
value_template: '{{ states("sensor.bintype") }}'
entity_picture_template: >
{% if is_state('sensor.bintype', 'Recycling') %}
/local/images/bin_yellow.png
{% elif is_state('sensor.bintype', 'Garden Waste') %}
/local/images/bin_green.png
{% endif %}
… and my two bin images (just recoloured mdi-trash-can-outline)
