I am using 2 python script first one is for reminders that is not a year like birthdays
"""
Script to create a sensor displaying the number of days until some event.
Automate to update every day.
"""
name = data.get('name')
type = data.get('type')
sensorName = "sensor.{}_{}".format(type.replace(" " , "_") , name.replace(" " , "_"))
dateStr = data.get('date')
dateSplit = dateStr.split("/")
dateDay = int(dateSplit[0])
dateMonth = int(dateSplit[1])
dateYear = int(dateSplit[2])
date = datetime.date(dateYear,dateMonth,dateDay)
day_of_interest = datetime.datetime(dateYear, dateMonth, dateDay)
now = datetime.datetime.now()
diff = day_of_interest - now
hass.states.set(sensorName , diff.days,{
"icon" : "mdi:calendar-star" ,
'unit_of_measurement': 'days',
"friendly_name" : "{}'s {}".format(name.replace("_" , " "), type.replace("_" , " ")) ,
"eventdate" : "{}/{}/{}".format(dateDay,dateMonth,dateYear) ,
})
The second for birthdays
