Iām using a google calendar but I canāt seem to get all the information in the data attribute.
Missing summary and label, everything else is there. Any idea as to why?
Using this card code on GitHub I want to add below card to my Lovelace dashoard.
However on my dashboard it looks like this with āundefinedā.
What am I doing wrong?
My configuration of the addon is:
locale: nl-NL
timeZone: Europe/Amsterdam
fetchDays: 14
fetchDaysPast: -14
fetchCRON: "*/30 * * * *"
calendarList:
- calName: agenda_ton
calType: caldav
username: "!secret calendar_caldav_username_ton"
password: "!secret calendar_caldav_calendar_caldav_password_ton"
caldavUrl: http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:20002/caldav/ton/home/
In editting mode the yaml of the card looks like this:
The development tools is showing correct date attributes:
HASS Environment:
Hass Calendar Addon version: 0.301
Home Assistant 2022.11.4
Supervisor 2022.10.2
Operating System 9.3
Frontend-versie: 20221108.0 - latest
You are using an outdated version of that example card code. Your link points to an older git version. The updated code with the new datafield names is here: hassio-addons/onePersonNext4.yaml at 37638798994b67541061f059350e7fac15eb5136 Ā· kdw2060/hassio-addons Ā· GitHub

With the newest code: works like a breeze! Thank you @kdw2060 Kris!
Just one more strange thing: The output of the sensor gives me a lot of entire day - recurring items.
When I use them in the card :
- they appear in the selection (+14 <> -14) eventhough they should not be according to their dates.
- they appear sorted on top eventhough they should not be according to their dates.
The states in thge development tools show: recurring āfalseā but in Synology Calendar (and outlook via CardDAV Synchorizer addon) they actualy are recurring
SOLUTION:
If you can download some ics files of those events, I can have a look at the cause. Please open an issue on Github for this and include the files there. btw, no promises time-wise as to when I might find time for this.

I compared a good functioning good_event.ics with a bad functioning bad_event.ics in Visual Stucio Code. It turned out the bad functioning bad_event.ics is missing the tag:
X-MS-OLK-AUTOSTARTCHECK:FALSE
I added this tag mannually to the event.ics-file and imported the corrected event in MS Outlook. Now it shows up allright HASS Callendar Add-on well. Cause identified.
Over the years I used many Caldav / Calendar services and clients. I guess these are ghosts from the past. I will correct all disobedient events manually with a firm hand.
Your offer to inspect the bad *.ics-files inspired me to do it myself @kdw2060. Thank you for that and for your support. If you have any questions or want to inspect the *.ics yourself, do let me know.

Lovely card!
I finally managed to get the sensor.
Is there a way to insert one card into multiple calendars? for example, I have my work-mail calendar and personal calendar.
Thatās surely possible, but youāll have to adapt the javascript code to achieve this. Custom button card can do anything you can imagine because it allows you to write your own html/css/javascript and work with the entities-data that Home Assistant provides. But that off course assumes you have some web-development skills and know how to write code.
If you donāt then the easiest would be to just duplicate my button card template and render 2 cards side by side.

hi!
I finally managed to get the sensor working with a google calendar. I am a bit of a newbee, so Iām happy this works!
However, the next step is to add the cards. I thought this would be easy using the code Ton van Loon and you wrote about last November. Now I end up with this:
Iām probably missing something easy, but maybe you guys can help me out?
Thanks!
I can see two things:
- you probably donāt have card-mod installed which is necesarry for the styling. You can find card-mod in HACS.
- you have not updated the image-url to point to a photo/image that you want to use. Either upload to the www folder of Home Assistant and adapt the example link or you could also link to some image on some website.

Thanks! That worked!
Some other questions. Is there a simple way to only show items for the next 24 hours?
And within the same account I have various calendars (birthdays, different people of the family), can this card show events from all calendars? This may have been asked before, but maybe if itās in the same account itās possible?
Thanks again!
Ps. Iāll start learning python soon, hopefully thatāll help a bit 
Some other questions. Is there a simple way to only show items for the next 24 hours?
Yes, just limit the amount of days to fetch to 1 in the addon settings, or alternatively write a template that contains the necessary logic

Euhm, just look at the question right before yours. Youāll need to configure a calendar in the calendarList for every calendar.
Ps. Iāll start learning python soon, hopefully thatāll help a bit
Not necessary for working with the add-on data. Though the jinja templating syntax that Home Assistant uses is related to python, so wonāt hurt to learn python.
Personally I prefer writing javascript in a custom button card. I find javascript easier to understand and work with, but thatās personal preference.

Hi All,
Hoping I may get some insights here - I have installed the addon, and restarted HA. The addon starts but then stops with the below logs.
I have a āfeelingā that it may have to do with the system locale being set to en-US, while Iām in IE, but I canāt seem to get the system to reflect reality - I have updated the system settings.
If anyone can help would greatly appreciate it!
thanks in advance

Has nothing to do with the timezone. Thereās a bug I need to fix. See this issue on Github that also contains a workaround.
Thank you for your quick response! Got that fixed, but then got the below error:
Calendar(s) queried at: Fri Mar 03 2023 18:30:00 GMT+0000 (Greenwich Mean Time)
postEventsAllCalendars error: TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'length')
Events posted to sensor(s) at: Fri Mar 03 2023 18:30:00 GMT+0000 (Greenwich Mean Time)
There was an error loading the gcal data: Error: Not Found
So after reviewing instructions found I had not added the service account to access the calender. Checked the instructions, and there does not seem to be a way to add the service account to a google āfamilyā calender.
The is a way to give family members access, but not individuals (which is visible for my own personal account).
Tried to add the service account to the family account - but it needs to be validated - something which Iāve read cannot be done.
Anyone have any sucess in adding a family calender?
Is there a way to get the number of calendar events for ātodayā? Iāve tried ā0ā days in the config, but Iām getting this error:
Calendar(s) queried at: Tue Mar 07 2023 14:30:00 GMT+0000 (Greenwich Mean Time)
postEventsAllCalendars error: TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'length')
Events posted to sensor(s) at: Tue Mar 07 2023 14:30:00 GMT+0000 (Greenwich Mean Time)
0 entries found in google calendar
There is an entry for today scheduled, so if it worked would expect it to pull in that entry, as it has done sucessfully for days into the future?
thanks in advance
You can leave the fetchDays parameter set to however much days in the future as you wish, what you should do in this case is use scripting in the card you use to display the calendar.
My add-on gives you the data in all kinds of easy to work with formats, but some knowledge of scripting is required to use the data. Like it says in the add-on docs use either the Home Assistant templating syntax (jinja2) or javascript (in a custom button card) to parse/filter/transform the data.
Got it, thanks Kris!
I canāt find any info if this addon works with build in home assistant local calendar. I already have the local calendar conficured to sync with icloud. Is there a way to configure it to use local data?
- calName: home
calType: caldav
username: username
password: password
caldavUrl: http://something (only for caldav/baikal)
calId: googleCalendarId (only for Google Calendar)
googleServiceAccountKeyfile: yourServiceAccountJsonKeyfile (only for Google Calendar)
What would be the url for local calendar? Struggling to find an example.
Thank you so much for help.
The addon was made before the advent of the local calendar in Home Assistant and is meant as an alternative to the calendar integration. So no, wonāt work with a local calendar.
In this thread it is mentioned there is an undocumented api endpoint for the local calendar for which you could set up REST api calls. You could go that route or if you want to use my add-on then follow the docs about apple icloud that are available on the addonās github repo.
