Calendar Card Pro - A beautiful, high-performance calendar card for Home Assistant

No specific requirements, no.

Are you on v3.0.2?

Yes I am. It just doesn’t select it through the GUI. Also tried a new card, so not editing my existing one, but just placing a new one, but the same behavior.

Created an issue on github [Bug]: Unable to select Weather entity · Issue #214 · alexpfau/calendar-card-pro

Maybe it’s nothing, and it’s just specific to me.

Hi

Is there a way to show a Friendly Name from which calendar the event is from. Colour Code isnt always that great.

Thank you

Yes, I am aware of that. But it is not working for me as mentioned. Thanks for the screenshot though, might help some others.

Hi,
Love this project, it’s such a beautiful, clean card that my family uses every day, so thank you!
Wondering if this is the right place for a feature request?
We have this linked to a dedicated gmail calendar, and from time to time, we have events dropping in that are forwarded, so the event title begins with “FW:”. With such limited space on our screens I want to display only the most crucial information, so I was wondering if we could implement a feature to optionally mask or hide selected text from the event title? I’ve gone to great lengths to try and do this via templates inside HA, but it’s not possible as templates make a sensor and this card only reads calandar.xxx entities and not sensors.

Happy to raise somewhere else. Thanks again for the great card.

Anyone knows there is a way to display the category of the appointment in this nice card? An icon would be great. I tried it with the “allowlist”, but didn’t worked, although it is available in the appointment of the sensor, it

If you don’t mind, please check the existing feature requests in my GitHub repo (under “issues”) if there’s one that matches your idea closely enough, or create a new one if not. :slight_smile:

Can you please help me understand what you mean with “category”? If this is a property that only exists in your native calendar (web)app but not in the Home Assistant calendar using your calendar integration of choice, there is no way to display it in my card. You can see what properties your calendar’s events have by using HA dev tools, calendar.get_events, choose the calendar entity and a timeframe, and see what gets returned.

Sorry for not being clear.
In the HA Dev tools under the status of my calendar it does have the categories I selected (in Outlook).

I’ve searched on github, but couldn’t find it.
I thought maybe I overlooked something so I asked my question here. I thought maybe it already works with an allowlist and label.

The response you get in the HA dev tools should look similar to this:

The response message format in your screenshot above looks different though. Can you please provide the response when you run calendar.get_events on your desired calendar entity?

Right, so then it does not shows categories :frowning:

The categories are available when I look up the status of the calendar sensor (that was my first screenshot). SO I thought that it should be possible to show it in your card also.

If I am not mistaken, that sensor you are referring to always only shows the current/next event, not a flexible list of events, which makes it useless for purposes of a dashboard card. Correct me if I’m wrong.

Yes I think that is the case. I got to think how to workaround then. Thanks for looking into it.

I have the newest integration, love it. Using v3. strangest thing, I just noticed it happening and it’s a new occurrence. On my phone companion app, and in the browser, I see all the events for the next 5 days as per the settings. But on my wall tablet running fully kiosk browser, it just shows today’s date, the 10th, and says no events. That’s crazy! It’s not set on a device by device basis. I’ve restarted fully kiosk, shut down the tablet, re-started Home Assistant. Any advice please?

Sounds like a caching issue, either only with the card‘s cache containing the events, or with on old version of the card itself being cached on your tablet. To test the first, try setting the cache interval in your calendar card config to 1 (min) temporarily, refresh the page on your devices and wait a moment. See if the events appear. If it’s the latter of the above mentioned potential issues, you may try to remove and reinstall the fully kiosk app.
