There was an issue about that log error a couple months ago… related to an intermittent problem with empty calendars. I don’t know if it was fixed yet.
Make sure there is at least one event in your calendar(s) within the time frame of fetchDaysPast - fetchDays, restart the addon. Remember that the sensor only sends a fetch request based on your fetchCron time configuration variable. If you use the default, that means it will fetch on the hour and at half-past. Sometimes the first fetch after restart fails, so let it run uninterrupted through at least 2 fetch cycles.
Hi,
Thank you for your response.
In attachment you see my calendar to test and also my settings.
If I understand you correctly, the add-on will retrieve the data from the calendar every 30 minutes? Is that correct?
After waiting 30 minutes I get this in the log:

Hello everyone,
For me it works now.
But the “caldavUrl:” setting should not be
“https://pXX-caldav.icloud.com/{DSid}/calendars/{pGUID}” or
“https://pXX-caldav.icloud.com/{DSid}/calendars/{calendarName}”
but
“https://pXX-caldav.icloud.com/{DSid}/calendars/{GUID}”.
This way I receive all data very well.
However, if I
https://pXX-caldav.icloud.com/{DSid}/calendars/{pGUID} or
“https://pXX-caldav.icloud.com/{DSid}/calendars/{calendarName}”
I keep getting
´´´´
axios error: [object Object]Request failed with status code 404
´´´´
error message.
At least this way it works for me!!
Thank you to all the people who gave me a little feedback!!
I am trying to use your code and I am struggling to have the sensor populate with anything. On restart, I get the agenda sensor but its empty. Following the RESTful documentation, I used the same details and used cURL and that returned calendar events. Here is what I I have in my config
- platform: rest
resource: https://myurl.com/api/calendars/calendar.calendar_me
name: Agenda
unique_id: calendar_agenda
method: GET
scan_interval: 900
headers:
authorization: !secret rest_events_token
params:
start: >
{{ utcnow().strftime('%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.000Z') }}
end: >
{{ (utcnow() + timedelta(days=5)).strftime('%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.000Z') }}
value_template: >
{% set events = value_json %}
{% for event in events %}
{% if event.start.dateTime %}
{{ (event.start.dateTime | as_datetime).strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M') }}: {{ event.summary }}
{% else %}
{{ event.start.date }}: {{ event.summary }}
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
I have a calendar and it has events in the last 5 days and next 5 days. I’ve set up a long-term token in my secret file, I’ve checked the logs and there is nothing in there on this.
I used this command from the docs (modifying for my instance)
curl \
-H "Authorization: Bearer TOKEN" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
"https://myurl.com/api/calendars/calendar.calendar_me?start=2022-05-01T07:00:00.000Z&end=2022-06-12T07:00:00.000Z"
and it returns events.
Have I missed a vital step? I’d really appreciate a steer.
Thanks in advance.
This looks very similar. I’m not sure what the problem is from spot checking, but maybe I can suggest a couple things.
- turn up debug logging for the rest component
homeassistant.components.restand see if there are any details in the logs about failed requests - make the template return “foo” to confirm its running
- set the return value to " {{ value_json }} " and you can dump the whole thing and make sure that is working
Perfect - thanks for the pointer
Seems we finally got something to ask for data using in automation. In our case calendar data. See 2023.7: Beta release notes - Home Assistant
Yep! This is meant to address this problem, but in the works for awhile now and happy to get it out!

Good job Allen. Thanks!
calendar.list_events- This service allows you to ask Home Assistant for a list of events on your calendar.
Yes! I scrolled all the way through this post hoping for an answer, and it’s just a few days from release! Very happy to see this added. 
Is there a way of merging responses from multiple calendars ?
You’ll have to send separate calls for each calendar. Perhaps you can merge the events lists? I have not tried this
I made this script, for german language, using the new calender.list_events feature, maybe it helps as a starting point for other people.
@ allenporter thx for this new feature. Unfortunately your featured Blueprint did not work correctly.
Start-End: {% if event.start is defined %}{{ event.start }} to {{ event.end }}{% else %}All Day{% endif %}
did not work, because event start and end is always defined, at least for google calendar. My workaround was to check whether an event lasts exactly 86400 seconds = 1 day, in this case it’s an “All Day” event.

If you’re interested, you can simplify the template’s arithmetic if you convert the values of event.start and event.end to datetime objects.
{%- if agenda.events %}
{%- for event in agenda.events if event.start is defined -%}

{%- set end = event.end | as_datetime | as_local -%}

I’m really at a loss for proper documentation, of how HA jinja2 works, seems very stupid to me, why not normal javascript. Whatever.
Start here:
I started reading that too.
This is yesterday’s version, which works with the ical HACS integration
action:
- service: tts.google_translate_say
data:
entity_id: media_player.nest_esszimmer
message: |-
{% set tage = ["Montag",
"Dienstag","Mittwoch","Donnerstag","Freitag","Samstag","Sonntag"] %}
{% for i in range(0, 9) %}
{% if has_value('sensor.ical_tobi_event_' + i|string) %}
{% if (((as_timestamp(state_attr('sensor.ical_tobi_event_' + i|string, "start"))) - (as_timestamp(now())) < 650) and
((as_timestamp(state_attr('sensor.ical_tobi_event_' + i|string, "start"))) - (as_timestamp(now())) > 0)) %}
In 10 Minuten, am {{ tage[state_attr('sensor.ical_tobi_event_' + i|string, "start").weekday()] }}
den {{ as_timestamp(state_attr('sensor.ical_tobi_event_' + i|string, "start")) | timestamp_custom ('%d/%m/%Y') }}
um {{ as_timestamp(state_attr('sensor.ical_tobi_event_' + i|string, "start")) | timestamp_custom ('%H:%M %p') }}
ist {{ state_attr('sensor.ical_tobi_event_' + i|string, "summary") }}
{% endif %}
{% endif %}
{% endfor%}
Now that the service call provides a response is it possible to call the service from within jinja2.
i.e.
{% set agenda = service_call (calendar.list_events, calendar.birthday) %}
Obviously that’s not right, but something like that.
