Thank you for answer ,
but HA can only be installed on nspanel pro and I donāt have pro
I want to do something like that but when selecting a device it doesnāt show me anything, only the phone. It was easier for me to upload the software than to create calendar notifications on nspanel now
Yes, there are many things we could add. If I include all the Android and iOS options, it might create an overwhelming number of choices. Thatās not to say these options wonāt be added eventually, but Iām trying to take a more gradual approach.
What Iād really love to see is for Home Assistant to create their own unified notification platform. This way, it wouldnāt matter if youāre using iOS or Android, we could have consistent options that they could develop and maintain.
Iāve created a āWhat the Heckā (WTH) post to start the conversation, but ultimately, itās up to the Home Assistant team to decide if this is feasible. If they can create their own voice assistant, perhaps this is possible too. If youād like to support this idea, you can find the WTH post and vote on it here
Even the post just above this one you can see that this would benifit using a nspanel.
Thanks for your input I will put this on the list.

I get a few of these post and really HA need to work out how this would all be handled. If youād like to support this idea, you can find the WTH post and vote on it here

Iām really sorry, if Iāve missed this somewhere in the thread. Negative offset is allowed in YAML only. Visual editor doesnāt allow values, less than 0.
Though nothing critical, offset can be entered via YAML

In my visual editor it is allowed and I donāt get that message under the values if I enter a negative value (Firefox).
Question, if you enter a negative value and you click save will it save the value? It will still be red but if you go out of the automation and then back into it the red line should be gone.

Hey blacky, Iām using this blueprint to remind me to take the garbage out, and itās been working great. Can I set it up to notify my wifeās phone when I select action 1 (āIāve taken out the trashā)?
You can. What I do is include my wife and my son in the notification message. Then I Enable Action Button Confirmation and then just use the action buttons. The if someone does it they can let everyone know by pressing the action button. Like below.
What this will do is give you 2 action buttons in your first message and if no one actions it within 4 hours it sends out the delay confirmation message so we donāt forget.
If you would just like to notify your wife then you can create an action to notify her and anyone else you would like to notify. You would do this in the start actions.
Blacky
This would require that she gets the notifications to take the trash out, too, right? I want to notify her after I take out the trash, but not send her the notification reminder to do so initially
Okay, no problem then just also add Use The Start Auto Action Options and add a action in Start Action - Action 1 to notify your wifeās phone. Donāt tick Enable start auto action 1. Then when you click the action button 1 in your first notification it will then preform action 1 to then notify your wife.

If the calendar event isnāt editable because iāve been invited to it, then I might not be able to make sure the keyword is in there. Itād be great to be able to alert when an event has more than one participant.
Maybe try not to use a keyword and then add a condition (in global conditions) that will only allow it to run if there are more than one participant.
Blacky
Is there a way to open an external url using the action buttons? for example google.com
i managed to do it with normal notifications using the URI action but it isnt working with this blueprint
need some help here. Iām running on a iOS iPhone with your blueprint. everything is working great except for the āStart Actions Buttonsā. So Iām getting notifications but no actions to press on the phone. Iāve mimic your steps. what am i missing?

Welcome to the community.
You would just use the start or end action to send the notification and then in the data input you would add the action button with the URL link. Example code below.
start_action_1:
- action: notify.mobile_app_your_iphone
metadata: {}
data:
title: Your Title here
message: Your Message here
data:
actions:
- action: ALARM
title: Sound Alarm
- action: URI
title: Search Google
uri: https://google.com

All your settings (YAML) are good.
iOS notifications are tricky, and unfortunately, this is an Apple limitation. When you receive the message, tap and hold the notification until the buttons appear. If you tap it normally, the message will disappear, and you wonāt see the buttons. I know itās frustrating, but thereās nothing I can do to change it.
Blacky
Thought I was going crazy. hahaā¦Damn you iOS!!!
I really appricate all your hard work you put into this BP. Thank you Blacky
Hi, I have my calendars from Baikal via caldav in home assistant, but what ever I do I canāt get the automation to trigger (I have it set to no key words).
Iām probably missing something obvious here
EDIT: I have also tried local Calanders and another addon that supplys calandar
