I added 3 calendar events in. One with Blocked, another one with Auto-Blocked and another one with just some text Working well. I used your YAML only changing the calendar used, offsets and I turned ON / OFF a different switch.
The only notification I got was the one that had Working well the other 2 calendar events were stopped on the condition.
Remember it is case sensitive. Example; it must be Blocked not blocked

Hello all,
Could someone take a look at what I have created below to see if there are any glaring issues:
The part that I am somewhat concerned wonât work is the additional action I added to get a notification across the smart speakers in the house. The script I have called out with the arguments I have listed works in other automations but I wasnât sure if it was ok to use it in this aspect here.
Also, is there a way to use this (the text that is being represented by this code): {{ trigger.calendar_event.summary }}
i.e. what is contained inside of that code (the title of the calendar event and have it said by the smart speaker rather than having to hardcode the text I would like said (shown below in the speech_message area)

Hello,
Maybe I am missing, but I can not find iOS critical notification sound level. Main reason always on top notification with no sound.
First things first, this blueprint is really great work, it has all features I can imagine.
I downloaded version 2.0 and tried to notify my Android mobile, but without success. Problem is, from my point of view, the push line in data section:
domain: notify
service: mobile_app_fp4
service_data:
title: MĂźll
message: Gelber Sack muss rausgestellt werden !
data:
push:
interruption-level: active
actions:
- action: BUTTON_1_01K9AA77614PB9TVDT3BZ2B46P
title: Gelber Sack rausgestellt ?
- action: BUTTON_STOP_01K9AA77614PB9TVDT3BZ2B46P
title: []
As I could not get rid of interruption-level (even if you delete dropdown box, it defaults to active), I tweaked the blueprint a little bit, line 710:
default: []
Now it works 
What do you think ?
Looking at the message you want to send your Calendar Start - Offset may need to be -30 with a minus (-) not 30 as that will send the notification 30 min after it starts and you would like 30 min before it starts.
Blacky
If your Interruption Level - iOS Only is set to Critical Notifications then it will always play a sound at full level. See FAQ click here.
This is set by Apple

Thank you for looking at that for me. I will change that and see what happens.
Hi,
First of all, thanks for a great blueprint, it works great 
Is it possible to have a setting to change to trigger on specific words in the title instead?
HmâŚthis is probably a me thing butâŚ
I have a calendar entry called âJane - Rangersâ but for some reason even though the calendar is currently on itâs not triggered by the âRangersâ search.
alias: Car - Rangers Night - Preheat Car
description: ""
use_blueprint:
path: Blackshome/calendar-notifications-and-actions.yaml
input:
calendar: calendar.m365_kara
calendar_trigger: "@Rangers"
start_calendar_offset:
hours: 0
minutes: -30
seconds: 0
days: 0
Am I using the trigger wrong?
Yes you using @Rangers and you should be using Rangers. Think of the keyword like a password and it is CaSe seNsitive to.
Blacky
Thanks, I will read the instructions better next time.
Ok, I misunderstood the docs mentioning I should put an @ in front of the keyword. Iâll try without.
Cheers
EDIT: Ok, NVM, the script is still running as expected. Iâm not sure what the error is but it still seems to work as expected.
Ok, the keyword problem is fixed.
The automation triggered when expected however it errored out near the end after I confirmed the notification and it was going to run my script with:
Executed: November 18, 2025 at 6:30:00 PM
Not sure from the trace if this is where it bombed:
trigger: calendar
id: t0
event: start
entity_id: calendar.m365_kk
offset:
hours: 0
minutes: -30
seconds: 0

It kinda looks like it just stops after the âcheck if auto actionâ part is reached.

@Blacky End Notify triggers/runs when it is disabled, can you fix it?
und das Logger: homeassistant.helpers.template Quelle: helpers/template/__init__.py:2333 Erstmals aufgetreten: 08:07:21 (1 Vorkommnis) Zuletzt protokolliert: 08:07:21 Template variable error: 'dict object' has no attribute 'calendar_event' when rendering '{{ trigger.calendar_event.summary }}'
I have tested it here again and it does not sent the end notification when it is disabled.

Requesting assistance to ensure I am going about this the right way.
I have a couple Google calendars:
Using Google TTS announce via Google Home speakers, say prior to an event starting and at the start, where offset times vary. I am using tags in the event descriptions; â15mâ, â30mâ, â45mâ, etc.
Current Automations:
âFamily Routine Calâ - keyword only - all events tagged
1A. âFamily Routine - 0m tagged eventâ
1B. âFamily Routine - 15m tagged eventâ
1C. âFamily Routine - 30m tagged eventâ
âFamily Calâ - both keyword and non-keyword - some events tagged
2A. âFamily - 45m tagged eventâ⌠etc.
2B. âFamily - 15m untagged eventsâ - this will double up and trigger for all calendar events, including those tagged with 45m - any workaround? Is there a better way?
I am also interested in triggering a TV screen cast display preset images or AI generated - âdinnerâ, âkarateâ, âbrush teethâ, etc. but have not gotten that far.
