hi
woud like to know I follow all the instruction however there is no button for me to cancel either comfirm. would like to know where should I set it up right to see the button in IOS system
thanks a lot
Welcome to the community.
I not sure if you set it up correctly but if you have when you get the message on your iOS device then you need to tap and hold the message then the buttons appear. With iOS you have one shot at doing it or the message will disappear… there is nothing I can do about that it is iOS.
If this doesn’t work then could you please provide us your YAML of the automation? This YAML code are the settings you have selected in the automation so I can help. To do this go into your automation, top right 3 dots, Edit in YAML, copy all the code, come back to the forum and in your reply at the top tool bar click on “</>” and paste code in there.

Can you re post your YAML again and this time use the ‘</>’ button just above where you type. Paste your code in there and it will keep the correct format for me.

That’s better… thanks.
Looking at it you have an offset of -9 for the start… so if you are using an all day event the event starts at 12am and finishes at 12am there are 24 hrs between these times… it is hard to get your head around and it always get me to. So say your all day event is on the 10th then a start offset of -9 will send you a notification on the 9th at 3pm. You have -10 for the end so your notification will be on the 10th at 2pm but it is not enabled so nothing will be sent just trying to explain how it works. If you would like to be notified on the day then you are probably looking for an offset of start 15 then you will get notified on the 10th at 3pm.
Only events with #recycle will be sent.
Hope this helps you… let us know how you go.

I thought I’d followed the FAQ correctly but if I set an event to trigger I get the following in the trace…
Triggered by the at September 14, 2024 at 10:20:00 AM
Test Test if any of 2 conditions matches
Stopped because a condition failed at September 14, 2024 at 10:20:00 AM (runtime: 0.00 seconds)
From the yaml below…

start_action_button_confirmation_title: Bought
start_action_button_confirmation_message: Bought
start_action_button_stop_confirmation_message: Not bought
start_time_delay_confirmation_message: too late
Can anyone suggest what condition may have failed?
I have had a look at your YAML.
First you need to enable the start notify option as shown below.
Next your need to put some text in the cancel button as shown below.
You should be all good to go, make the changes and test it out… let us know how you go.

Hi, if I have more than one calendar at the same time, the HA app will show only one notification. It will not stack them. If I set them up with 1 min apart, then will work fine and will stack them fine. Is the issue with the blueprint or the app?
Ignore my post. I updated the blueprint to the latest version and now works fine. I had no idea that I must update blueprints too… Thanks!

Dear all,
Forgive me if this request has been shared before, but a quick search didn’t gave me any proper results.
For years, I have been using the Homey iCal integration to receive notifications for new and modified events from my iCal calendar via the Homey platform (IcalCalendar App for Homey | Homey). However, Home Assistant does not currently support a similar integration, which would greatly benefit users who rely on iCal for managing their schedules and want to be notified about changes made in their calendars.
Key Features:
- New Event Notifications: Send notifications to Home Assistant whenever a new event is added to the iCal calendar.
- Modified Event Notifications: Notify users when an existing event has been updated, allowing for real-time changes in automations.
The source code for the existing Homey iCal integration is publicly available on GitHub (GitHub - runely/calendar-homey: Gives Homey flow cards to trigger on your calendar events), which could serve as a starting point for development within Home Assistant.
I was curious to understand if this functionality could be added to the blueprint or not.
Thanks for taking this into consideration!
Thanks for that Blacky, I shall try to do it right this time!

Hi, thanks for the Blueprint…awesome work. I have a couple of questions, why are the notifications limited to App only devices? I’m looking to have Alexa devices notify me of meetings.
Also, to make different offsets available i.e. zoom meeting needs 15mins, travel across city needs 2hrs offset, I thought to create two automations and use two keywords @salert, @lalert. Is there a better way?
Hi Gary, you just simply add a start or end action. You will probably use a “TTS” action.
Blacky
Of course! I was too lazy just looking in the start notify device list!
