Ok, so I know what I want and I can seem to do each piece individually, but I want marry them all together. I have (3) three children, each who rotate a set of chores on a weekly basis. For this, I have (3) three separate Google Calendars, one for each child. In each calendar there are (3) three Daily Events that repeat every (3) three weeks. Each event is labeled their chore(s) for the day/week.
Example:
Child 1:
Calendar Name: Child 1's Google Calendar
Event: CHILD 1: Recycle, Vacuum, Feed and Water Pets
Time: All day
Duration: (1) one week
Repeat: Every (3) weeks
Event: CHILD 1: Trash, Bathrooms, Dust
Time: All day
Duration: (1) one week
Repeat: Every (3) weeks
Event: CHILD 1: Dishes, Table, Stove and Counter
Time: All day
Duration: (1) one week
Repeat: Every (3) weeks
Child 2:
Calendar Name: Child 2's Google Calendar
Event: CHILD 2: Trash, Bathrooms, Dust
Time: All day
Duration: (1) one week
Repeat: Every (3) weeks
Event: CHILD 2: Dishes, Table, Stove and Counter
Time: All day
Duration: (1) one week
Repeat: Every (3) weeks
Event: CHILD 2: Recycle, Vacuum, Feed and Water Pets
Time: All day
Duration: (1) one week
Repeat: Every (3) weeks
Child 3:
Calendar Name: Child 3's Google Calendar
Event: CHILD 3: Dishes, Table, Stove and Counter
Time: All day
Duration: (1) one week
Repeat: Every (3) weeks
Event: CHILD 3: Recycle, Vacuum, Feed and Water Pets
Time: All day

Repeat: Every (3) weeks
Event: CHILD 3: Trash, Bathrooms, Dust
Time: All day
Duration: (1) one week
Repeat: Every (3) weeks
I have the Alexa notify skill setup in HA and I can get it to tell me when a certain chore is done. For an example, when the dishwasher is done running I have it send a notification to my Living Room Echo.
I want to take it further - I have actionable notifications set for other devices, and I want the similar here. When the dishes are done, I want it to ask me if I want to notify who’s on that chore for the week and if I say yes, search the (3) calendars for the day, see who it is, and then send that child a notification.
Dishwasher finishes running:
Send actionable notification to Living Room Echo
"Do you want to notify who is on "dishes" today to empty dishwasher?"
If I say yes:
Search the three calendars for "dishes"
Send notification to "notify.alexa_media_child ?" (who ever is on that chore)
"The dishes are ready to be put away"
Dogs water bowl is empty:
Send actionable notification to Living Room Echo
"Do you want to notify who is on "pets" today to give them water?"
If I say yes:
Search the three calendars for "pets"
Send notification to "notify.alexa_media_child ?" (who ever is on that chore)
"The dogs need more water"
Yest, I know this is a far stretch, but I think it is the starting point to some awesome things I can play around with. Do I need this, no - but it is fun to play with.
Thanks everyone!
