[Custom Integration] Gramps Web Dates for Home Assistant

Hello everyone,

I’m excited to introduce my new custom integration “Gramps Web for Home Assistant” ! It allows you to bring your genealogical data from Gramps Web directly into Home Assistant — and it also includes a dedicated dashboard integration that displays upcoming family events in a clean, ready‑to‑use UI. You can find the dashboard project here: :point_right: GitHub - EdgarM73/gramps-dashboard-ha: Dashboard template for the gramps-ha integration

This makes it easy to keep track of birthdays, death anniversaries, and jubilees right from your Home Assistant dashboards.

:sparkles: Features

  • :birthday: Sensors for upcoming birthdays, death anniversaries, and jubilees
  • :framed_picture: Image entities for individuals (enabled by default starting with version 2026.01.01)
  • :link: Link entities pointing directly to the corresponding person in Gramps Web
  • :gear: Simple configuration through the Home Assistant UI
  • :closed_lock_with_key: Authentication using username and password
  • :date: Configurable number of displayed events

Perfect for dashboards, reminders, and automations related to your family history.

Is it one way, or two way interface? Are updates in your HomeAssistant linked calendars reflected back in Gramps Web?

Hi,

at the moment it is only one way, so you can display it in your Homeassistant Dashboard.

I am not sure, if the other direction will be implemented
