Hi, I am currently using @pinkywafer’s anniversaries integration as a glance card. I have 6 anniversaries set, and will likely get more. I was wondering what the best way would be to only show the 3 next upcoming ones?
You could use the excellent lovelace-auto-entities card by @thomasloven https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-auto-entities

You can do something like:
type: 'custom:auto-entities'
card:
type: glance
filter:
include:
- entity_id: sensor.anniversary*
sort:
method: state
numeric: true
count: 3
Which will automatically pull all anniversary entities (that have the anniversary prefix) sort them and display the top 3

Hello,
is it possible to display more information.
For example : age.
I tried with “secondaryinfo-entity-row” and “multiple-entity-row” but it doesn’t work.
Do you have an idea ?
Thank you
Sure, you just need to know which attribute you want. The ‘current age’ attribute would be current_years I used this as the anniversary may be something other than birthdays, so age wouldn’t seem right if it was years since something happened! There’s also a years_at_next_anniversary attribute!
Anyway, if you’re using multiple-entity-row, your config for the entity should be something like this:
- type: custom:multiple-entity-row
entity: sensor.anniversary_your_birthday_sensor
entities:
- attribute: current_years
name: age
unit: years
Hope this helps

Super Chikite, thanks!
Still learning ;-)… is there way to get a notification on my phone in the morning (let’s say at 8) for an anniversary occurring on that day? I can do this on individual anniversaries but how to run this across all anniversaries (also when I add new), do I need a group of sensors for this?
All, I have tried to write a code to alert me in the morning for any anniversaries. Code is not yet working, anybody able to support? Thanks
alias: Notify anniversary
description: ''
trigger:
- platform: state
event_type: state_change
condition:
- condition: template
value_template: "{{ trigger.event.data.entity_id.startswith('sensor.anniversary_') }}"
action:
- delay: '08:00'
- service: notify.mobile_app_iphone
data:
message: '{{ trigger.to_state.name }} has his/her anniversary'
title: Anniversary!
mode: single
Hi, for remaining days state, how do I display 1 month 5 days instead of 35 days?
Hi,
Did you solve how to present the days in months and days?
Can anyone also tell how to get the columns straighter?
The “age” column isn’t lined up correctly due to the remaining days are one, two or three numbers long.
Anyone managed to get card_mod working for this to remove background and box-shadow?
Hi,
I created a ‘today’ sensor:
template:
- sensor:
- name: "anniversary today"
unique_id: anniversaries_today
icon: "{{ iif(states(this.entity_id)|int(0) > 0,'mdi:alert-circle','mdi:check-circle') }}"
unit_of_measurement: people
state: >
{% set entities = state_attr(this.entity_id,'entity_id') %}
{% if entities != none %} {{ entities|count }} {% endif %}
attributes:
entity_id: >
{% set entities = states.sensor
| selectattr('entity_id', 'search', 'anniversary')
| rejectattr('entity_id', 'search', 'today')
| rejectattr('entity_id', 'search', 'tomorrow')
| rejectattr('entity_id', 'search', 'fortnight')
| selectattr('state', 'eq', '0')
%}
{{ entities|map(attribute='attributes.friendly_name')|list }}
current_years: >
{% set entities = states.sensor
| selectattr('entity_id', 'search', 'anniversary')
| rejectattr('entity_id', 'search', 'today')
| rejectattr('entity_id', 'search', 'tomorrow')
| rejectattr('entity_id', 'search', 'fortnight')
| selectattr('state', 'eq', '0')
%}
{{ entities|map(attribute='attributes.current_years')|list }}
And then a ‘today’ automation:
automation:
- alias: "Notify Anniv. today"
id: 'notify_anniversary_0'
trigger:
- platform: time
at: "10:00:00"
condition:
- condition: template
value_template: "{{ states('sensor.anniversary_today') != '0' }}"
action:
- service: notify.mums_devices
data:
title: "{{ states('sensor.anniversary_today') }} event(s) today:"
message: >
{{ state_attr('sensor.anniversary_today','entity_id') }}
{{ state_attr('sensor.anniversary_today','current_years') }}
data:
push:
thread-id: "Info"
sound:
name: "default"
critical: 1
volume: 0
and a dashboard view using condition card. I happen to display it as a mushroom-chip-card, but you can do it any way you like.:
- type: custom:mushroom-chips-card
alignment: center #end
chips:
- type: conditional
conditions:
- entity: sensor.anniversary_today
state_not: '0'
card:
type: template
entity: sensor.anniversary_today
content: "{{ sensor.anniversary_today }} is {{ state_attr('sensor.anniversary_today','current_years'}} "
icon: mdi:cake-variant
icon_color: red
tap_action:
action: navigate
navigation_path: /home-dash/dates
I know this is late, but only just saw your post so hope it helps you or anyone else that comes looking.

Wow. thanks Jchh. In the meantime have learned a bit more about jinja and have directly applied it into my automation (without a ‘today’ sensor).
{% set result = namespace(sensors=[]) %}
{% for state in states.sensor if 'sensor.anniversary_' in state.entity_id %}\n {% if 0 <= state.state | int(-1) < 1 | int %}
{% set result.sensors = result.sensors + [state.name ~ ' (' ~ state_attr(state.entity_id, 'current_years') ~ ' jaar)'] %}
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
{% if result.sensors[1] is defined %}
Vandaag zijn jarig: {{result.sensors|join(', ')}}
{% else %}
Vandaag is jarig: {{result.sensors|join(',')}}
{% endif %}\n"

Yes, useful to learn a little jinja2, isn’t it 
I’ve put this code in a Markdown card.
My main view starts with a horizontal-grid-card that has a number of sub-cards for “important things” like
- put trash outside now
- birthday coming up in X days
- current power consumption if higher than X
- wife <30 minutes away from home - clean out the dishwasher
- and other important messages.
Each of these cards has a custom-state-switch that shows/doesnt_show a markdown-card.
I created a helper sensor.helper_days_until_first_anniversary that shows the lowest number of days until next anniversary.
The custom-state-switch checks if this helper is below 30. Then it can show the markdown card.
