I am trying to drive some automation based on our family schedule which we keep in a shared Google calendar. I have got the configuration working and am able to create calendar entities.
For our kids, we have an all-day event in the calendar for every day that is a school day.
My current challenge is that I want to fire some automations based on a couple of questions:
“Is today a school day?” (to start lights and voice notifications in the morning). This one is working fine, using the following config
- device_id: school_today
name: School Today
track: true
search: "#School"
The question that I am struggling with is “Is tomorrow a school day?”(to be used in my night time automations). Here is the config I tried to use
- device_id: school_tomorrow
name: School Tomorrow
track: true
search: "#School"
offset: "!!-1440"
Based on the documentation, I thought that this would fire by looking at calendar events 1440 minutes in the future. I assume that what is happening here is that the current day’s event is causing this one to be in an on state, even though I don’t have a School event scheduled for tomorrow.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
