Google Calendar - overlapping events?

So I got an interesting question, if I have a whole day event, and then an event during the day, how do I trigger on the event during the day (the calendar is just on all the time).

in google calendars.yaml you create extra entities based on the event titles

- cal_id: [email protected]
  entities:
    - device_id: cleaner
      name: Cleaner
      track: true
      search:
        - cleaner
        - House Clean

This gives you a new calendar entity calendar.cleaner that you can use for automations. The title of the event would need to contain either item under search.

Hi @SgtBatten

Yes, I had that previously, and that’s the ‘old’ way of doing that, but with the new integration, it doesn’t create the ‘calendars.yaml’ file any more, so it looks like there is a gap in the new integration?

Ahh I see. Yes I’ve been unable to get around all day or conflicting events without that so far.
