Google Calendar set helper based on all day event

Configuration
1

HI,

i have installed yesterday the Google Calendar integration. I see my calendar been synchronized from Google. Because there is no google_calendar.yaml anymore i try to create an automation to set an helper to on if there is an all day event in my calendar with the description “vacation”. I tried now to use conditions and i saw that there is a calendar template variable called trigger.calendar_event.description but i’m not sure how to use a template condition to realize it. With the old possibility to search for calendar entries and create a sensor out of it, it was easy but now i’m lost. Perhaps someone has an idea how it could be realized with condition templates.

Greetings
Martin

I was trying to do this today but unfortunately wasn’t able to figure it out, either through setting a binary sensor which I wasn’t sure if you could use a template as a condition or as a condition template in the automation.

I think in this case where you want to run something unless there is a calendar event (as opposed to triggering based on a calendar event) the old yaml search was a little simpler.Sure it can be done, but haven’t had any success with this yet.
