Grocy Meal Plan to Calendar Sync (with Duplicate Check)

Open your Home Assistant instance and show the blueprint import dialog with a specific blueprint pre-filled.

About this Blueprint

This blueprint automatically synchronizes your Grocy meal plan to a Home Assistant calendar. It runs daily and ensures your dining schedule is always visible in your dashboard or calendar app.

Features

  • :shield: Smart Sync (Duplicate Check): It checks if a meal with the same name already exists on the specific day before adding it. This prevents cluttered calendars if the automation runs multiple times.
  • :earth_africa: Multi-language Support: Labels and descriptions are available in English and German.
  • :label: Customizable Prefix: You can define a prefix for your events (e.g., "Meal: " or "Dinner: ").
  • :alarm_clock: Flexible Schedule: Choose exactly when the sync should trigger every night.

Requirements

  1. Grocy Integration: A working Grocy setup and the sensor.grocy_meal_plan entity.
  2. Writable Calendar: You must use a calendar that supports creating events.
    • Supported: Google Calendar, CalDAV, or the Local Calendar integration (created via Settings → Devices & Services → Add Integration → Local Calendar).
    • Not Supported: Read-only calendars (like ICS-file imports or automatic holiday calendars).

Known Limitations

As Home Assistant currently does not provide a calendar.remove_event or calendar.update_event service via automations, this blueprint can only add entries.

  • If you reschedule or delete a meal in Grocy, the old entry will remain in your calendar and must be removed manually in the UI.

Configuration

  1. Import the blueprint using the button above.
  2. Select your Grocy meal plan sensor (usually sensor.grocy_meal_plan).
  3. Select your target calendar.
  4. Set your preferred sync time and event prefix.
