HACS Garbage Collection Card

Third party integrations
1

I was wondering if someone could help me out. I setup the garbage-collector card through HACS and I am trying to setup multiple garbage pick-ups. Example: )All every week) Garbage = Sunday, Recycling = Tuesday & Bulk = Thursday. When I try to go to integrations I only seem to be able to add one sensor with all 3 days or one sensor with the correct type and day.

Can someone guide me on how I can add all three sensors. FYI I am a noobs.

I don’t use the integration as it just shows blank entities for me so can’t be configured.
I add the code to configuration.yaml.
Something like this should help you.

garbage_collection:
  sensors:
  - name: "Garbage"
    frequency: "every-n-days"
    period: 7
    collection_days:
    - sun
    first_date: '2020-01-01'
    verbose_state: True
    verbose_format: "{date}\n({days} days)"
  - name: "Recycling"
    frequency: "every-n-days"
    period: 7
    collection_days:
    - tue
    first_date: '2020-01-01'
    verbose_state: True
    verbose_format: "{date}\n({days} days)"
  - name: "Bulk"
    frequency: "every-n-days"
    period: 7
    collection_days:
    - thu
    first_date: '2020-01-08'
    verbose_state: True
    verbose_format: "{date}\n({days} days)"

I actually got it working through HACS. Had to uninstall and reinstall and it started working.

How did you get this to work in the end? I’ve tried reinstalling through HACS but I’m still only able to set up one entity. How can you set up multiple entities via the flow?

I know this post is old - but if anyone comes looking for the answer to the last question, you simply click add integration again in Configuration → Integrations and configure again for each type of pickup. For example, in my area they pickup regular garbage on odd days, so I hit configure once for that in the Integration. Then I add the integration a second time and add even weeks for recyclables and configure it. If once a month they had a large item haul, or household hazardous waste I’d hit add integration again in HACS and configure that.
