And I created an automation for this blueprint, which generated the following yaml code
alias: Awtrix List Calendar
description: Lists Events for Calendar
use_blueprint:
path: smarthomejunkie/awtrix_list_calendar.yaml
input:
awtrix_displays:
- 17e4ac7ef929b00f4c5aee92f1824322
toggle_helper: input_boolean.awtrix_notifiction
my_calendar: calendar.event_calender
hours_ahead: "24"
effect: TwinklingStars
today_text: "Here's What's Up Today:"
tomorrow_text: "Hey Tomorrow You Have:"
text_case: "2"
But despite having multiple entries in my calendar, it always sends the default notification Yay you have no appointments
it I check the attribute in the developer tools, the value always seems to be “null”
Can anyone spot where I am going wrong. I’m at m,y wits end
.
