Help needed; Automating the creation of calendar events based on garbage collection

Configuration
1

Hello all,

Can anyone help me with an automation that will create a calendar item when the sensor for garbage collection changes (so I get the new date for (for example) PMD in my local Home Assistant calendar?
I am currently using 2 hacs integrations to retrieve the upcoming dates for the garbage collection cause I haven’t decided yet what intergration has my preference. I’m using: Afvalwijzer and Mijnafvalwijzer.
Both give me about the same kind of sensors altough Mijnafvalwijzer has embedded icons to use if I want to.
The sensor data looks like this:

sensor.mijnafvalwijzer_gft
Mijnafvalwijzer gft

The date shown (26-05-2023) is the sensor status.

If anyone can help me out, I would really appreciate it.

Hi,

I don’t understand what you mean with calendar item?
Are you looking for something like this?

Hi Woempiej,

Thank you for your reply.
I can already get the items to show up in the dashboard.
What I would like is to have them show up in the home assistant calendar as well ( Calendar - Home Assistant (home-assistant.io) )
That way I have some more flexibility on my dashboard (I can just show a calendar card in stead of a dedicated card for garbage collection).

I hope it makes more sense now.
