How to add an event to Calendar tomorrow at defined hour

Configuration
1

Hello, I’m really new to HA and wondering how I can create an automation to create a Calendar event and schedule the event “tomorrow” at a certain hour (I.e. 2:00pm).
Thanks

You can use a template in the service call. What will be the source for the time input and what format will it be in?

Thanks. I just want to reschedule a calendar event to the following day at a given hour (I.e. 2:00pm) if a condition are met…,

4

Will the original calendar event be the trigger for the automation?

5

Yes, the original calendar event will be the trigger

The basic service call with templates would be something like the following,

service: calendar.create_event
data:
  summary: 'Example Event'
  start_date_time: "{{today_at('14:00') + timedelta(days= 1)}}"
  end_date_time: "{{today_at('15:00') + timedelta(days= 1)}}"
target:
  entity_id: calendar.example
7

Many thanks! It worked perfectly!

Hi,

Any suggestion how I can tweak your example so it creates an event ‘today @ 16:00’ and run until ‘tomorrow @ 08:00’

For context I plan to run a simple automation on button press run automation to add entry to calendar for when kids stay over (they have flexibility which parent they want to stay). I can then use this as an additional conditional in automations that I have setup already for the kids.

service: calendar.create_event
data:
  summary: 'Example Event'
  start_date_time: "{{ today_at('16:00') }}"
  end_date_time: "{{ today_at('08:00') + timedelta(days= 1)}}"
target:
  entity_id: calendar.example

I see it now (code structure)…

so you would always use the {{today_at… and then use the timedelata to offset it which way you want
