For years, I have been using the Homey iCal integration to receive notifications for new and modified events from my iCal calendar via the Homey platform (IcalCalendar App for Homey | Homey). However, Home Assistant does not currently support a similar integration, which would greatly benefit users who rely on iCal for managing their schedules and want to be notified about changes made in their calendars.
Key Features:
- New Event Notifications: Send notifications to Home Assistant whenever a new event is added to the iCal calendar.
- Modified Event Notifications: Notify users when an existing event has been updated, allowing for real-time changes in automations.
The source code for the existing Homey iCal integration is publicly available on GitHub (GitHub - runely/calendar-homey: Gives Homey flow cards to trigger on your calendar events), which could serve as a starting point for development within Home Assistant.
Adding this functionality to Home Assistant would bring it closer in line with the features available on other platforms and enhance its calendar automation capabilities.
Thank you for considering this request!
