Local calendar feature request 4 – Add custom event fields

Home Assistant’s Local Calendar complies with the iCalendar standard. It’s unclear to me if it supports custom fields.

Currently, you can use Summary to pass a JSON payload like:

{ "temperature": 20.5, "humidity": 42 }

Given an automation with a Calendar Trigger, you can reference the contents of Summary like this:

{% set x = trigger.calendar_event.summary | from_json %}
{{ x.temperature }}, {{ x.humidity }}
