I’d like to create a daily automation which triggers at a certain time an Android TTS notification which lists all upcoming events for the day. Right now I can only retrieve one, and I would like to get a list. To explain I’ll share more details: Currently I have this:
service: notify.mobile_app
data:
message: TTS
data:
tts_text: >-
Hi! Remember today: {{ states.calendar.default.attributes.message }} at
{{ (as_timestamp(states.calendar.default.attributes.start_time) | timestamp_custom(' %H:%M ') }}
enabled: true
The problem
Whilst this announces the next event, I’d like it to list all events for the day.
I tried looping trough the calendar, but there are only one event to list:
{% for cal_events in expand(states.calendar.default) %}
{{ as_timestamp(cal_events.attributes.start_time) | timestamp_custom('%H:%M') }},
{{ cal_events.attributes.message }}
{%- endfor -%}
Searching the forum, it seems that it Google Calendar integration can loop all events. (src)
I also see discussion about listing ‘all day’ events, but my first goal is to have multiple events in the first place.
Thank you for reading this far and your support. The reason why I post it here as a feature request is because the calendar state lists exactly one event and I believe the issue is with CalDav implementation. Please understand and point me in the right direction if I’m misunderstanding.
