Read helper config via script

[pebblebed (paul bryant)]

Hi, I want to read a config of a helper, in this case the new schedule integration. I can see the config file called schedule in ./config and I can read it in vscode . What I want to be able to do is access the contents of the file from a service / script so that I can send the schedule event collection to ESPHome via the API. Is it possible? If so does any body have an example?

Currently I use a HACS scheduler integration that exposes an attribute for the scheduled events. I want to instead use the new inbuilt scheduler. Many thanks

There are no services associated with the new weekly schedule.

The only way to use it is to monitor its state (e.g, with a state trigger).

Weekly Schedule Helper improvements

Love the new weekly schedule helper. Could we perhaps get some enhancements like: A Scheduler card for displaying and setting schedules. Finer grained control. 30 minutes is too coarse to be of any use for my irrigation control. EDIT: work-around is to trigger at the schedule on time and use a timer. Services for altering the schedules programmatically.

@tom_l Agree getting the schedule to be updated with services to get the full schedule etc would be great but its not going to happen soon. So have voted for the link feature request. Back to the question in the mean time does anybody know how to access a helper config from a script?
