Remove Unwanted Words from Calendar Message

Configuration
1

I’ve set up some sensors to set up a fixtures and tickets on sale group for my favourite football/soccer team. Example of the message attribute is:
Qarabag FK v Arsenal (A)
I’m trying to get rid of the (A) or (H) that appears after the message so that I can set up an automation to read the fixture using TTS to either alexa or google home. What’s the best way of doing this please?

I can’t test at the moment so this may not be completely correct, but it will look something like:

value_template: "{{states.sensor.YOURSENSORNAME.state.replace(" (A),"").replace(" (H),"")}}"

P.S. I hope for your sake your favourite team is Qarabag :yum:

Thanks for the pointer, I ended up using the following:

  - platform: template
    sensors:
        next_fixture:
            friendly_name: "Next Fixture"
            value_template: "{{ states.calendar.arsenal_fixtures.attributes.message.replace('(A)','').replace('(H)','') }}"

Now I’ll never miss another Qarabag game again :wink:

Glad I could help :slight_smile:
