RESOLVED - Google Calendar based lights

Configuration
4

I have worked on this some more to clean it up and improve the functionality, I no longer need separate calendars. I can search within one calendar now. I still can’t get the offset to work though, so I have moved my timers in the calendar to 8:30PM.

configuration.yaml

# Track calendar false is needed to prevent Hass from overwriting the google_calendar.yaml file.

Hopefully this will help someone out who is trying to get lights etc working from a calendar. I needed my lights to be different each week as I work shifts. My calendar triggers at 8:30PM the day before. So when I work Mon - Fri my calendar is Sun - Thurs, unless I work overtime on Sat, then I put an overtime trigger into the calendar on Fri. I did it this was so I could trigger lights before going bed and when I get up.
