Script to count certain calendar events

Configuration
1

I’m wanting to drive some automation based on how many of a certain type of event occur in the coming (7) days. I planned to just run the script once a day to update the counter (input_number.bookings helper).

I have the following script that tries to do this, but the value seems to always be 0.0. So, I added code earlier to manually set it to 2 just to prove that part works, and it does. I can see the value go to 2, and then immediately to 0. Is there something wrong with my attempt to populate myevents or event_count variables. Any help please?

sequence:
  - data:
      entity_id: calendar.personal_events
      start_date_time: '{{ now().isoformat() }}'
      duration:
        days: 7
    response_variable: calendar_events
    action: calendar.get_events
  - variables:
      myevents: '{{ calendar_events | selectattr("summary", "search", "Meeting") | list }}'
      event_count: '{{ myevents.events | count() }}'
  - data:
      entity_id: input_number.bookings
      value: 2
    action: input_number.set_value
  - data:
      entity_id: input_number.bookings
      value: '{{ event_count }}'
    action: input_number.set_value

Thanks

Update here as I made some progress and it’s working now, by modifying the myevents line to analyse the calendar variable properly.

Full script:

sequence:
  - data:
      entity_id: calendar.personal_events
      start_date_time: '{{ now().isoformat() }}'
      duration:
        days: 7
    response_variable: calendar_events
    action: calendar.get_events
  - variables:
      myevents: '{{ calendar_events["calendar.personal_events"]["events"] | selectattr("summary", "search", "Meeting") | list }}'
      event_count: "{{ myevents | count }}"
  - data:
      entity_id: input_number.bookings
      value: '{{ event_count }}'
    action: input_number.set_value

If someone know how to explain this for others, please add.
