Set due date/time to todo list items via Assist

Hello everyone.

I initialy proposed this in the core but unfortunately my PR was closed due to potential future conflicts. In the meantime I released it as a custom component.

This custom component adds support for the due_date and due_datetime parameters when adding items to a todo-list with Assist (text or voice).

It adds a new TodoDueAddItem intent that can be called with the same name and item inputs as the core HassListAddItem but with additional inputs.

In “absolute” mode:

  • due_day : one of today, tomorrow, mon, tue, wed, thu, fri, sat, sun
  • due_hour : between 0 and 23
  • due_minute : between 0 and 59
  • mode : one of h24 (default), am, pm

In “relative” mode:

  • due_day_offset
  • due_hour_offset
  • due_minute_offset

This allows sentences like:

  • “Remind me to buy bread for tomorrow”
  • “Remind hairdresser next tuesday at 9 AM”
  • “Remind me to clean the bathroom in 2 hours”

Not all inputs are required, the intent will try to naturally set the best due date depending on what is provided and the current time.
For example “Add xxx at 6 PM” when the current time is 8 PM, will automatically set the item for the next day.

The repository includes sentences examples in English and French. In these examples the name of the todo-list is hardcoded in slots.name in order to have a simpler syntax.

You will probably need to adapt this, so don’t hesite to read the guide to Setting up custom sentences in configuration.yaml - Home Assistant

I hope you find this useful :slight_smile:
