[SOLVED] Google Calendar and Holiday lighting

[ih8gates (Scott Reston)]

I use a motion sensor on my security system to trigger so that I know someone’s there to hear it. I set a boolean at times throughout the day to say “hey - there’s a message waiting”.

My code for valuing the “trash today/trash tomorrow” type bools is above.

I have the “message waiting” automation fire off several scripts. Each of the scripts has a condition to exit if it doesn’t apply. Then it turns off the “message waiting” bool.

I use a script to handle speech so that I can easily change TTS. I also include some booleans to make sure my wife and I are awake before speaking. I describe that in this thread:

Centralized handling for text to speech (TTS)

I recently decided to experiment with alternate TTS components. This turned out to be a chore because I had service calls all over the place that needed to be updated. So I created a script that I now run all TTS calls through. This allows me to easily make global changes in how TTS is processed. Want to change the TTS engine? Want to choose a different target for TTS playback? This’ll make it easy to make changes. In my case, this also simplified my HA code. I use input_booleans to keep track…
