Hi.
I decided to go with the YouTube instructions. They are using Node-Red for the automation.
Another really powerful tool I am not familiar with until now. For starters everything is set up correctly and I started to test it out a little.
I just started yesterday with some Nodes. It does help me quite bit. As a guide I used this as a video: Automation in Node Red.
Which sensor would I use?
sensor.papierabfall_collection
or
sensor.papierabfall_date
My “current State Node " seems lo look different. The guy in the video has an If state in the string of his sensor where for me it is justt any text
string I could type in (left empty) What should I put there, where is that derived from? (minute 16:07)
How do I correctly type the color in data of the Hue lights. (I would like ta have it in color_name"Blue”. How do I put that in correct json format.
I put: {"rgbw_color":[0,0,255,20]}
it is not as fancy but it is at least the color I am looking for - a bright blue. No I need the string for the state sensor of Altpapier sensor.papierabfall_date when it is due tomorrow.
I tried with Developer States where I set the state of sensor.papierabfall_collection, it states 2 as the state. However I cannot derive what to put in the Node for the current state. Is it a string a number or something completely different.
Hello,
I am currently trying to integrate the waste calendar into Home Assistant via “Waste Collection Schedule”. I now get entries displayed, but unfortunately they are the wrong values. I find the entry on the page: AWIDO Widget
Config:
waste_collection_schedule:
sources:
- name: awido_de
args:
customer: awb-ak
city: "VG Daaden-Herdorf - Kernstadt Herdorf"
Thanks for help.
Hi,
currenlty I’m using the custom card to show this:
I was wondering if there is a way to use the new tile cards from home assistant.
Thanks.
I am definitely missing a trick with the setup for this.
I am running HA Container on a raspberry pi. I can edit the configuration.yaml and can restart HA no problem. In the Log I can see that the waste_collection_schedule integration is picked up by HA as it warns me that it is untested, so I know that the configuration.yaml is being read.
In my configuration.yaml file I have:
# Waste collection
waste_collection_schedule:
sources:
- name: static
args:
type: General
frequency: WEEKLY
interval: 1
start: '2023-01-03'
until: '2023-12-26'
- name: static
args:
type: Reycling
frequency: WEEKLY
interval: 1
start: '2023-01-04'
until: '2023-12-27'
sensor:
- platform: waste_collection_schedule
source_index: 0
name: waste_collection_general
details_format: upcoming

types:
- General
- platform: waste_collection_schedule
source_index: 1
name: waste_collection_recycling
details_format: upcoming
count: 2
leadtime: 2
types:
- Recycling
I can’t see any sensor entities being created after a restart. Is there an error in my config somewhere?
Don’t you need a city_id and area_id ? Did you take the exact name from the garbage file?
That’s what it looks like in Germany. Had to download the ICS file and extract and paste the data there.

There is no published schedule for my city, so I used the “static” as specified here: hacs_waste_collection_schedule/static.md at 4a60fc5cfa868c4efa3270c0ae68691816192f20 · mampfes/hacs_waste_collection_schedule · GitHub
I just don’t see any sensors showing up in the list of entities, or anywhere else for that matter 
I’m struggling with static sources too. In my case it looks like it does not work with two static sources. With my current config (below) only all_waste and rubbish have working sensors but recycling does not.
Anyone able to help explain what I may have done wrong?
My current code is like this;
waste_collection_schedule:
sources:
- name: static
args:
type: rubbish
frequency: WEEKLY
interval: 2
start: '2023-03-20'
until: '2024-01-01'
customize:
- type: rubbish
icon: mdi:bin
- name: static
args:
type: recycling
frequency: WEEKLY
interval: 2
start: '2023-03-27'
until: '2024-01-01'
customize:
- type: recycle
icon: mdi:recycle
sensor:
- platform: waste_collection_schedule
name: all_waste_types
source_index: [0, 1]
- platform: waste_collection_schedule
name: rubbish
source_index: 0
types:
- rubbish
- platform: waste_collection_schedule
name: recycle
source_index: 1
types:
- recycle
Ugh, apologies. I went round and round in circles over thinking the checking and still missed that. Should’ve stepped back for half hour.
Thanks!
really confused with this
I have in my configuration.yaml the below
waste_collection_schedule:
sources:
- name: bromley_gov_uk
args:
property: 123456
and also
sensor:
- platform: waste_collection_schedule
source_index: SOURCE_INDEX
name: Bromley_waste
details_format: DETAILS_FORMAT
count: COUNT
leadtime: LEADTIME
value_template: VALUE_TEMPLATE
date_template: DATE_TEMPLATE
add_days_to: ADD_DAYS_TO
types:
- Waste Type 1
- Waste Type 2
But cant seem to see any data and errors when loading YAML
small update i can now see data only for rubbish not the others?
sensor being used is
waste_collection_schedule:
sources:
- name: bromley_gov_uk
args:
property: 123456
sensor:
- platform: waste_collection_schedule
source_index: 0
name: Rubbish # Change this to whatever you want the UI to display
details_format: generic
date_template: '{{value.date.strftime("%A %d %B %Y")}}' # date format becomes 'Tuesday 1 April 2022'
value_template: 'in {{value.daysTo}} days'
- platform: waste_collection_schedule
source_index: 1
name: Recycling # Change this to whatever you want the UI to display
details_format: generic
date_template: '{{value.date.strftime("%A %d %B %Y")}}' # date format becomes 'Tuesday 1 April 2022'
value_template: 'in {{value.daysTo}} days'
- platform: waste_collection_schedule
source_index: 2
name: Garden # Change this to whatever you want the UI to display
details_format: generic
date_template: '{{value.date.strftime("%A %d %B %Y")}}' # date format becomes 'Tuesday 1 April 2022'
value_template: 'in {{value.daysTo}} days'
You probably need to add the type of waste, like this:
- platform: waste_collection_schedule
source_index: 1
name: Recycling # Change this to whatever you want the UI to display
details_format: generic
date_template: '{{value.date.strftime("%A %d %B %Y")}}' # date format becomes 'Tuesday 1 April 2022'
value_template: 'in {{value.daysTo}} days'
type: "Mixed Recycling (Cans, Plastics & Glass)"
so using that code i get
waste_collection_schedule:
sources:
- name: bromley_gov_uk
args:
property: 1111
types:
- Food Waste
- Garden Waste
- Mixed Recycling (Cans, Plastics & Glass)
- Non-Recyclable Refuse
- Paper & Cardboard
sensor:
- platform: waste_collection_schedule
source_index: 1
name: Recycling # Change this to whatever you want the UI to display
details_format: generic
date_template: '{{value.date.strftime("%A %d %B %Y")}}' # date format becomes 'Tuesday 1 April 2022'
value_template: 'in {{value.daysTo}} days'
type: "Mixed Recycling (Cans, Plastics & Glass)"
so i fixed the code error with
waste_collection_schedule:
sources:
- name: bromley_gov_uk
args:
property: 123456
types:
- Food Waste
- Garden Waste
- Mixed Recycling (Cans, Plastics & Glass)
- Non-Recyclable Refuse
- Paper & Cardboard
sensor:
- platform: waste_collection_schedule
source_index: 1
name: Recycling # Change this to whatever you want the UI to display
details_format: generic
date_template: '{{value.date.strftime("%A %d %B %Y")}}' # date format becomes 'Tuesday 1 April 2022'
value_template: 'in {{value.daysTo}} days'
types: "Mixed Recycling (Cans, Plastics & Glass)"
- platform: waste_collection_schedule
source_index: 2
name: Garden Waste # Change this to whatever you want the UI to display
details_format: generic
date_template: '{{value.date.strftime("%A %d %B %Y")}}' # date format becomes 'Tuesday 1 April 2022'
value_template: 'in {{value.daysTo}} days'
types: "Garden Waste"
- platform: waste_collection_schedule
source_index: 3
name: Paper & Cardboard # Change this to whatever you want the UI to display
details_format: generic
date_template: '{{value.date.strftime("%A %d %B %Y")}}' # date format becomes 'Tuesday 1 April 2022'
value_template: 'in {{value.daysTo}} days'
types: "Paper & Cardboard"
but in the entities it doesnt connect to the calendar to show when next schedule is…?
This is how my config looks like:
configutation:
waste_collection_schedule:
sources:
- name: ics
args:
file: "www/calendar-Abfall.ics"
customize:
- type: Abfuhr Papier
alias: Papiermüll
icon: mdi:paperclip
picture: '/local/icons/papier.png'
- type: Abfuhr Leichtverpackungen

- type: Abfuhr Restabfall
alias: Restmüll
icon: mdi:trash-can
picture: '/local/icons/rest.png'
calendar_title: Abfall
fetch_time: "04:00"
day_switch_time: "18:00"
sensor:

details_format: "upcoming"
value_template: '{{value.date.strftime("%A, %d.%B")}}|{{value.date.strftime("%d.%m.%Y")}}|{{value.date.strftime("%u")}}'
date_template: '{{value.date.strftime("%d.%m.%Y")}}'
add_days_to: True
count: 2
types:
- "Restmüll"
I got all my different types in one *.ics file, if that matters.
ok modified your code to
waste_collection_schedule:
sources:
- name: bromley_gov_uk
args:
uprn: 123456
property: 123456
customize:
- type: Abfuhr Papier
alias: Papiermüll
icon: mdi:paperclip
- type: Abfuhr Leichtverpackungen
alias: Gelber Sack
icon: mdi:recycle
- type: Abfuhr Restabfall
alias: Restmüll
icon: mdi:trash-can
sensor:
- platform: waste_collection_schedule
name: waste-test
details_format: "upcoming"
value_template: '{{value.date.strftime("%A, %d.%B")}}|{{value.date.strftime("%d.%m.%Y")}}|{{value.date.strftime("%u")}}'
date_template: '{{value.date.strftime("%d.%m.%Y")}}'
add_days_to: True
count: 2
types:
- "Restmüll"
sensor doesnt even show up now.
Also in the dev notes it says
property: PROPERTY_ID
but in the example it says
uprn: 6296702
so which one is it?!?!?
with your original code you had at least those entries. My guess is you only need to adjust the sensors. Revert back to your original configuration with property: 123456 and check again.
Your configuration collected all entries, only the splitting in different sensors was missing. That should be accomplished by using type: “entry name” in your sensor.
ok i have it working again so far im here with this code
waste_collection_schedule:
sources:
- name: bromley_gov_uk
args:
property: 123456
#Garden Waste Sensors
- platform: waste_collection_schedule
source_index: 0
name: Rubbish # Change this to whatever you want the UI to display
details_format: generic
date_template: '{{value.date.strftime("%A %d %B %Y")}}' # date format becomes 'Tuesday 1 April 2022'
value_template: 'in {{value.daysTo}} days'
types:
- Food Waste
- Garden Waste
it can see the council calendar and is pulling data…
i just cant work out how to split that data up into “rubbish, carboard etc” as per the council site.
which gives me these entities
Preume i should have a sensor for each item 1 for carboard, 1 for rubbish and 1 for garden?
