Hello all,
since today I have a similar issue as @N_O; exactly the same log file.
has any one an idea how I can solve it?
Ok so bare with meā¦ but here is where i am lost. I see that City of Edmonton is supported under Canada. In fact it is supported twice, City of Edmonton and Waste wise APPS. I click it and i follow the instructions, i get the URL for the ICS and strip the client ID. Nothing worksā¦ i look at the examples and almost all of them have the client ID in the URLā¦ so why did it tell me to strip it. None of the examples are for city of Edmonton, fineā¦ but then why was it shown on the page before?
I am stuck at the first important step here, because the instructions say one thing, the examples say another and iāve tried both and they donāt seem to work for me. I need some hand holding on this one.
Update: i got it working in the local calendarā¦ proper dates show up and its split properly. Now my sensors are messed up. working on that.
I had just set up Somerset County Council through the iweb integration and it was working but now itās not pulling through any new dates anymore and getting unknown in my sensors. In the iCal there was date, but since Xmas they have updated things to move dates of collections.
I have checked my setup and nothing has changed, and I canāt work out why itās not working. Any ideas?
EDIT:
Looking at the calendar, it looks like itās not pulling through anymore data after this week.

Has anyone seen a youtube video on how to set this up? Iād like to get it running but Iām dumb
Just go through the installation steps in the documentation slowly:
The problem and danger with YouTube tutorials is that they very quickly go out of date as things move on, but itās not clear to the poor ādumbā user (your words) that it no longer applies.
Looks like Iāve got it working thanks. Now to try to get it so I can ask Alexa when and what the next collection is. If anyone has any pointers Iād be happy to hear them.
Edit:
Actually, Iāve noticed an issueā¦ food is every week but not showing on the 19th.

I think the API for Lewisham has broken?
I canāt get it to work, when I had it working previously. Additionally some of the links in the .py are leading to 404 pages.
Is there a way of testing this?
Hello, IĀ“m struggerling with the sensors. IĀ“m usiung an .ics file. For me it looks fine, but 2 of 4 are not working - status unkown.

CanĀ“t find the error. I now - it was sitting in front of the keyboard 
somebody can help?
Hi Bernd,
I had the same problem (also in Bergisch Gladbach ),
I have put all strings that contain spaces in quotation marks. For example:
waste_collection_schedule:
sources:
- name: abfallnavi_de
args:
service: aw-bgl2
ort: "Bergisch Gladbach"
strasse: "Voiswinkeler StraĆe"
You have also added an error.
Correct is āservice: aw-bgl2ā and not āservice: aw-bg12ā

Ok, got the solution. Have to use quotation marks for the trash like āPapiertonneā
Hey Guys,
Iāve got a small issue that Iām struggling to work with a bit - Iām currently using the bruxy integration, and want to move across to this integration, given itās still got support.
One thing I do with the bruxy integration is to call ābin dayā the day I have to put the bins out, rather than the day that the bins are collected, which is how this integration works.
How on earth do I get it to subtract a day from the ādaysToā value?
value_template: "{{ value.daysTo - 1 }}"
If that doesnāt answer the question adequately, show me where you are reading the daysTo value from.
perfect - I was very much too close to what I was trying to do - thanks heaps! 
If I want it to tell me āTodayā when itās ābin dayā how on earth do I do that? Thatās starting to push my limitsā¦
The FAQ has the following example, but thatās looking at the actual day, rather than the day the bins go outā¦
value_template: '{% if value.daysTo == 0 %}Today{% elif value.daysTo == 1 %}Tomorrow{% else %}in {{value.daysTo}} days{% endif %}
value_template: "{% if value.daysTo == 1 %}Today{% elif value.daysTo == 2 %}Tomorrow{% else %}in {{value.daysTo + 1}} days{% endif %}"
duh, makes perfect sense - thanks again
Hi,
i have the same problem - i live also in NĆ¼rnberg - Humboldtstrā¦ Can you please provide a valid configuration?
Michael
I checked my configuration - now it works:

ort: NĆ¼rnberg
strasse: Humboldtstrasse

Hi all!
I have set up sensors for waste and now I wanted to create automation which triggers 1 day before waste collection (letās say at 9pm day before). I have trouble extracting the value.types from sensor output since Iām quite a noob in programming.
My sensor is:
- platform: waste_collection_schedule
name: naslednji_odvoz_odpadkov
value_template: "{{value.types[0]}} Äez {{value.daysTo}} dni"
date_template: '{{value.date.strftime("%a, %d.%m.%Y")}}'
And it works and I get like following output
Preostanek komunalnih odpadkov Äez 2 dni
I understand this output is from value.types and value.daysTo
In automation I would use:
action:
- service: notify.mobile_app_pixel_6
data_template:
message: >-
Jutri odpeljejo {{ states('sensor.naslednji_odvoz_odpadkov', 'value.types' }}.
the part with {{ states('sensor.naslednji_odvoz_odpadkov', 'value.types' }} itās just a wild guess for me.
I donāt know how to āextractā the sensor state to notificationā¦Tomorrow is xxxx waste collection.
can someone help me? Or give me some pointers how to write template?
Thanks!
