WTH is there no Weekly Schedule card?

I know it is new and that the frontend bugs have not yet been ironed out but a core Schedule card with finer grained control from the frontend (10 minutes?) would be grand.

A configurable time slots would be preferable but going to every 15 minutes would help as quarter to / quarter past is a common way to define a period of time.

15 minutes is not short enough for some applications, e.g. l only run my irrigation for 10 minutes.

On the custom scheduler component, you can set the time_step: 1.

My argument is, why have the Devs started from scratch rather than absorb the current scheduler component into core?

WTH - scheduling - why start from scratch?

There are several really excellent schedulers out there - why is the core team starting from scratch? In particular a shout out to Schedy (Heaty will die, Schedy be born!) - a fantastic, hugely flexible scheduler by @roschi. This is a mature project - I’ve been using it for 2 years. Yes, it is (and probably has to be) YAML, but the flexibility it offers is top draw. Please bring these projects in, rather than start from scratch with something that is often less functional. The New BLE is a g…

I’d go as far as saying we should be able to enter values down to a single minute. It could be made such that blocks can can be selected in 5 minute increments or having a popup to enter any value down to a minute. This is how time entries work for calendar events in my Android phone.

One constant source of frustration for me is the lack of a simple scheduler display that my family members can change easily. I am using the custom scheduler component to manage the heating system, and it does everything I need in terms of functionality.
However, the interface is too confusing for non-technical people to use. I do not like being the only person in the house that controls the heating. If I am away they have to ask me to make the change remotely. The new Schedule helper is a good start, but it needs more work along with a Lovelace card.

Agreed. My solution is to have override buttons/input_booleans that reset each night which Schedy picks up and acts accordingly.

The climate control really needs some serious effort as well.

There is GitHub - nielsfaber/scheduler-card: HA Lovelace card for control of scheduler entities a fabulous card and integration that works perfectly.
Sadly the devs don’t want to implement it (they have their reasons) and are doing everything from scratch.

More info about the card and integration is here: Scheduler card/custom component

This should be part of the core. I removed more than half of my automation with this integration!

I’m talking about the core weekly schedule helper, not third party options.

would like to see this implemented too
