ICS / iCal

Add support for schedules from ICS / iCal files. Files can be either stored in a local folder or fetched from a static URL. The waste type will be taken from the summary attribute.

This source has been successfully tested with the following service providers:

Australia

Austria

Belgium

Canada

Germany

Italy

Norway

Switzerland

United Kingdom

United States of America

In addition, users reported that the following service providers are working:

Sweden

Switzerland

United States of America


Configuration via configuration.yaml

waste_collection_schedule:
  sources:
    - name: ics
      args:
        url: URL
        file: FILE
        offset: OFFSET
        method: METHOD
        params: PARAMS
        year_field: YEAR_FIELD
        regex: REGEX
        split_at: SPLIT_AT
        version: 2
        verify_ssl: VERIFY_SSL
        headers: HEADERS
        title_template: "{{date.summary}}"

Configuration Variables

url
(string) (optional)

URL to ICS / iCal file. File will be downloaded using a HTTP GET request.

If the original url contains the current year (4 digits including century), this can be replaced by the wildcard {%Y} (see example below).

You have to specify either url or file!

file
(string) (optional)

Local ICS / iCal file name. Can be used instead of url for local files.

You have to specify either url or file!

Notes:

  • Some users have reported that on their installation, only local files below the folder config/www are accessible by the system. Therefore place the ics file there.

  • If you are using relative paths (like in the example below), the path depends on which working directory your Home Assistant instance is running on. And this might depend on the installation method (core vs supervisor vs OS vs ...). Therefore check the log output, it tells you the current working directory.

    This example should work for HAOS based installations:

    # file location: config/www/calendar.ics
    waste_collection_schedule:
      sources:
        - name: ics
          args:
            file: "www/calendar.ics"

offset
(int) (optional, default: 0)

Offset in days which will be added to every start time. Can be used if the start time of the events in the ICS file are ahead of the actual date.

method
(string) (optional, default: GET)

Method to send the URL params.

Need to be GET or POST.

params
(dict) (optional, default: None)

Dictionary, list of tuples or bytes to send in the query string for the HTTP request.

This gets

  • urlencoded and either attached to the raw URL when GET method is used.
  • send with Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded and an automatically generated Content-Length header as POST method HTTP body.

Only used if url is specified, not used for file.

year_field
(string) (optional, default: None)

Field in params dictionary to be replaced with current year (4 digits including century).

regex
(string) (optional, default: None)

Regular expression used to remove needless text from collection types.

See also example below.

split_at
(string) (optional, default: None)

Delimiter to split event summary into individual collection types. If your service puts multiple collections types which occur at the same day into a single event, this option can be used to separate the collection types again.

version
(integer) (optional, default: 2)

Selects the underlying ICS file parser:

  • version: 1 uses recurring_ical_events
  • version: 2 uses icalevents

verify_ssl
(boolean) (optional, default: True)

Allows do disable SSL certificate checks in case the HTTPS server of your service provider is misconfigured and therefore doesn't send intermediate certificates. Unlike browsers, python doesn't support automatic fetching of missing intermediates.

Set this option to False if you see the following warning in the logs:

[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: unable to get local issuer certificate.

headers
(dict) (optional, default: empty dict)

Add custom headers to HTTP request, e.g. referer. By default, the user-agent is already set to Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64).

See also example below.

title_template
(str) (optional, default: {{date.summary}})

template for the event title. date is the event object depending on the selected ICS file parser version.

Go to the service provider website and select location and street. Selection of desired waste types is optional. Afterwards an iCal calendar export is provided. Download it and find the download URL. Some parameters of the URL can be omitted. (e.g. kat, ArtID, alarm)

Important: The base url of the provider's website https://aik.ilm-kreis.de needs to be set as a custom header referer. Otherwise you'll get an HTTP 403 error.

    - name: ics
      args:
        url: "https://aik.ilm-kreis.de/output/options.php?ModID=48&call=ical&=&ArtID[0]=1.1&ArtID[1]=1.4&ArtID[2]=1.2&pois=3053.562&kat=1,&alarm=0"
