Waste Collection reminders

[frenck]

Problem/Motivation

In order not to forget to put the waste bins out on pickup day, I need some sensors, automations and notifications.

I'm using this with twentemileu https://github.com/heyajohnny/afvalinfo
works very good with minimum of configuration:

sensor:
  - platform: afvalinfo
    resources:
      - gft
      - pbd
      - papier
      - restafval
      - trash_type_today
      - trash_type_tomorrow
    location: hengelo
    postcode: 7550AA
    streetnumber: 100
    dateformat: '%d-%m-%Y'
    locale: 'nl'
    timespanindays: 365

big pro are the: - trash_type_today and -trash_type_tomorrow
these return type of trash as string in the state, or none

i have 2 automations based upon today or tomorrow, sending me an notification at set times as an reminder

-   alias: Alert if and which container needs to go out tomorrow
    trigger: 
      platform: time 
      at: '20:00:00'
    condition:
      condition: not
      conditions:
        - condition: state
          entity_id: sensor.afvalinfo_tomorrow
          state: None
    action: 
      - service: notify.HomeNotifier
        data_template:
          message: >
            'Morgen moet de {{ sensor.afvalinfo_tomorrow }} container aan straat, lamme!'

-   alias: Alert if and which container needs to go out today
    trigger: 
      platform: time 
      at: '07:30:00'
    condition:
      condition: not
      conditions:
        - condition: state
          entity_id: sensor.afvalinfo_today
          state: None
    action: 
      - service: notify.HomeNotifier
        data_template:
          message: >
            'NU moet de {{ sensor.afvalinfo_today }} container aan straat, wakker worden!'

simpel to use, even for me ;) but im shure it can be done more efficient

I don't need afvalinfo, as twentemilieu is available as a core integration 😉

[dtx3k]

fair point, i didnt find it as satifying as this addon

[lwestenberg]

I made a blueprint for this: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/garbage-reminder/284213
It works with TwenteMilieu but also for anything else that has 4 sensors with a state value in the format of yyyy-mm-dd

[pbulteel]

There's https://github.com/mampfes/hacs_waste_collection_schedule/ which will setup calendars and sensors for the bins.

As per above @pbulteel I don't need that.

I should really read all the comments before posting.
