This repo is intended to provide some additional help when setting up a digital calendar view for an alternative to a popular digital calendar. The original thread can be found here

Calendar Connection

It's important to choose a calendar that supports CalDAV. For the sake of this repo I'll be using NextCloud's calendar option as I already have NextCloud running and want to stay away from Google services.

To connect you calendar you'll need to add the CalDAV integration to your Home Assistant

Navigate to Settings > Devices & services
Click add integration
Search for CalDAV
Enter your information
- For nextcloud users it's something like: https://[YOUR_NEXTCLOUD_URL].com/remote.php/dav (you can also find it in the nextcloud calendar settings > Copy pirmary CalDAV address)
- The username and password of the user you want to add the calendar for

Scripts and Helpers

These are probably the most important part of the whole set up as if you don't have them set, you can't do any of the filtering

For each calendar or person you need to have this script located in Settings > Automations & scenes > scripts

alias: [CALENDAR_OR_PERSON_NAME] Calendar Visible Filter
description: "Shows or hides events for [CALENDAR_OR_PERSON_NAME] Calendar"
sequence:
  - data:
      entity_id: input_text.[CALENDAR_OR_PERSON_NAME]_calendar_filter
      value: |
        {% if is_state('input_text.[CALENDAR_OR_PERSON_NAME]_calendar_filter', '.*') %}
          ^$
        {% else %}
          .*
        {% endif %}
    action: input_text.set_value

The Helpers you need to add are as follows:

Text:

“calendar_event_title”
“calendar_event_description”
“birthdays_calendar_filter”
“[CALENDAR_OR_PERSON_NAME]_calendar_filter”

Dropdown:

“calendar_select” (add your calendar options)
“calendar_view” (options: Today, Tomorrow, Week, Biweek, Month, Bimonth)

Datetime (Date):

“calendar_day_event_start”
“calendar_day_event_end”

Datetime (Time)

“calendar_event_start”
“calendar_event_end”

Toggle:

“calendar_all_day_event”

HACS

Browser Mod

Important

It's important to add the browser mod integration to your HA after you add it to HACS. Then restart your HA
