Exploring Calendar Automation for Daily Routines

Hey everyone, I’ve been diving into automating my daily routines using Home Assistant, and I’m excited to share my journey! :rocket:

I recently set up an automation that creates a calendar event whenever I enter a specific zone. Here’s the service I’m using:

service: calendar.create_event
target:
entity_id: calendar.myCalendar
data:
summary: Work at Nordhorn
location: Nordhorn
start_date_time: “{{ now().strftime(‘%Y-%m-%d 9:00’) }}”
end_date_time: “{{ now().strftime(‘%Y-%m-%d 14:00’) }}”

This works perfectly for scheduled events, but I’m curious about creating all-day events. I’ve tried tweaking the start_date_time and end_date_time without times, and even using start_date, but I keep running into errors. Does anyone know the correct syntax for setting up an all-day event? Any tips would be greatly appreciated! :thinking:

On another note, I’ve been exploring DIY projects to enhance my smart home setup. Spring is the perfect time for freshening things up, and I’m thinking of adding some RGB lighting with pastel colors like pink, yellow, and green. :blossom::tulip: If anyone has tips on integrating RGB bulbs with virtual dimmers or advice on color coding, I’d love to hear them!

Lastly, I recently upgraded my Home Assistant instance and encountered a segmentation fault after the first successful run. The logs showed:

Aug 23 10:03:32 hassbian systemd[1]: home-assistant@homeassistant.service: Main process exited, code=killed, status=11/SEGV

I managed to get it running again after a fresh install, but I’m still curious if others have faced similar issues or have insights on preventing this in the future. :hammer_and_wrench:

Thanks for sharing your experiences and tips! Let’s keep the creativity flowing! :bulb::sparkles:
