Brisbane City Council source with unknown sensors

[CodeFatherG]

Hi!

I have followed the installation and configuration instructions, and also used #1258 as a guide. All of my sensors show as unknown

waste_collection_schedule:
  sources:
    - name: brisbane_qld_gov_au
      args:
        suburb: SUBURB
        street_name: STREET
        street_number: NUMBER
      customize:
        - type: rubbish
          alias: Rubbish
          icon: mdi:trash-can
        - type: recycle
          alias: Recycle
          icon: mdi:recycle

sensor:
  - platform: waste_collection_schedule
    name: Next Rubbish Collection Date
    types:
      - rubbish
    value_template: '{{value.date.strftime("%d %b")}}'

  - platform: waste_collection_schedule
    name: Next Recycling Collection Date
    types:
      - recycle
    value_template: '{{value.date.strftime("%d %b")}}'

  - platform: waste_collection_schedule
    name: Next Rubbish Collection Days
    types:
      - rubbish
    value_template: '{% if value.daysTo == 0 %}Today{% elif value.daysTo == 1 %}Tomorrow{% else %}in {{value.daysTo}} days{% endif %}'

  - platform: waste_collection_schedule
    name: Next Recycling Collection Days
    types:
      - recycle
    value_template: '{% if value.daysTo == 0 %}Today{% elif value.daysTo == 1 %}Tomorrow{% else %}in {{value.daysTo}} days{% endif %}'

  - platform: waste_collection_schedule
    name: Next Rubbish Collection This Week
    types:
      - rubbish
    value_template: '{% if value.daysTo == 0 %}Today{% elif value.daysTo == 1 %}Tomorrow{% elif value.daysTo <= 6 %}This {{value.date.strftime("%A")}}{% else %}in {{value.daysTo}} days{% endif %}'

  - platform: waste_collection_schedule
    name: Next Recycling Collection This Week
    types:
      - recycle
    value_template: '{% if value.daysTo == 0 %}Today{% elif value.daysTo == 1 %}Tomorrow{% elif value.daysTo <= 6 %}This {{value.date.strftime("%A")}}{% elif value.daysTo < 13 %}Next {{value.date.strftime("%A")}}{% else %}in {{value.daysTo}} days{% endif %}'

you need to capitalize your types in the sensors as you are renaming the types using the alias argument in the source

I din't notice as I just used a reference that did this and said it worked.

However now I am seeing that the rubbish works, not recycling. The Brisbane City Council Entity doesn't show recycling. Is something additional required for recycling?

The council website shows recycle

Should this be a new thread/issue or can I lump it in here

When testing the source I get the following events (you should see similar ones in your calendar tab):

    2024-01-01 : Rubbish
    2024-01-01 : Recycling
    2024-01-08 : Rubbish
    2024-01-08 : Garden
    2024-01-15 : Rubbish
    2024-01-15 : Recycling
    2024-01-22 : Rubbish
    2024-01-22 : Garden
    2024-01-29 : Rubbish
    2024-01-29 : Recycling

so the source does return recycling events. But your customize arguments do not have any effect as they are searching for rubbish and recycle instead of Rubbish and Recycling but you do not need them if you're happy with their name and default icon (specified by source in this case Rubbish [mdi:trash-can], Recycling [mdi:recycle], Garden [mdi:leaf])

Your sensors are looking for Recycle instead of Recycling

I didn't even notice that fact. I do see in the calender it is called Recycling. I'll take a look at fixing it up.
