Issue Information

Hey,

Looking to see if it's possible to make the hass component export the json file to /config/www so that it can be picked up by hacs_waste_collection?

Have looked through issues and documentation but couldn't see anything about this. (Apologies if I missed it)

Thanks

Hey, Is this something that would be possible to add to the hass integration?

Thanks

Can you raise this as an issue and add the tag idea please?

@j0nnymoe : out of interest why would you not just use the hacs custom_component from this repo ?

Is there different functionality in hacs_waste_collection

[j0nnymoe]

Hey @robbrad,

Sorry for the late reply. I'm already using the hacs custom_component for this but was hoping to use the hacs_waste_collection to show the data within the calendar.

Cheers

I was just reading https://github.com/mampfes/hacs_waste_collection_schedule/blob/master/doc/source/ukbcd.md and had been on the search for the .json file mentioned. My hope is to feed the data from this custom_component as the source in to hacs_waste_collection_schedule, so that the HA calendar is populated with bin collection dates, for a at a glance forward look and possibly push notifications (the latter I've just thought of as I type this).

Apologies if I can already achieve that from this component alone, my much preferred option, I've been back and forth through the docs.

I tried this using the selenium and api docker but unfortunately the output appears to be escaped JSON so we cant use that either, I was hoping that it'll work with the built in downloader of HA but no joy. @sym0nd0 did you find a work around?

Thanks to @jamesmacwhite, I've been using this to feed everything and it's been flawless. https://www.gbcbincalendars.co.uk/

Edit, although I realise now that this isn't the thread I thought it was and the link above might not be relevant to you. Sorry.
