Thanks David, all done! The integration works great I have it tell me over my smart speakers to take the bin out you see and it tell me the correct colour now.

@jennoian can you share how you did the smart assistant part? Thanks

@jennoian can you share how you did that? Thanks

If you mean the correct color i just used the "residual", "Green" and "Recycling" sensors to say the color i wanted from an automation. I then placed a image of all 3 bins on the dashboard and used the "visibility" tab to create a condition to show the next bin. You would have to use the helper option to make an attribute as a sensor. I think if we had this already as a sensor it would be handy, you could use the "days_until_collection" sensors and find the lowest one, then place the answer as a sensor?
