Today I will share my new garbage collection assistant (thanks to @ferrimiche suggestion!)

Prerequisites

First thing first, you must have this installed:

Install Garbage Collection integration

Thanks to @bruxy70 we have an integration ready to use!

Go to HACS -> integrations -> explore & download repositories

Search for Garbage collection and install the integration

Then configure it following the creator instructions. Those are perfectly clear!

Automation for notification

This is the automation that sends me and my wife the garbage collection reminder:

alias: Garbage collection
description: "notify garbage collection"
trigger:
  - platform: time
    at: "19:00:00"
condition:
  - condition: or
    conditions:
      - condition: state
        entity_id: sensor.raccolta_carta
        attribute: days
        state: 0
      - condition: state
        entity_id: sensor.raccolta_organico
        attribute: days
        state: 0
      - condition: state
        entity_id: sensor.raccolta_multimateriale
        attribute: days
        state: 0
      - condition: state
        entity_id: sensor.raccolta_indifferenziato
        attribute: days
        state: 0
action:
  - service: script.notify_garbage_collection
    data: {}
mode: single

and this is the script:

alias: Notify garbage collection
sequence:
  - service: notify.baldarn
    data:
      message: >-
        Remember 
        {{ "organico" if is_state('sensor.raccolta_organico', "today" else "" }}
        {{ "multimateriale" if is_state('sensor.raccolta_multimateriale', "today") else "" }}
        {{ "carta" if is_state('sensor.raccolta_carta', "today") else "" }}
        {{"indifferenziato" if is_state('sensor.raccolta_indifferenziato',"today") else "" }}        
  - service: notify.wife
    data:
      message: >-
        Remember 
        {{ "organico" if is_state('sensor.raccolta_organico', "today" else "" }}
        {{ "multimateriale" if is_state('sensor.raccolta_multimateriale', "today") else "" }}
        {{ "carta" if is_state('sensor.raccolta_carta', "today") else "" }}
        {{"indifferenziato" if is_state('sensor.raccolta_indifferenziato',"today") else "" }}        
mode: single
icon: mdi:delete

I’m not a python expert, if you have any suggestion for more elegant scripts, please let me know!
