A couple of months ago, Home Assistant added local calendars integration. And I thought that this great feature would replace the custom garbage collection integration I made a couple of years ago. So in my config, I stopped using my custom integration and I migrated that completely to the local calendars. Here is how it is done.

In my set-up, this was 100% feature fit, but many of you have very specific needs for dealing with exceptions. With the local calendars, you can do that manually. Or you can "influence" the core team to add the functionality to the standard calendars. About a year ago I removed all the custom logic from the integration and moved that to the automations with blueprints. So it should be as simple as adding the service calls to remove or move an event, and the blueprints can easily be modified.
