@mikeage you can open a new issue for this. You’re correct that at the moment it doesn’t show shabatot. @arigilder is helping me improve the hdate library. His latest pull request should allow us to provide such functionality. I suppose it will be merged into home assistant somewhere in the coming weeks bli neder.
@tes5884 I haven’t found the time to replicate your installation. Could you try and map /etc/timezone as well? Google tells me this might solve the issue.
FYI the goal is to ultimately have a suite of “upcoming shabbat/yom tov” sensors for jewish_calendar. I actually have this working quite nicely with a Hebcal integration right now and have some great pre-Shabbat/Yomtov automations, but as @tsvi pointed out, local calculations are better – I actually just found that to be the case with Shabbat Chanukah, where the Hebcal API spits out an illogical response for havdalah then. So the jewish_calendar sensor will use next_day to detect if it’s erev Shabbat/Yomtov.
Beyond that, hopefully we can expose more functionality to HA.
