This is a custom component for Home Assistant to integrate Aula.

Available entities:

• Calendars:
  • Events (Containing calendar events from aula, such as class rooms etc.)
  • Weekly Plan (Meebook weekly plan)
  • EasyIQ Weekly Plan (untested - EasyIQ time-based weekly events)
  • Newsletter (untested - MinUddannelse weekly newsletters with HTML content)
  • Birthdays
• Sensors:
  • Presence (Present/Not Present)
  • Status (Detailed Presence, with state attribute on where the kid are on the school)
  • Present Duration (Time between check-in and check-out)
• Binary Sensors:
  • Unread Calendar Event
  • Unread Message (state attibutes with preview of the content and sender)
  • Unread Gallery (photos/videos)
  • Unread Post

Not yet implemented:

As i have no json from the requests for these, i cannot develop and test the functionality to a point where i can verify their functionality.

• "Opgaver" from "Min Uddannelse"
• "Huskelisten" from "Systematic"

• Ensure that HACS is installed.
• Add the Custom Repository: https://github.com/HairingX/aula.git
• Search for and install the "Aula" integration. (there might be 2 instances, pick the one with author: hairingx)
• Restart Home Assistant.

The original repository was great to get Aula into HomeAssistant.

As i started integrating it into my dashboards, I quickly learned that in order to get the setup i wanted, I would have to rewrite the solution.

Therefore I rewrote the integration to get the dashboard options i needed to create my dashboards

As my dashboard is not yet completed, this is just a dashboard from my test setup to test the different features.

In the top badge-bar i have (from left)

• Binary sensor Unread Post
• Binary sensor Unread Calendar Event
• Binary sensor Unread Gallery
• Binary sensor Unread Message (displaying the subject when active)
• Sensor Status (displaying the location if aula specifiec the location)
• Sensor Present Duration (displaying the time the kid has been present for the day)

Below the badge-bar i have a Calendar card, displaying events from Aula Calendar, Weekplan, birthdays and my local school calendar for custom items such as playdates etc.

Below that I have the weekplan. On the left side is the current days plan and on the right the current and next week can be accessed

Below the weekplan I have a graph for the Sensor Present Duration, and below that a section displaying details on the unread binary sensors.

As the integration does not limit the interval for calendar data, the calenar dashboard can display data as far in the past/future as Aula supports, making it easy to get a larger overview

To display events for a specific day of the week, use HA's calendar.get_events service with a trigger-based template sensor. This example creates a sensor for Monday's weekly plan events:

template:
  - trigger:
      - platform: time_pattern
        hours: /1
    action:
      - action: calendar.get_events
        target:
          entity_id: calendar.aula_weekly_plan_CHILDNAME_SCHOOL
        data:
          start_date_time: >
            {{ (now() - timedelta(days=now().weekday())).strftime('%Y-%m-%d 00:00:00') }}
          end_date_time: >
            {{ (now() - timedelta(days=now().weekday()) + timedelta(days=1)).strftime('%Y-%m-%d 00:00:00') }}
        response_variable: monday_events
    sensor:
      - name: "Monday Weekly Plan"
        unique_id: aula_monday_weekly_plan
        state: "{{ monday_events['calendar.aula_weekly_plan_CHILDNAME_SCHOOL'].events | count }}"
        attributes:
          events: "{{ monday_events['calendar.aula_weekly_plan_CHILDNAME_SCHOOL'].events }}"

Replace CHILDNAME_SCHOOL with your child's calendar entity name. Duplicate the block for each weekday by adjusting the timedelta offset (Tuesday = weekday() - 1, Wednesday = weekday() - 2, etc.).

You can also fetch all events for the whole week in a single call and filter per day:

template:
  - trigger:
      - platform: time_pattern
        hours: /1
    action:
      - action: calendar.get_events
        target:
          entity_id: calendar.aula_weekly_plan_CHILDNAME_SCHOOL
        data:
          start_date_time: >
            {{ (now() - timedelta(days=now().weekday())).strftime('%Y-%m-%d 00:00:00') }}
          end_date_time: >
            {{ (now() - timedelta(days=now().weekday()) + timedelta(days=7)).strftime('%Y-%m-%d 00:00:00') }}
        response_variable: week_events
    sensor:
      - name: "Monday Weekly Plan"
        unique_id: aula_monday_weekly_plan
        state: >
          {% set monday = (now() - timedelta(days=now().weekday())).strftime('%Y-%m-%d') %}
          {{ week_events['calendar.aula_weekly_plan_CHILDNAME_SCHOOL'].events
             | selectattr('start', 'search', monday) | list | count }}
        attributes:
          events: >
            {% set monday = (now() - timedelta(days=now().weekday())).strftime('%Y-%m-%d') %}
            {{ week_events['calendar.aula_weekly_plan_CHILDNAME_SCHOOL'].events
               | selectattr('start', 'search', monday) | list }}
      - name: "Tuesday Weekly Plan"
        unique_id: aula_tuesday_weekly_plan
        state: >
          {% set tuesday = (now() - timedelta(days=now().weekday() - 1)).strftime('%Y-%m-%d') %}
          {{ week_events['calendar.aula_weekly_plan_CHILDNAME_SCHOOL'].events
             | selectattr('start', 'search', tuesday) | list | count }}
        attributes:
          events: >
            {% set tuesday = (now() - timedelta(days=now().weekday() - 1)).strftime('%Y-%m-%d') %}
            {{ week_events['calendar.aula_weekly_plan_CHILDNAME_SCHOOL'].events
               | selectattr('start', 'search', tuesday) | list }}
