hacs_badge Holidays Maintenance

End of Support

Home Assistant has introduced native holiday integration in the 2024.1 release. I have therefore ended developing this custom integration.

Holidays

The holidays component is a Home Assistant helper that creates calendar entities with a list of public holidays in a country, based on the Python Holidays library. It's primary purpose is to work with garbage_collection helper to automatically move entities with manual_update automation blueprints. But it can also be used independently to show the next public holiday in a given country (or multiple countries).
