Add device action support to the calendar integration

[balloob]

Add device action support to the calendar integration.

Device actions are part of Device Automations, a new concept that was recently launched to make automations more user friendly.

Device automations consist of three different parts: triggers, conditions and actions. This issue is about the action part.

To get started with this issue, you will need to set up a Home Assistant development environment. The easiest approach is to get started using a dev container.

Once you have a development environment set up, run the following and follow the instructions:

python3 -m script.scaffold device_action

(This issue is part of #26979)

hi, i'm getting this error when running python3 -m script.scaffold device_action:

$ python3 -m script.scaffold device_action

What is the domain?

-> not sure if there's an error in the device action file? is there another place i can get the template for adding a device action?

That's weird. It means your slugify is not up to date. Can you run python3 install -e . to install the latest requirements of Home Assistant? The templates can be found here https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/tree/dev/script/scaffold/templates/device_action

I was looking at this issue as a way to introduce myself to HA code and followed the instructions. When I try out the scaffold by trying go to create a device action, I don't see where in the UI I am able to do this.

Am I seeing this correctly that the calendar integration only creates calendars as entities and does not create any device? That would mean that it isn't possible to add a device action to the calendar since there is no device at all? That is, in async_get_actions created by the scaffold, it is searching for a device_id but since there is no device, there will never be a device id.

I'm also curious if this is still relevant as the calendar changed a lot in that last year
