The calendar merge helper allows you to create an overall overview for one or more calendars. For a certain number of days into the future and a maximum number of events.
There will be created a calendar with the merged calendar events and a main sensor with the number of calendar events. And attributes with events formatted and raw to create the markdown text or used a template. And for each event there will be created a sensor with a postfix _event_0 to _event_x with the summary and the event date. Please note that changes to the monitored calendars first will be reflected in the Calendar merge helper within a couple of minutes.
For installation instructions until the Calendar merge helper is part of HACS, see this guide.
