Please explain the ETA attribute

Open JeroenTuinstra opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

Could someone please explain what the ETA attribute stands for. Is that literally 24hrs till the event? Because I have an event tomorrow morning and it gives me a ETA of 1, but the same day in the afternoon it gives me ETA of 2.

Had hoped the ETA was how many days removed from the current day.

I am also looking for this. Some "today" events have an eta of 0 while others are 1. I'm trying to leverage this attribute for my HA automation.

eta is whatever python counts as days until the event starts:

The code could obviously be changed to do something else tht might be a better solution, please consider creating a PR.
