I have a issue with Calendar based automations.
I have created the following "test" automation. where a action needs to happen based on the event in the Calendar.
In this test automation,
if "new year" triggers, it should turn OFF a light
If "april fools" triggers it should turn ON a light
alias: Calendar events
