Feature Request: Add more countries and waste management companies

[dirkg173]

Hi,
Would it be possible and would you invest the time to add more countries and waste management companies?
At the moment I use the Home Assistant integration "Waste Collection Schedule". Flows are triggered on Homey via WebHooks. The integration works fine, but I would like to have an app running on Homey so I can turn off the RasPi. I'm not a fan of having to use multiple SmartHome systems. Ideally, Homey is the only SmartHome system (gateway/hub).
I'm not a programmer, but if it's about adding code snippets via copy & paste, or you would show me what I could support you with, then of course I would do that.

Kind regards
Dirk

Hi Dirk,

That is a very extensive list of waste collection API's.
With regards to adding new ones, you can read this manual: https://robertraaijmakers.github.io/com.trashchecker/developer-guidelines.html

That shows a bit on the structure of the current code and how you can add new API's.

Kind regards,
Robert

Hi Robert,
thanks for your reply.
I have looked at your manual, but as someone who has no programming knowledge, I am still completely overwhelmed, sorry.
Regarding the "Waste Collection Schedule", I am of course only interested in one waste collector, and that is this one:

custom_components/waste_collection_schedule/waste_collection_schedule/source/egn_abfallkalender_de.py

But what I already noticed is that you use "postcode, housenumber, street, country", but the API of "my" waste collector queries "city, district, street, housenumber". This is one of the reasons why I can't "transfer" the data from the "Waste Collection Schedule".
Maybe you could make an exception and add "my" waste collector? I would also donate 1 or 2 beers. 😉

I wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy 2023.
Dirk
