**French School Holidays** helps you automate Homey around the French school calendar and regional public holidays — using official government data.

Perfect if you want quieter mornings during vacations, different heating/lighting schedules on public holidays, reminders before the kids are off school, etc.

### 🔗 App Store

> Automate your home around French school holidays

### ✨ What it does

- School vacations by zone: **A / B / C** , Corsica, overseas
- **Regional public holidays** (not only Metropolitan France)
- **Dashboard widget** — today’s overview at a glance
- Homey UI in **French & English** (calendar labels stay in official French by default, optional English)

### ⚙ Setup (30 seconds)

1. Install the app
2. Open **Settings**
3. Pick your **school zone** + **public holiday region**
  - or tap **Suggest from Homey location**

4. Save

Default if you change nothing: **Zone A** + **Metropolitan France**.

### 🔄 How data works

- Official calendars are **cached on Homey**
- Vacations cache: up to **90 days** · Public holidays: up to **180 days**
- Nightly recalc around **00:05 Paris time** so your Flows stay up to date
- Works offline while the cache is valid

### ⚡ Flow cards

**When…**

- School vacation **starts** today
- School vacation **ends** today
- School vacation **starts in N days**
- School vacation **ends in N days**
- It is a **public holiday** today
- Tomorrow is a **public holiday**

**And…**

- It **is** / **is not** school vacation
- It **is** / **is not** a public holiday
- Vacation type **is** …
- Next school vacation **starts within N days**
- School vacation **ends within N days**
- Next public holiday **within N days**

### 💡 Example ideas

- Dim lights / delay wake-up alarms during school vacations
- Different heating schedule on public holidays
- Notify X days before vacation starts (“time to plan!”)
- Skip weekday routines when kids are off school
