[APP][Pro] Trashcan Reminder 2.0

Same here. issue #255 is created. Thanks in advance!

For people searching and finding this topic. There is something wrong with Omrin at the moment. Hopefully they will expose their (new) API soon so I can implement it again :slight_smile:

Thanks @MrDutchfighter for fixing the Afvalkalender Omrin issue!

Great app!

I have the following ā€œproblemā€œ. When GFT is going to be emptied, it will say the full name instead of the color of the bin. Please advise.

Did you changed the name under settings of the app?
Can you place a screenshot of that part so someone can take a look at it.

I never changed anything, never had a reason for it. But I checked to be sure and I found two BIN’s now with the orange color, Plastic and PMD. So my guess is that this changed a while back ago and I did not notice it… PMD had the full description instead of the color, so I changed it to the color again. It should be fine now.

Thanks!

I watched it also before i did post my other answer and i saw also that there is a Plastic and a PMD.
But i have no idea if this was always there.
My Homey says the line i have wrote at the PMD.

Hi MrDutchfighter,

I’m a Homey user and developer. I recently submitted my own app called Kliko Calendar to the Homey App Store for certification. During the review process, the Homey App Store Team suggested that I reach out to you to explore whether we could collaborate rather than maintaining two separate apps.

The reason I originally built my own app is that I live on a corner where two streets meet. This means my waste bins can be collected from either side, depending on the week. As a result, I need to be able to use the collection schedules for two different addresses simultaneously — something that Trashcan Reminder 2.0 currently doesn’t support, as it works with a single address only.

I was wondering: would you be open to adding multi-address support to Trashcan Reminder 2.0? I’ve already done some development work on this myself, so I’d be happy to share what I’ve built or contribute to your app directly if that’s useful to you. ( Homey/nl.klikokalender at main Ā· jankeesder/Homey Ā· GitHub )

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

Wasn’t planning on supporting it, but you are more then welcome to create a pull request with support for multiple addresses. You can fork the beta branch and start from there. Circulus is already supported, so hopefully not to much work.

Hi MrDutchfighter,

Thanks for the quick reply and for being open to collaboration — I really appreciate it!

I did take a close look at the Trashcan Reminder 2.0 codebase before reaching out, and I think it’s a great and well-maintained app. However, after analysing what multi-address support would actually require, I have to be honest: it’s not a small addition.

Currently, the address is configured at the app level through the settings page, with a single set of global tags. Adding proper multi-address support would mean moving away from that model entirely — towards a device-based architecture where each address is represented as a separate Homey device with its own capabilities, flow triggers and settings. That’s a significant architectural change that would also affect existing users who would need to reconfigure their setup.

Given that this is your codebase with its own conventions, existing users and release cycle, I don’t feel it’s realistic for me to take on that kind of refactor as an outside contributor — it would simply take more time than I have available.

For my own use case (two addresses on a corner property), the device-based model I built in Kliko Calendar already solves the problem well. I’ll continue maintaining that separately for now.

That said, if you ever decide to move in that direction yourself and want to exchange ideas or reuse parts of my implementation, I’m very happy to help.

Thanks again for the open and friendly response!

It has been almost more then a year, but hopefully you are using the app and loving it. I added the possibility to remove custom dates. You can test it here in the latest test version: Trashcan Reminder 2.0 | Homey

Are other people having trouble with the ZRD waste collection calendar too? It can’t find my address anymore…

The new API seems to be somewhere here →

Hi MrDutchfighter,

Would it be possible to ad https://www.mijnafvalzaken.nl/

Thnx !

Hi @PvWoody,

Done! :slight_smile: You can test it here: Trashcan Reminder 2.0 | Homey
I think I will move it to the public channel somewhere around the weekend.

Cheers!

Installed and works, Thnx !

Hi all,

The request has come in a few times but up until now I didn’t really see the use-case for it and it would mean quite a restructure of the app. However, I have now found a way to support it and also keep all the existing settings and advanced option in tact. So I’m very happy to announce that you can now add your trash bins as devices. Giving you the option to use some flow cards from the device directly, and also gives you the opportunity to add multiple addresses (e.g. your vacation home, parents address, work address if you are responsible for that or whatever you need :slight_smile: ).

By adding it as a device you also have an additional option (next to the very nice widget option) to add your trash collection data to your dashboards.

I will keep this a bit longer in test, and hope that people are able to test it in the coming weeks to see if migration & functionality are all working properly.

Device address based:

Device trash type based (per address):

Widget as devices:

Widget (Setting: Compact):

Widget (Setting: Large):

@jkdr might be interesting for you as well? Don’t know if you still have the use case or that you already have another solution.

Seems like a good solid solution , just created a way arround this with AVD and flows.
purpose to show the trash planner on the Hdashboards.

Will rebuild it with this one

Many thanks

For the past few weeks, I have been experiencing two problems with the app.

  1. Increasingly often, the widget fails to load on my homepage, or it takes an extremely long time. I receive the message: Error: Error: Widget Not Found.

  2. In the settings, I have configured that I do not want reminders for certain waste types, such as hazardous waste and pruning. I entered N.V.T. (N/A) for these. However, these are still displayed in Debug and in the widget. I did not have this problem in the past.

Am I doing something wrong, or is there a bug in the app?

Would love to add the trash collection data as a device, but how do i do that ?

[Edit] i’ve aquired the habit to ask questions and then find the aswer right after that :roll_eyes:

Found it…

[Edit]

I do seem to have a language issue ? As, the date is in english, but it does say ā€˜Morgen’ and not ā€˜Tomorrow’. I’d prefer dutch..
