  2. Restart you Home Assistant
  3. Follow the setup instructions below

Setup

For ease you can skip the first two steps using this my.home-assistant link:

  2. Click Add Integration and select Cardiff Waste
  3. When prompted add your properties post code and press submit

Configuration

By default, sensors will be created for the next food waste, garden waste, general waste and recycling collections, by default a sensor is not created for the next hygiene waste collection as not all properties receive these. You can remove or recreate any of these by clicking on the "Configure" button in the Cardiff Waste panel within Devices & Services form the Configuration menu.
