The Agenda view is a forward-rolling, day-by-day event list that always starts from today and looks ahead a configurable number of days. Unlike the timed-grid Week and Schedule views, the Agenda view is a flat, linear list anchored to the present moment. Every time you open the card, the list begins at today’s date so you never have to scroll back to find where you are. This makes it the best choice for dashboards where you want an always-current “what’s coming up” feed that requires no navigation.

​
Activating Agenda View

Set default_view to agenda in your card configuration: 
type: custom:daylight-calendar-card
default_view: agenda

​
Configuration Options

​
rolling_days_agenda
number
default:"null"
Used by Agenda only.The number of days ahead the Agenda view covers, counting from today. Set it to 7 for a one-week lookahead, or 30 for a rolling month. The list stops after this many days regardless of whether there are events remaining.
​
agenda_compact_events
boolean
default:"false"
Used by Agenda only.When true, event rows use a denser layout with reduced padding and smaller text, fitting more events on screen at once. Enable this when you have a high event volume or a small card footprint and want to maximise the number of visible rows.
​
hide_empty_days
boolean
default:"false"
Used by Agenda only.When true, days with no events are omitted from the list. Combined with a long rolling_days_agenda, this creates a tight feed that jumps directly from one event-filled day to the next, skipping quiet days entirely.
​
shorten_event_times
boolean
default:"false"
Used by Month, Week, Schedule, and Agenda.When true, event times are abbreviated — for example 2 PM instead of 2:00 PM. Pair this with agenda_compact_events: true for the most space-efficient Agenda layout.
​
use_24hr_schedule
boolean
default:"false"
Used by Month, Week, Schedule, and Agenda. Despite the name, it is used by the shared event-time formatter, not only the Schedule view.When true, event times use 24-hour format (e.g. 14:00) instead of 12-hour format with AM/PM.
​
show_event_location
boolean
default:"false"
Used by Week, Schedule, and Agenda. Also applies to Month only when show_all_details_month is enabled.When true, the location field of each event is shown on a line below the event title. Particularly useful in an agenda context where you’re planning your day and need to know where to be.
​
use_short_location
boolean
default:"false"
Used by Week, Schedule, and Agenda. Also applies to Month only when show_all_details_month is enabled. Has no visible effect unless show_event_location is also enabled.Truncates long addresses to a shorter form so they don’t push event rows taller.
​
hide_times_for_calendars
array
default:"[]"
Used by Month, Week, Schedule, and Agenda.An array of calendar entity IDs whose events should not display time labels. Useful for all-day-style calendars where exact times are noise.
​
past_event_mode
string
default:"none"
Used by Month, Week, Schedule, and Agenda. Controls how events that have already ended are handled across the card. Accepted values:
  • none — past events look the same as upcoming events (default).
  • muted — past events are rendered at reduced opacity to draw attention to what’s still coming.
  • hide — past events are removed from the list entirely, leaving only future events visible.

​
Jump to Today

If you scroll the Agenda list forward to browse upcoming events, a Jump to Today button appears in the card header. Tapping it instantly resets the scroll position back to today’s date section so you never lose your place. This button only appears when you have scrolled away from today — it is hidden when today’s section is already visible at the top of the list.

​
Example Configuration

The following configuration sets up Agenda view with a 30-day rolling window, compact event rows, hidden empty days, and location display: 
type: custom:daylight-calendar-card
default_view: agenda
rolling_days_agenda: 30
agenda_compact_events: true
hide_empty_days: true
shorten_event_times: true
past_event_mode: muted
show_event_location: true
use_short_location: false

​
Tips

For a “daily briefing” style tile on your main dashboard, combine rolling_days_agenda: 7, hide_empty_days: true, and past_event_mode: hide. The card will always show a clean, forward-looking week of events with no clutter from things that have already passed.
If you want the Agenda view inside a fixed-height grid card, add compact_height: true to prevent the list from expanding the card’s vertical footprint as the event count grows. The list will scroll internally within the fixed container instead.
