What This Skill Does

The Henteplan skill provides a robust interface for querying Norwegian waste collection schedules directly through the OpenClaw AI agent. By leveraging the Henteplan API, the skill enables users to seamlessly find their local waste management provider, pinpoint specific residential addresses, and retrieve upcoming pickup dates for various waste fractions like paper, plastic, and food waste. It covers over 200 Norwegian municipalities and 12 major providers, ensuring that whether you are in Trondheim or another supported region, you have access to accurate, up-to-date waste disposal information. The skill also facilitates calendar integration by providing iCal subscription links, allowing users to keep their personal calendars synced with local municipal collection cycles.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your environment, use the OpenClaw CLI tool. Run the following command in your terminal:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/henrikkvamme/henteplan

Ensure that you have network access enabled for the agent, as this skill relies on real-time requests to the Henteplan API at https://henteplan.no.

Use Cases

• Household Management: Quickly check when the next paper or plastic pickup is scheduled for your home to ensure bins are placed out on time.
• Moving Assistance: Use the provider detection feature to identify the correct waste management service for a new address you are considering or moving into.
• Calendar Syncing: Generate an iCal link to automate reminders in Google Calendar or Apple Calendar, removing the manual labor of checking municipal websites.
• Information Retrieval: Easily list all supported providers to verify if your municipality is currently covered by the Henteplan network.

Example Prompts

1. "When is the next waste pickup for my house at Kongens gate 1 in Trondheim?"
2. "Which waste provider covers the postal code 7013, and what is their website?"
3. "Give me an iCal link for my trash schedule so I can add it to my iPhone calendar."

Tips & Limitations

• Precision is Key: When searching for an address, providing the exact street and house number yields the best results. If the API returns multiple matches, the skill will prompt you for clarification.
• Translation: The skill internally maps technical codes to plain Norwegian terms like 'restavfall' or 'matavfall' for better readability.
• Connectivity: The API enforces a 10-second timeout on all requests; ensure your network connection is stable to avoid retrieval errors.
• Scope: This skill is strictly for Norwegian waste collection. It will not work for international or non-municipal waste services.
