Subject: [PATCH] Remove unreliable Test it section from Trash Night Reminder
 (#974)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The test relied on a calendar event starting a minute out, but Home
Assistant only refreshes calendar triggers about every 15 minutes, so
it wouldn't fire for most users. Rather than document the re-save
workaround, drop the section entirely to match the other Everyday Use
pages, which don't carry a test step.

Fixes #969

     The same pattern works for any calendar-driven reminder - medication schedules, bin days for a second home, watering days for the garden. Swap the colors, the calendar name, or the action and you have a new reminder with no extra hardware.
