BeepBasket - Barcode scanning directly to your shopping list

[m_wynand (Wynand)]

Greetings all,

Herewith my first contribution to HACS with my project BeepBasket

It allows you to scan barcodes directly from your Home Assistant Companion App or web using your device camera into the default shopping list of Home Assistant.

Alternatively, a barcode scanner with an ESPHome config can post directly to your shopping list. Just scan it before you throw it away and it adds it to your shopping list.

# BeepBasket

**Beep barcodes straight into your shopping basket!**

## Features

- Instant barcode → shopping list
- OpenFoodFacts auto-lookup
- Local product cache (JSON)
- Custom UI card (`beepbasket-card`)
- Dustbin sensor support

Here is the complete build and instructions

This seems kinda awesome. Would be great to if it was easily paired up with Improved Shopping List Card

You probably want to document that the camera only works in the app when using https.

I was not event aware to that awesome project. I did notice on the link you provided

This card is based on the original Home Assistant shopping list (shopping_list) and uses its data structure.
All items you add in this card will also appear in the standard shopping list – and vice versa.

So it should be possible since the BeepBasket also submits its data to the standard shopping list.

Thanks for the reminder. I did make those changes to the project page and the github repo.

Fixed: I didn’t add it as a service

I have installed both the integration and the card, however I get this screen and it won’t add anything. It also seems I don’t have the 2 ‘actions’

Any ideas?

beepbasket.add_mapping
beepbasket.remove_mapping

Ok, seems you got it up and running, nice.

Is there anything unclear in the instructions that I can add to the documentation to ensure we keep it a simple and easy process?

No issues with the docs, it’s just I missed this step …
