Okay everyone, I know there are several chore tracking options around, including Grocy. The unfortunate thing about all these, is none of them fit me exact use case, and so I am trying to develop my own by combining pieces from several, but I am running into some hardships. Hopefully some of those around here that have more knowledge than me can help me with this,
Goals - Overall - Have chore tracking that is native inside home assistant using what already exists. ( this is why grocy is not an option for me, as I will not be the only one using this and I donât want to have my kids and wife have to log into another layer to track chores) The others I have seen have parts that I want but not all.
Goals - Operation - I want chores that are supposed to be done every so many days, or daily. I want them to be assigned to people in the house randomly but equally (I think the random integration already in Home assistant can be used for this based off what I have read about this , I can have it select a random number in a range I specify, and it will pick each number roughly equally in quantity to any other number in the range. I figure I can just have each number be equal to a child/member of the household)
Proposed way to make work - I think having each chore be seen as some sort of device with multiple sensors may be the way?
For example, Clean The Bathroom is a chore, it has the following sensors:
Person Assigned = Random number between 1 and 7 - Each number is displayed as a name of a member of the household - Can this possibly be linked to users of my home assistant instance?
Date Done: Last time the chore was marked done
Done by: Last person who did the chore, basically the previous state of the person assigned sensor
Date Due: Next time the chore is due
Input date: When person assigned does the chore, they can mark it done and the chore is automatically re-dated with a new due date and assigned to a new person.
I also assume there will need to be a script and makes the due date sensor reset with a new date and makes the person assigned sensor get a new random number.
So, is this possible with what is already in Home assistant?
