Chores and Rewards

Share your Projects! Custom Integrations

Sharing a project I've been building: ADHDTasker, a family chore‑and‑rewards app (Android + web) with a native Home Assistant integration that pulls the smart home into the chore loop.

The idea: kids earn points scaled by how gross and how long a job is (onerousness × minutes) and spend them from a "bank" on rewards. HA makes it physical — the kitchen speaker announces a chore's due, a light flashes green when one's done, and automations can add chores (e.g. dishwasher power drops → add "Empty the dishwasher").

What the integration gives you (installs via HACS):

  • A native todo board entity — open chores as a to‑do list; tick to complete (awards points).
  • Sensors — open‑task count (with the full board + leaderboard as attributes), pending‑approval, last‑event, and per‑kid points + bank balance.
  • Services — add_task, add_interrupt, claim_task, complete_task, approve_task, ping.
  • An adhdtasker_event bus event for every chore action → drives a per‑person announce blueprint (with quiet‑time so it goes silent at bedtime).
  • Real‑time webhook push + a 1‑minute poll fallback.

My favourite part is per‑kid wall‑tablet dashboards — each kid sees their bank balance, just their own chores, and a button that deep‑links straight into their board in the app:

Needs Mushroom + card‑mod. Replace FAMILY with your family slug and alex/Alex with the child — the exact entity IDs are in Developer Tools → States. A full family dashboard and the announce blueprint are in the repo.

HA setup guide: Home Assistant integration — ADHDTasker

It's free and currently in beta — I'd love feedback from anyone running a chore/reward setup with HA. Happy to answer setup questions! :slightly_smiling_face:

Next step is (now that I've built the integration for OPNSense) making so the kids can buy time on various socials via OPNSense Alias Lists :grinning_face:
