I have bunch of humidors and cigars and I would like to create a dashboard for my cigar room. I am using a shopping list for cigars but it is very basic and bad looking. I need to add same cigar for 25 times and i have to count to understand how many left or smoked.
I need to find a way to create a list that shows the quantity of each cigar and very detailed information about that cigar such as brand, purchase date, purchase price, origin etc.
Does anyone have an idea?
How do you keep the list today?
I have not looked but did one for wine with cellartracker.com
What about https://boxpressd.com/?
Likely one can get access and use something to disaply it … but adding/smoking is a different story.
I created a to-do list. I have to add every single cigar to that list and mark as done one by one.
I am unable to see total quantity or purchase date or price…
I visited the links you sent but my wish is finding a solution which is in sync with HA and which can be shown in cigar dashboard with humidor temperatures and humidities.
Understood. As I said I did use the cellartracker API which with a REST sensor can get the data for wines in my collection. BUT that does not give you the ability to edit and upload.
If you are not cloud-adverse, you could create a spreadsheet in Google Sheets and use the Webpage card to display it. It would provide you all the editing you wish.
This would also have the benefits of searching, filtering, sorting as well as summing and any other functions. Quick search also finds this:
But that is more of an integration for transactions, not data manipulation necessarily. I use Home Assistant and Google Sheets now to keep track of inventory for my winery as well as disposition of those (sold, poured/tasting, other marketing, charity donation, etc.).
I’ve not actually used this myself, so don’t know if it will work for you, but have you tried Grocy?
While not bad, being a wine and cigar person I can already tell you it is not exactly what we would want. We need our own “columns” think wine:
Vintage, Type, Name, Description, Country, AVA, Notes, Rating, Qty, price, etc.
Think cigars:
Vintage, Type, Wrapper, Blend, Country, Qty, manybe many others.
It really is simply a spreadsheet,
You can in 10 seconds create a Dashboard, put in a Webpage card, and set the link to any spreadsheet you have in your personal Google Sheets app. It displays the widget and you can add, edit, delete, change and it saves automatically.
I tried Grocy after your suggestion and loved it.
I can add every cigar to inventory, I can create shopping list for desired cigars and I can track lifespan of Boveda humidity packs. I loved it.
Still I am unable to add inventory list to my Cigar Dashboard. Is there any way to add it to the dashboard?
There is a custom integration
I installed this integration already. I just could not manage to show inventory list on specific dashboard.
I can see Grocy at sidebar but I need and interactive card to see the list and mark one if smoked already.
Are you sure?
There are 2 different Grocy things. The first is an add-on which runs the Grocy server and will add a link to the side bar. But it’s just an add-on that runs the server, it doesn’t integrate into Home Assistant.
The link I posted is for an actual integration that you add via the HACS store and then after restarting Home Assistant, add it to Home Assistant in the devices and services section.
All entities are disabled from the start. You have to manually enable the entities you want to use in Home Assistant. You get a sensor each for chores, meal plan, shopping list, stock, tasks and batteries. You get a binary sensor each for overdue, expired, expiring and missing products and for overdue tasks, overdue chores and overdue batteries.
And then you will need to enable the entities you want.
I’m glad Grocy worked for you, as I say, I’ve never used it myself, so can’t offer any further advice, although there are clearly others that can help further.
