I want to create a “daily walkaround” that checks a wide variety of things like battery levels, other monitored consumable levels like printer ink and water tank level and so forth.
There are a couple of issues I see in trying to figure out how to do it.
-
If I make a script or automation that just sends out notifications I’ll probably just get overwhelmed. If I trigger a replace battery at 25% I may not replace it for weeks so wow, lots on needless notifications or RTM tasks.
-
Ideally I’d create a daily email with issues listed but I’m not sure how to build such a complex thing in HA. I’d have no problem in python though so I am leaning that way.
-
There will be some tasks I want to automate like rebooting various pi servers but not sure how to do that.
