I have AuDHD which means I get deeply fascinated by the wrong things for long periods of time.
I’ve tried three times to make sourdough from scratch, but I always forget to feed it and it either dies or goes mouldy as a result.
I decided that this one was going to work, so I thought I’d put reminders into my calendar, then I thought “hang on, why don’t I completely over-engineer this and build a home assistant integration?!”
GitHub - Matts-Baps/ha-sourdough: A Home Assistant integration to help track and remind me about my sourdough! · GitHub is the result:
There’s a full readme in the git repo and you can install it via HACS. The recipe is based on one I found on Instagram that seems to be working well so far!
If you do decide to use it and have any issues, please raise a bug on the Github Repo and I’ll do my best to respond to it as soon as I can!
A note about AI:
I’ve unashamedly used Claude Code to develop this. I’ve got 25 years experience of software development, agile coaching, and linux systems administration and I’ve leant heavily on that experience to guide the AI on this project including guardrails such as pull requests on github and manual review of the code before it is merged.
Claude has helped me develop in hours something that would have taken me months of evenings and weekends forgetting context.
If you don’t like AI, great! Good for You! Feel free to not install this into your home assistant installation, but this code has been created by bots and reviewed by humans, and I’m rather pleased with the results!
