Hi everyone,
I’d like to share a project that started out as a small private todo card for our family dashboard and somehow grew into a full integration over the past months: Home Tasks.
I wanted our household chores in Home Assistant. Local, automatable, on the wall tablet . HA’s built-in todo lists are a nice base, but I kept missing things: proper recurring tasks, reminders, assigning tasks to family members, sub-tasks, and a card that’s actually pleasant to use on a touch screen.
So Home Tasks is two things:
A native integration
task lists stored locally in HA, each list exposed as a normal todo. entity (so the Companion App, voice assistants and existing automations keep working), plus sensors, a calendar entity, and a set of events and services for automations. Tasks can have due dates/times, reminders, priorities, tags, notes, sub-tasks, an assigned person, and recurrence.
A Lovelace card
List or image-tile view, drag & drop, sections, filters, voice input, per-person chips, and a visual editor for everything.
A few examples of the features:
-
External lists: you can link lists from Todoist, CalDAV/Nextcloud, Google Tasks, Bring and other providers. Whatever a provider can’t store (sub-tasks, reminders, recurrence…) lives in a local overlay, so every feature keeps working on top of any list. Todoist even syncs bidirectionally through its API. But I had to limit some features for synchronized lists to ensure compatibility
-
Automation hooks: events like
home_tasks_task_completed,task_assigned,task_reminderandtask_overduecarry the task’s tags and assignee, and services likeadd_task/update_tasklet automations create and edit tasks completely.
Installation: Search for “Home Tasks” in HACS
It’s been our daily driver for months now, but the last few releases were shaped by user tickets, and honestly that’s been the most fun part of the project.
