I am used to type same product names in Bring! and HA, but if you find it usefull i think i can modify the blueprint in order to replace ‘:’ coming from Bring! app, and make it a blank space.
Been away for a week and now work is stupid crazy with escalations, i’ll get back into this next week I think,
I’ll keep you posted and thanks for all your work!
any way of making the txt fields larger than 255 characters? it’s annoying me, yup I am anal and try to add everything including brand and pictures, very helpful for when the wife does shopping or I don’t get what I asked for.
Hi Brent! i don’t know if you can extend the helper beyong 255 characters, but sure you can just add another helper and split products in more categories if you need it
Haha well that will fit into my OCD basket lol
so i’ve done some looking and if you use an attribute by doing a customisation then you can get around the 255 character limit.
Or maybe we could create a JSON file?
I have created an attribute but can’t figure out what to change to look at that list rather than the state, so no idea if it works or not.
Are you able to point me in the right place?
I think it’s simpler to replace the input_text with a template sensor so you can still work with the ‘state’ and there is no need to make further changes in the code.
Does it help?
thanks tried that but the state can’t be over 255 characters, but if you use attributes you can also use special characters like “:”
To those interested, there is now since 2024.2.0 an integration directly available witout HACS leveraging the todo lists. See Bring! - Home Assistant
But how to use this app with Google assistent?
For now, this is the workaround i am using
Or you can use this blueprint. But you have to make some changes, which ones exactly, is in the article. It doesn’t work smoothly yet. However, this is enough for me at the moment.
Thanks for this! Any chance we could get an alternative layout for the CATALOG popup? something like the grid approach of the RECENTLY PURCHASED section? I’m using a Tablet mounted on my fridge, so I’m triyin to use all the screen realstate to make it easier to pick the items that need to be added.
I want to launch a new version in the coming weeks, so i’ll keep this in mind!
Finally!
I just published this guide to feed shopping list through ANY voice assistant, and keep them sincronized! Enjoy!
That’s amazing but are you aware Alexa List API will stop working July 1st?
This looks good.
I have read the guides (auto translated to English). But I’m not quite clear: does this allow for, in my case, Google assistant/speakers to add items to the Bring app (as before)? If so, can you explain the main steps please.
I’ve tried to follow the guides, but not quite sure that I am doing things correctly. Seems as though, you need to create the sensors file first, then simply use the blueprint?
But I’m confused about the syncing between Bring and Google Tasks/Keep (not sure which one is current/to use). Do these simply need to be added as integrations and your sensor file & blueprint will do the syncing?
To be honest, i wasn’t It sucks!
Well, we will cross that bridge when we get there!
- First you need Google Keep integration and Bring integration, so you have both shopping list available in Home Assistant.
- Create this sensors in order to read Home Assistant shopping list
- Then import the blueprint
This way your Home Assistant, Bring and Google Keep shopping list will be synchronized!
Have got Google Keep list and Bring lists showing in To-do in HA. The two lists are not synced though. Voice only seems to add to the Keep list.
I have enabled my Bring list in the Blueprint automation. Does the Bring list have to be named something specific?
Thanks.
