šŸ” KidsChores – Family Chore Management Integration

Hi,

Sure. Let’s see if I can help.

Just go into the KidsChores on HACS, open the menu and select redownload:

Then click on ā€œNeed a different versionā€ and select the pre-release version:

And then ā€œDownloadā€.

Restart HA and it will be updated! :ok_hand:

trying the beta and it seems to work as before.

Forgot to pop back here and say Thank You!!

I would love to help… not that I am good with python… I’m a Staff Swift Dev, but I can tell you one thing. I have Claude MAX…

I have found… a fairly major issue… I had created a TestKiddo… and then I deleted him after a few weeks… the result seems to be catastrophic failure of HA. The Webserver freezes completely. Still working on what happened but finally discovered some of these clues today.
I made a mistake… I was wrong. Forgive my insolence

I haven’t been able to work on this over the past few months, but I just picked up development on it again in the last few weeks and I’m planning to release a major update to the beta version within the next ~week. (I spoke with @VaReTaS and we are aligned).

There are significant improvements to backend data handling and reliability, in addition to a lot of new features. For those of you using the KidsChores Dashboard, there will also be a new dashboard released to go with it that has been complete rewritten with performance that is 60-80% faster than the original version. I know some of you on slower systems or connections really notice it.

One thing I want to do more testing on is the data migration to the new structure, but I need some sample

Can I request a few of you to make copies of your kidschores_data files and post them to this GitHub repo link?

Thank you!

So, if I were wanting to try this out, I’d be best to wait for this to roll out?

Probably be out before I’m ready anyways, working on updating Home Assistant Core to 2012.12 and then migrate to HAOS. Just had to rollback from 2012.6 to 2012.5 via my backup because that was a catastrophe. I think there’s some ESPHome stuff I need to handle first that wasn’t in the breaking changes. Or I read the wrong release notes, either is plausible.

Wow, long time user…

Waiting so long (probably you mean 2022.x) to do an update can be done but the longer you wait, the more issues you might encounter, depending on your setup and it’s complexity.

Haffun!

I have a strange issue… Created a chore, and set a due date on it…
Found out it maybe not was optimal, as it was a chore only to be done Mondays-Friday, so I deleted it again, submitted/finished the config and reloaded the integration (to be on the safe side).
Tried to create the chore again, set it to daily and picked Monday-Friday - and no due date…
The chore now shows again - but with the same due date as the old one had ?
What is the right way to configure (or re-configure) a chore - to remove the due date, and make sure that the chore only is active Monday to Friday ?

Also - now one day after trying to set it up, I get ā€œUnknown errorā€ when trying to edit a chore … Any ideas ?
