Hi,
Sure. Letās see if I can help.
Just go into the KidsChores on HACS, open the menu and select redownload:
Then click on āNeed a different versionā and select the pre-release version:
And then āDownloadā.
Restart HA and it will be updated! 
trying the beta and it seems to work as before.
Forgot to pop back here and say Thank You!!
I would love to helpā¦ not that I am good with pythonā¦ Iām a Staff Swift Dev, but I can tell you one thing. I have Claude MAXā¦
I have foundā¦ a fairly major issueā¦ I had created a TestKiddoā¦ and then I deleted him after a few weeksā¦ 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 mistakeā¦ I was wrong. Forgive my insolence
I havenāt 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 Iām 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
Thank you!
So, if I were wanting to try this out, Iād be best to wait for this to roll out?
Probably be out before Iām 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 thereās some ESPHome stuff I need to handle first that wasnāt in the breaking changes. Or I read the wrong release notes, either is plausible.
Wow, long time userā¦
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 itās complexity.
Haffun!
I have a strange issueā¦ Created a chore, and set a due date on itā¦
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 dateā¦
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 āUnknown errorā when trying to edit a chore ā¦ Any ideas ?
Is there a video out there showing this off and go through all the features?
Thank you for this, I have been looking for a good Chore system!!
One question, I finished installing it and once I tried it out, I cannot find a way to reset everything to zero. Is there a way to do this or do I need to reinstall it?
Thanks again!
Check out the wiki: https://github.com/ad-ha/kidschores-ha/wiki/Service%3A-Reset-All-Data
Thank you!
Ok, Iām newer to this and do not see where I would delete the data, what service am I looking for where?
I apologize if this has been asked elsewhere but I could not find it.
Is there a way to add a button to a dashboard that will allow you to add or create a new chore without having to click your way through to the integration? I would like a way to click a button on the dashboard and have the same popup chore creation screens to come up as if you were setting it up like normal. Sometimes there is a popup chore you want to add and it is much easier to just click a button than navigate to the integration, create the chore, then navigate back to the dashboard.
Thanks
After updating to the latest Home Assistant core, all my entities say no longer available. Anyone else with the same issue?
I believe the following change might be responsible, but I wonāt be able to confirm until tomorrow. .
Improve entity id generation (#160302) Ā· home-assistant/core@0130919 Ā· GitHub
The quickest fix might be going back to the January HA release, but Iāll keep you posted with a fix or workaround.
i have the same issue
I too would like this.
KidsChores v0.5.0-beta3 is now available via HACS.
This release includes a breaking change to entity ID generation which change due to Home Assistant 2026.2.0 standards. All kid-specific entities will be renamed from kc_kidname_* to kidname_kidschores_* format (e.g., sensor.kc_sarah_points becomes sensor.sarah_kidschores_points).
Migration is automatic, but some users may need to remove and re-add the integration if entity IDs donāt update correctly. Removing the integration will not remove your data and you will be able to import it when you add the integration back. After migration, you will need to update any automations, dashboards, or scripts that reference entities using the old format.
For complete migration guidance and detailed release notes, please see:
Please report any issues you encounter during the upgrade process.
