How to Use the To-Do Option Action Buttons: Follow these steps:

  1. Start by adding the Local To-Do integration. Click here to visit the official Home Assistant website for instructions, or simply click the Add Integration button below.

  2. Once you have installed the Local To-Do integration, you’ll need to create an integration entry.

    Note - The default shopping list isn’t compatible due to its lack of description capability. However, all other To-Do lists are fully supported.

    1. Navigate to Settings > Devices & Services > Integrations.
    2. Click on the Local To-Do integration.

    1. Select Add Entry and choose a name for your entry. For example, I named mine Blueprints and Maintenance List, as shown below. This will be the To-Do list where you can add your tasks.

  3. Now that you have an Entry, you can use it in the blueprint. In the Action Button section of the blueprint, enable the To-Do List by selecting one of the top two options. I chose Add To-Do List Action Buttons + Confirmation Message because I prefer to receive a confirmation message.

    The input highlighted by the red box is where I’ve selected my Maintenance List Entry. You should select the entry you created by following the steps above.

    Next, edit the default text inputs to suit your preferences and language. Ensure that all inputs contain some text.

  4. Now, when you receive a low battery notification on your device, you’ll have the option to add the low batteries to your selected To-Do List Entry. The appearance of these options may vary depending on whether your device is iOS or Android…

    iOS

    When you receive the message, tap and hold, then release to view the action buttons. If you tap quickly and it disappears, that’s just how iOS functions, and unfortunately, I can’t change it.

    Below is an example of how it looks when I tap and hold, then release.

    If you tap on the confirmation message, it will take you directly to your chosen Entry To-Do List, displaying the entry from your action button. You can then edit it by tapping on the entry and setting a date if you wish.
