Order from a menu

1

Hey guys,

Im using home assistant in my sauna to control lights and music and such.
Now I also provide a range of snacks/meals in the sauna and I wonder if possible, what would be a good way to get customers choose from a menu in home assistant and that I receive a mail and/or message/notifications
or if not possible to add a menu, just like a blank box where they can type in anything and that I get the message on my phone/pc

thanks in advance

Do you already know the Shopping List integration?

I did not :slight_smile:
thanks for this. I will look into it and see how this helps me

I looked into it but not sure if this can do what I need/want.
I would need to make my own list where a customer can check what they want and press a send button and that I get a mail/message

With a few helpers and 2 scripts you can create a menu selection without installing an integration. Would have an output like this:
