Chore tracking (community.home-assistant.io)

Does anyone know of a simpler chore tracker than Grocy? I essentialy just want reminders for recurring tasks like rinsing heat pump filters, oiling wooden work surfaces etc.

Grocy seems like overkill for that, but maybe it's the easiest option?

I ran across a yt video that lead me to this page. I took the info/ideas here and built my kid chore system. With a dashboard that tracks what he did and total points that is tied to his allowance. Built in some anti-gaming stuff by day/time locking some things. He can only collect most trash cans on trash night. He can only empty the dishwasher once a day etc...

One cool thing, when he scans the trash cans to bring them in. If it's on trash day and between x-ypm it opens the garage door for him.

He's at camp this week so they're now my chores

What I love about Grocy is that it works with NFC tags. Once the chores are setup initially all it takes is to scan the tag and it gets marked done. I added a notification that's read aloud on the speakers in the house for positive reinforcement

That's very cool, I'll have to test the WAF with NFC ๐Ÿ˜…
