My partner and I use a git repository on our self-hosted gitea instance for household management.
Issue tracker and kanban boards for task management, wiki for documentation, and some infrastructure components are version controlled in the repo itself.
Home Assistant (also self-hosted) provides the ability to easily and automatically create issues based on schedules and sensor data, like creating a git issue when when weather conditions tomorrow may necessitate checking this afternoon that nothing gets left out in the rain.
Matrix (also self-hosted) lets Gitea and Home Assistant bully us into remembering to do things we might have forgotten. (Send a second notification if the washer finished 15 minutes ago, but the dryer never started)
It's been fantsstic being able to create git issues for honey-dos as well as having the automations for creating issues for recurring tasks. “Hey we need to take X to the vet for Y sometime next week” “Oh yeah, can you go ahead and put in a ticket?” And vice versa.
Very interesting! It's tempting, but I can already see the "Major Change ticket" coming in for "Divorce" if I asked for tickets at home :D
We've both got a software dev background, so it wasn't a particularly difficult solution to sell, as soon as we came up with it it was very much a "oh duh, why didn't one of us think of that way earlier"
This is the geekiest thing I’ve ever heard. I love it
How do you monitor the washing machine and drier?
Washing machine is a threshold sensor in Home Assistant on the power draw entity on a sonoff s31 smart outlet flashed w/ ESPHome.
Dryer is another threshold sensor on a current clamp connected to an ESP32 running ESPHome.
Perfect thank you.
