Thank you! But I also have to create a new video for this as things have changed. I think there will be some more changes to the Shopping list in next update too 😉
Thanks for the video. Unfortunately the integrated shopping list is quite basic. I am using Our Groceries for years now watching your video mad me look to see if is any integration in HACS for it. Guess what, there is, let's see what can do with it.
Haven't checked HACS for something similar in a while. Thanks for the tip. Yes - this is very limited and while there were some idea6tp improve it, nothing has been done.
Super cool! The first thought I had was: " can it easily be linked to Google Assistant?" or something similar of course. Adding stuff with voice would be really neat. 😄 Thanks for another nice video.
Some are using Alexa routines. For Google - have no idea on where to start to do that. But there is 3rd option - Home Assistant Conversation - if you have it enabled, you can click on mic in HA (app for example) and say "Add milk to my shopping list" and it will add it :)
It looks like an easy option to try out to integrate some barcode reader with ESP32 to scan something and add then a respective item to list (toothpaste, toilet paper, milk and bread database should be easy to handle)
No, unfortunately no idea. But my next video will be about Home Assistant Speech to text and also custom voice commands. It's far from same, but maybe can help. I'm showing in example how to use it to add items to list with voice.
Hey, nice tutorial! is there a way for the notifications to trigger only when there are items on the list? It would be annoying to get a notification everytime you go to a shop but the shopping list is empty? Cheers!
Thanks for the comment - easy question, but not really easy to do. There is no easy way to check the list if it's empty or not. You could try to build binary_sensor, using a template to check if there are items there or not. BUT, never tried it. If you look at exposed entities and services, it is missing general info on state.
I have been using the shopping list integration. I set up a custom Alexa skill to allow the family to add items and it works great. But, I find it really annoying that the integration does not refresh Lovelace cards when an item is added. It would also be nice if there was a way to tell how many items were on the list so that you could notify yourself at the grocery store only if there were items on the list.

Thank you! Unfortunately, at this point no. If you try and do that, it would add to Google Assistant shopping list which doesn't sync in Home Assistant.
Hi @BeardedTinker, Since the update to Shopping List to now being ToDo is this still able to work? Even before the update I couldn't get the shopping list to open when I was in the shop zone. The message appeared on my mobile, and upon clicking it, Home Assistant opened but the dashboard that opened was the default, which for family acceptance, was the house lighting dashboard. Hoping you can lead me in the right direction as I appreciate this automation. Howard
@@BeardedTinker In an attempt to assist others I kept '"playing" with my version of the automation and now have it working I believe. I have now put the following in the data section of the action: clickAction: /todo?entity_id=todo.shopping_list url: /todo?entity_id=todo.shopping_list This now opens my shopping list. Not sure if this is the correct way or if there is a better syntax but it works for me.
Hey, thanks for the video. I have a question. I made a very similar notification automation that lets my girlfriend know if I'm at the grocery store and viceversa. However, the grocery store is on my way home and she's been getting notifications every time I pass by it. Is there a way in which I could trigger the notification only when I've been in the designated zone for, say, 30 seconds?
Sure, you can use time - I have few automation that wait for predefined amount of time until they are triggered. Will copy you example in a bit. Add just this at the end: for: 00:05 That way it will trigger if you are in that area for 6 minutes.
Nice automation, but I am not getting the advantage of receiving the notifications compared to the direct way of seeing the pods in the box when they are getting low.
If there are multiple people in household it's useful as everyone can receive notification and whoeever is near the shop can buy it. It's also a good philosophical question . It can be good theological question too. But for this channel it's just what we do - automate stuff 😂
@@BeardedTinker I guess it could make sense with a multi people household, but it could happen that few of them go to the shop just to buy the same thing. That aounds as an unessesery time wasting. :D It is nice to learn on these examples, but I often see people are overcoplicate the things just because for the sake of it, even it does not actually help. I guess it is fun, untill it stopps to be. :D
Exactly that 😉 I use it for toher stuff - toner for printer, some other stuff that has expire dates or number of uses but can't bee seen (mosquito repellent for example)
@@BeardedTinker it was the trigger i was battling with but i have figured it out to update the number i used the repeat service an used counter .increment and repeated it the amount of times that there are pods in the package that way if there are 5 pods left and i add a package of 30 the counter reads 35 now
And still there's still not possible to add multiple shopping lists? Like one for grocery and one for IKEA for example :P Why have they not added this yet?
You can create WTH for that - I think it's open for 1 more day. Items that get listed and receive votes could be added very soon. But, no, you are right - only one list still...
Acutally, there are already few great ideas, so you can vote for them: community.home-assistant.io/t/wth-why-cant-i-create-multiple-shopping-lists/467595 Plus other topics: community.home-assistant.io/search?q=shopping%20%23what-the-heck
Depends, for simple task no. For more complex, definitely Grocy is better. But I always joke that I should hire someone to manage Grocy if it would be used in its fullest 😂
@@BeardedTinker it's not that bad. It took us a couple of days to initially scan all the products, but after that it only takes 20 mins after each weekly shopping.
