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 looked up grocy last month, it appears to be an extremely capable platform.

However- for simple notifications- just create a simple automation to send you a push message or email on your phone.

Its simple, and stupid, but, should get the job done. Swipe it away when completed!

I regret not doing that, it took a lot of dicking around to get Grocy set up like I wanted.

The good thing in Grocy is the UI, at least anyone in the family can manage the chores, since they're all a scrambling to do that right guys? Right? Guys...

But- hey, its a full-blown ERP system!

I was honestly extremely surprised at the level of depth it offered for tracking things around you house. I didn't ever give it a try- because... well, convincing my wife to maintain shopping and inventory lists in there, wouldn't fly over very well.
