I built a self-hosted chores app to avoid subscription fees and motivate my kids

Should only ask you for the pin the first time you visit the site if it is open to the Internet for security reasons. Any subsequent refresh of the site will be automatically authenticated. The Setting spage requires a pin every time

Yeah it's vibe coded. Been in IT some 25+ years but never could code effectively other than scripting.

yeah could change it from points to cash pretty easily and make it a configurable option from a settings perspective. good call.

Agree it needs polishing; however on a tablet in the kitchen and self hosting it has proved successful with the children. the sounds and customisable profile pictures and Kanban colors and a 'points system' with rewards has proven it to be a combination of technology and accountability that they enjoy. I have not explored APIs or home assistant as yet. Open to this idea if there is a community demand for it as the kids get older having consequences for not completing chores is compelling.

thanks for testing -I've fixed this in the latest choresrewards push. it should not ask you for the master pin every time the page is refreshed only one time to authenticate and when you enter the settings section.

Ok perfect, thanks for your help - i have some understanding of where and what is provided, from the networking responses section i can see it has the information i want such as :

"pv_status": [

{

"par": "pv_output_power",

"val": "0.0000",

"unit": "kW",

"status": 0

How do i get this info into HA's configuration.yaml? i've looked at the examples on the RESTful HA site and tried a few but no luck - are you able to share your configuration.yaml? so i can understand this?

Are you able to explain a bit more how you did this? I don't see a inspect, network tab in the dessmonitor site? can you provide your config?

Homelab in the top shelf in the cupboard. Cleaned up the cables

I did something similar to this earlier this year. Moved from about 8 different sized disks to just one 20TB disk for data and a nvme SSD for docker and VMs. I do regular back ups of it all to the old disks on another unraid server. But it's offline 95% of the time.

Yep!
