Freezer contents 🥶🗓️👨🏼🍳🍽️ #290
Description
Objective
Food gets put in the freezer and often forgotten about. Now I have a solid meal planner solution running over at https://github.com/jcallaghan/The-Cookbook/projects/10 with lots of automation like calendar integration etc. I'd like to incorporate a way to capture and display what's in the freezer. What I'm looking for is an easy way to add/remove items from some kind of list, with a way to have visibility of this over in cookbook repo and to be able to show it
| Consideration | Notes |
|---|---|
| Paper | This worked when I tried before but it's not very 21st century. |
| To Do | When I tried this it fell out-of-date very quickly so I sacked it off. |
| OneNote | Similarly to To Do this very quickly became out-of-date. |
| Grocy | I always feel I would massively benefit from running Grocy, particularly with my love of food, tracking my pantry ingredients, managing chores and maintaining a family and household wiki. It might be time to give it a go. |
| Home Assistant Shopping List integration | This feels like it is the closet to what I am looking for to maintain this list locally, the problem with the Shopping List is it is just that, a shopping list. I'd love to see a spin off where it can support multiple lists and the Lovelace card could then show all items or items just from one or many lists. I may even have a go at making this myself. The benefit with the Shopping List is that it writes the list to a json file I believe which could then be accessed and potentially I could automating syncing this with my cookbook repo. It also means that I could show it on the Home Assistant tablet we have in our kitchen. |
| eInk display | Placing an eInk close to the freezer would help with visibility and to promote updating the list as things are added or removed. |
