A concept of "Item Logs / Events"

[kevinb0]

What is the problem you are trying to solve with this feature?

I use tools for work, and HomeBox is a great way to keep track of where they are - I would like to keep track of when and where they were used. This would allow me to:

• Log the usage of multiple items to an event, so I can determine which tools I used the most
• If I lost a tool, I know the last time I "used" it, with associated data of when and where it was used
• Eventually, we could come up with cool diagnostics of usage and tie it into automations. ie "every 5th time something is used", automatically schedule maintaince.

What is the solution you are proposing?

• A new UI element called "Log Event/Usage/etc", where could associate multiple items with a descriptor, along with a time/date.
• A new UI to view all events
• A new item field for "Events/Usage", where it would link to that event - and a total count of events.
• Hooks into the maintenance notifier system, so after X events, automations can happen

What alternatives have you considered?

Technically the Maintence UI could work for this, but I like the concept of having "Events", separate from "Maintence", and a bit more generic could be useful.
