Thanks for the link… I’ll check this out soon

What are you using to track/control the screentime?

Ya, I’m not going back, I wrestled with deleting my content or not for weeks. Decided last night to wipe my history and today I deleted my 12yo account.

Good riddance, not gonna browse in any fashion logged in or not. No clicks from me.

My reddit average daily traffic dropped 100% 😀

I hear a weekend project brewing :)

I do this and even have a card on my tablet/dashboard with how many days left on the filter! Tag is down on the furnace.

I ran across a yt video that lead me to this page. I took the info/ideas here and built my kid chore system. With a dashboard that tracks what he did and total points that is tied to his allowance. Built in some anti-gaming stuff by day/time locking some things. He can only collect most trash cans on trash night. He can only empty the dishwasher once a day etc…

One cool thing, when he scans the trash cans to bring them in. If it’s on trash day and between x-ypm it opens the garage door for him.

He’s at camp this week so they’re now my chores <sigh>

I’m tracking my HVAC filter and rest it’s 90days with an NFC tag

Loosely followed an online how-to to create a tracking chore list using NFC tags for my son’s allowance. Automations to nag him on trash night to gather/take out the trash.

A simple Automation that turns on a fan in the basement when the outside temp is above out AC setting to help distribute cool basement air.

Outside security lights on/off at dusk/dawn

House auto arms/disarms (Alarmo) when everyone leaves or someone arrives (via life 360 integration)

On trash day, after noon if my son scans (NFC) one of the trash cans, the garage door opens to let him in/put them away.

My son gets a notification when he comes home from school if we got mail (aka the mailbox was opened that day)

Those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head.
