I’m looking for a task planner app or feature that integrates with Homey dashboard and supports advanced repeat options. While most planners can handle regular recurring tasks (e.g., every 2 weeks), I’m searching for something with an additional capability:
I need tasks that repeat only after confirmation. For example:
A task appears (e.g., “Check solar installation”).
Once I confirm it as completed, it schedules itself to reappear after a specified number of days (e.g., 10 days later).
Here are some examples of tasks I’d like to manage with this feature:
Maintain the vacuum cleaner (e.g., after confirming, remind me again in 30 days).
Check solar installation performance (repeat 10 days after the last check).
Aquarium water change (repeat 14 days after completion).
This feature would be incredibly useful for flexible scheduling scenarios where regular intervals don’t always apply.
Does anyone know of an app or workaround in Homey that can achieve this? I’ve implemented this on my own in iobroker, but now moving to homey, I was hoping I don’t have program it manually.
This is how it looked like in my iobroker:
What do you want Homey to do exactly?
Display the tasks? Or do you want to confirm task from homey and have them auto repeat?
Why not have your iobroker interact with homey with webhooks?
I am replacing my iobroker with homey, so at the end I want to take it down
It should integrate into homey Dashboard, I want to replace my dashboard with the homey dashboard.
But I see where your question leads - Homey should better only be a broker and not a specific purpose app itself.
Then what I am looking for is a 3rd party app that has those repeat options and is already integrated into homey in a way that it displays the tasks and you can confirm them from homey dashboard.
This workaround is a little bit primitive but might be sufficient for now.
Create per task a virtual device and a variable ‘Check solar installation performance’
When the device is turned off the variable is set to 20 (days) and the new due date is calculated.
At midnight the variable is lowered 1
When the variable is 1 then device is turned on.
Every day at 8:00 and when the device is turned on a reminder is send to the timeline.
Nice idea, very creative. The only thing thats a bit “fiddling” is that adding or editing a chore is not straight forward. But as they do not change that often, I might give it a try. This might even be a feature, so my wife can’t just add chores
