Does anyone know of a simpler chore tracker than Grocy? I essentialy just want reminders for recurring tasks like rinsing heat pump filters, oiling wooden work surfaces etc.

Grocy seems like overkill for that, but maybe it's the easiest option?

If you really want simple and time is your only variable, HomeAssistant now has a calendar function built in. The advantage here is that you can build automations with it; flash the lights, send a notification, display a value on a card, etc.

What I love about Grocy is that it works with NFC tags. Once the chores are setup initially all it takes is to scan the tag and it gets marked done. I added a notification that's read aloud on the speakers in the house for positive reinforcement

That's very cool, I'll have to test the WAF with NFC 😅
