Set up in just a few minutes and bring gamification into everyday family life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For detailed instructions and explanations of all configuration options, I recommend watching the YouTube video linked below. This video goes into detail about each individual setting, providing you with comprehensive instructions on how to set everything up correctly.

The advantage: tasks that would otherwise be boring or tedious are suddenly fun and encourage motivation, personal responsibility and a competitive spirit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is exactly where KidsChores comes in: Your child receives points for completed tasks, can \"buy\" rewards or earn badges - just like in a game, but with real benefits for everyday life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-was-ist-kidschores\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Was_ist_KidsChores\"><\/span>What is KidsChores?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">KidsChores is a <strong>Custom integration for Home Assistant<\/strong>which allows you to organize, track and reward chores for your children. It creates sensors and entities for tasks, rewards and approvals and can be used completely locally - i.e. without the cloud. All data stays with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sascha-brockel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/KidsChores-Dashboard.avif\"><img data-dominant-color=\"f67f7f\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #f67f7f;\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1788\" height=\"827\" src=\"https:\/\/sascha-brockel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/KidsChores-Dashboard.avif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2583 not-transparent\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sascha-brockel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/KidsChores-Dashboard.avif 1788w, https:\/\/sascha-brockel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/KidsChores-Dashboard-300x139.avif 300w, https:\/\/sascha-brockel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/KidsChores-Dashboard-768x355.avif 768w, https:\/\/sascha-brockel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/KidsChores-Dashboard-1536x710.avif 1536w, https:\/\/sascha-brockel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/KidsChores-Dashboard-18x8.avif 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-funktionen-im-uberblick\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Funktionen_im_Uberblick\"><\/span>Functions at a glance<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Define tasks (chores)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Create as many tasks as you like, e.g. \"Tidy your room\", \"Set the table\" or \"Fold the laundry\". Each task is assigned points. Your children see these tasks in their own dashboard and can \"claim\" them - i.e. submit them for approval - once they have been completed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83e\udde0 Example: Take out the trash every Tuesday = 10 points<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2705 Approval system<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a parent, you can approve or reject tasks at the touch of a button. You can do this via the Lovelace dashboard, your smartphone or even a smartwatch. Only approved tasks earn points!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2705 Points system &amp; currencies<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Define your own currencies: Stars, coins, hearts or emojis - you decide what your child collects. The points are freely adjustable and scalable - whether 5 or 500 per task.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udca1 Example: 100 stars = 1 visit to the cinema<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2705 Rewards system (Rewards)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Points can be exchanged for rewards. These are also fully configurable. The reward can be a physical item (e.g. a toy) or an activity (e.g. 1 hour of screen time).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udce6 Example: \"1x ice cream\" for 30 points<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2705 Shared choirs<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tasks can be assigned to several children at the same time. As soon as one of the children takes over and completes the task, it is marked as done for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83e\uddf9 Example: \"Clean up the playroom\" - whoever comes first gets the points!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Recurring tasks<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">KidsChores supports daily, weekly or monthly repetitions.

The installation and integration is described in detail there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Open your Home Assistant UI. Navigate to <em>Settings &gt; Dashboards &gt; Create new dashboard<\/em>.

It was developed to provide a unified user interface and simple, flexible control for a wide range of smart home devices from different ecosystems. Here are some points in favor of Home Assistant:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Compatibility<\/strong>Home Assistant supports thousands of devices and services from various manufacturers, including lighting, air conditioning, heating, cameras, weather sensors, voice assistants and more.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Local control<\/strong>Unlike many commercial smart home platforms that rely on cloud services, Home Assistant runs locally on your network. This means increased privacy and reliability, as your smart home devices work even without an active internet connection.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Automation and scenes<\/strong>One of the main features of Home Assistant is the ability to create complex automations and scenarios. For example, you can have lights turn on automatically when it gets dark, or turn on the heating when the temperature drops below a certain level.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Simple user interface<\/strong>Home Assistant offers a user-friendly interface that makes it easy to monitor and control devices. This interface is fully customizable.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Integration with voice assistants<\/strong>Home Assistant can be integrated with voice assistants such as Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant to enable voice-controlled control of your smart home devices.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Open source and community-driven<\/strong>Since Home Assistant is open source, it is supported by an active community that is constantly developing new integrations and improving existing ones.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Data protection and security<\/strong>As a locally running platform, Home Assistant has the advantage that the data remains within its own network. This protects privacy and increases security compared to cloud-based solutions.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In summary, Home Assistant is a powerful and flexible solution for those who want to design their own smart home and control their devices centrally, regardless of the manufacturer or ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-installation-von-hacs-und-integration-von-kidschores-in-home-assistant\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Installation_von_HACS_und_Integration_von_KidsChores_in_Home_Assistant\"><\/span>Installation of HACS and integration of KidsChores in Home Assistant<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Schritt_1_Installation_von_HACS_in_Home_Assistant\"><\/span>Step 1: Installing HACS in Home Assistant<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Home Assistant Community Store (HACS)<\/strong> is a custom add-on for Home Assistant that provides access to a variety of custom integrations and plugins developed by the community.
