Your family, on the smart-home dashboard

A calendar for every family member

Each person gets their own calendar in Home Assistant, alongside one for the whole family and one for the meal plan. Show just the kids' events on the kitchen screen, or everyone's, by toggling calendars on the card. Add an event from Home Assistant and it's on everyone's phone.

• A calendar for each person, in their FamFam colour
• A family calendar and a meal-plan calendar
• Add, edit and delete one-off events from Home Assistant

Who's home for dinner, as a sensor

FamFam's dinner check-in becomes something your house can act on. Everyone gets a “Home for dinner” sensor, and there's a headcount for tonight, so an automation can chase up the stragglers at four o'clock or read out the menu on the kitchen speaker.

• A home-for-dinner sensor for each person
• Tonight's meal and headcount, guests included
• A sensor that turns on once everyone has answered
• Check people in from a dashboard button or a script

Lists and shopping trips

Every FamFam list shows up as a Home Assistant to-do list, so you can add to the groceries from the dashboard or ask Assist to do it. A “Heading to the shops” button lets the family know you're going, just like it does in the app.

• Each list as a to-do list, aisle categories included
• Item counts for a “the list is getting long” nudge
• Heading to the shops button (FamFam Plus)

Ready-made automations

Six blueprints get you going without writing any YAML:

• Nudge whoever hasn't checked in for dinner yet
• Announce tonight's dinner and how many are eating
• Start a shopping trip when someone arrives at the shops
• Announce a trip, with a notification reply that adds an item to the list
• Get a heads-up when a list is getting long
• Send a notification or colour a light when there's an event tomorrow

Set up in a few minutes

Add FamFam to HACS as a custom repository, install it, then add the FamFam integration in Home Assistant. In the FamFam app, an organiser creates a token under Settings → Your Family → Connected services and pastes it in. One token covers the whole family, with no per-person passwords.

Revoke the token in the app at any time and Home Assistant loses access within a minute or so.
