It has 275 installs sharing analytics, works locally and was last updated August 12, 2026. Simple Inventory is a local integration for managing household inventories in Home Assistant. It tracks items across several inventories, with expiration dates, locations, categories, aliases, barcodes and a change history. Items can be added to a todo list automatically when stock drops to a set quantity, and removed again once restocked. Actions cover adding, updating, removing and changing item quantities, looking up items by barcode, scanning a barcode to increment or decrement, and reading consumption rates from decrement history. Sensors list expired items and items expiring soon, and an optional step installs example voice command sentences for local Assist in English. It is set up in the UI and works with a companion dashboard card. Automatic summary of the README and code of blaineventurine/simple\_inventory.
