It has 112 installs sharing analytics, works locally and was last updated October 26, 2026. TaskMate is a Home Assistant integration for family chore management, rewards, and streak tracking. Chores are assigned to children with point values and schedules, and those marked as requiring approval wait in a pending queue until a parent approves them. Children claim rewards with their points, and points are deducted only after a parent approves the claim. It adds actions for adding or removing points, applying penalties, and undoing approvals or transactions, plus entities such as calendars, to-do lists, sensors, and numbers for the weekend multiplier and the weekly bonus. It works locally, keeps data inside Home Assistant, and is set up in the UI by choosing a points name and icon. Automatic summary of the README and code of tempus2016/taskmate.
