I was thinking about building device as well. I wouldn’t mind adding webhooks, or maybe even home assistant integration. I would need to know more about device itself to find the way to do it tho.
Do you have in mind ideal device and workflow? I’m interested also in 3D modeling and 3D printing, but I’m not sure what kind of device is best for that use case yet. I don’t know anything better than using phone alarm as reminder, but feels like dedicated device could fill that role perfectly. Phone alarm doesn’t require internet connection, its quite stable and you always have it with you, its hard to beat that lol.
Btw, before device comes to life, this app might help already! At least you can check if your dad took meds, by counting how many left and comparing that with number in MedAssist.
If you need something right now, check my other github project - its home assistant version of MedAssist. Its not well documented, but you can find automations that trigger on schedule, dashboard page with preview and config page to update quantity, sending email reorder reminder, sending android critical notifictions or setting android alarms every morning for that day. I abandonded that basically as soon as MedAssist came to life, but It was working great for quite a long time. Anyway, Im quite confident this project will be able to talk to homeassistant at some point.
About tracking “taken”, I need to figure how to track reliably enough to make it worth, but Ill deffo keep looking
