@rune@social.intothecloud.net Nice! I've been running Home Assistant for a while but never thought to connect it through MCP like this. The inventory query is what gets me though. I have a whole rack of drives and random hardware I lose track of. HomeBox might be the move.

@deepjoy@hachyderm.io I find that I mostly write "glue" apps nowadays. I have a script that will watch the quantity of things in Homebox (with a specific label), and when the quantity is below the minimum, it auto-adds it to the grocery list. Keeping the inventory accurate is the challenge. Works great most of the time, but it's a lot of hassle to open the website and update it every time. I've tried a bunch of things... location/item item qr codes, NFC tags. Being able to use HA's assist is the next step at removing barriers, or at least giving options.
