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.

@rune@social.intothecloud.net Glue apps is exactly the right word for it. The accuracy problem is real. I know if I set something like that up for my hardware I'd fall behind on updating it within a week. HA assist might actually be the trick though.
