Question is fine, I get added value from HA, but still probably overkill or maybe even bad idea :D time will tell…
I am using alarms as medication reminders at the moment and it is working fine of course, but I wanted something more advanced due to very complex medication schedule. I tried google calendars and tasks, but it is pain to manage that with not much benefit. I also tried some other android medication reminders and some of them are almost perfect, but I guess I became quite demanding. I don’t have a knowledge to create android app or anything that works standalone and I had homeassistant running some simple automations already on home server.
So probably not the best approach but I couldn’t think of any better (for now) to get these features (mostly working, but still work in progress):
Pill counter - it counts down pills so I can see how many I should have (also to confirm I took a pill in case I forgot - happens sometimes)
Pill reminder - Android Alarm or Home Assistant android app notifications (notifications work fine, but kinda useless without internet)
Reorder reminder - e-mail notification if it’s time to reorder
Nice overview in dashboard
Feature 2 seems easy, but creating alarm every 2 days already involves tasks/reminders or some other app. I’m trying out this thing with home assistant and google clock on android and it looks promising. Will look for more alternatives like calendar at one point. Even like this, server can send alarm commands every morning for whole day, but would be nice to make schedule in case I lose connection to my server for more than 1 day or something.
