Any idea for a self hosted home maintenance reminder system? Essentially something that will have reminders for things that reoccur regularly either ie yearly, monthly etc. Ideally it would have some way of checking it off to show the task was completed and then it would reoccur at the preset time next month /year etc.

I use chore-helper for Home Assistant for that. I chose it because I like the "after x days" vs. the classic "every x days" approach. If I forgot to clean the shower for over a week there is no point to have a reminder the next day after I finally did it, but I want it to happen x days later no matter how long I dragged the previous task.

It hasn't received updates in ages though and can be quite slow and complicated to manage. I want to have a look in ChoreOps to replace it.

Thats an excellent feature, thanks for the suggestion!

I was going to say there are multiple addons for home assistant for this problem. I think even more than you listed here, HACS is in desperate need of some kind of organization system.
