MakoletTime: Home Assistant Grocery List with NFC

MakoletTime is a Home Assistant project for creating visual grocery shopping lists. Instead of complicated inventory systems like Grocy, it provides a simple dashboard where household members can tap on product images to add items to the shopping list — perfect for the quick makolet (neighborhood store) run.

How It Works

• Create a shopping list containing everything you typically buy

• All items start as "complete" (in stock)

• When you run out of something, tap the picture to add it to the list

• Anyone in the household can do this from any device

• Take the list to the makolet when shopping

Features

• Visual grid dashboard with product images (200x200px)

• Custom button cards using the Button Card plugin by RomRider

• NFC tag support — stick a tag on your fridge to jump straight to the dashboard

• One-tap add/remove items from the shopping list

• Reset views for marking all items purchased or clearing the list

Setup

• Requires Home Assistant OS

• Install Button Card custom component from HACS

• Configure the Shopping List add-on

• Optional: Add NFC tag to your fridge linking to the dashboard
