With the release of 2023.8 I noticed there is built-in shopping list functionality in HA. Up to now at home we have been using Alexa’s shopping list (we have an old echo in the kitchen so it’s been practical). My question: is there a way to somehow have the Echo’s/alexa’s shopping list feature to manage HA’s shopping list by default? I recall from ages ago that there were Alexa skills like todoist that could take over the shopping list in the echo, is there anything equivalent from the HA community?
Don’t think so, last I checked you could only use commercial voice assistants to add to your shopping list via an app like ifttt. Details here.
Yes there’s a script you can use to do it. Search it on the home assistant forums. Not easy to set up but it works.
Thanks all for the tips on this. I will explore the IFTTT + todoist route that seems to be the only current option to get the Alexa/echo shopping list integrated with HA’s
