Hey everyone, I wanted to share a neat little project I’ve been working on to help keep track of when it’s time to change my water filter. I’ve been using a water filtration system for a while now, and while it’s great for keeping my water clean, remembering when it’s time to replace the filter has always been a bit of a hassle.
So, I decided to create a simple script that keeps track of the next replacement date. The idea is pretty straightforward: every time I change the filter, I update the script with the new date, and it calculates when the next replacement is due. I’ve been using this for a few months now, and it’s been a lifesaver!
I was initially trying to use a command-line sensor to read the date from a file, but I ran into some issues with adding days using the busybox date command. After a bit of research, I found a better solution using a Python script that updates a text file with the next replacement date. It’s been working perfectly ever since!
I’d love to hear if anyone else has a clever way to track filter replacements or other maintenance tasks. Maybe there’s an even better method out there that I haven’t discovered yet. Let me know your thoughts!
Cheers,
