To-do list - Spook 👻 a scary powerful toolbox for Home Assistant.

The to-do list integration brings shopping lists and to-do lists into Home Assistant: the local one, the shopping list, and those of other services.

A list that can be reordered is reordered by dragging an item in the interface, and that is the only way. Spook adds the action, so an automation can put the most urgent thing at the top.

Devices & entities¶

Spook does not provide any new devices or entities for this integration.

Actions¶

Spook adds the following new actions to your Home Assistant instance:

Move item¶

Move an item in a to-do list to the top, the bottom, or after another item.

Open your Home Assistant instance and show the Actions tool with a specific action selected.

Action properties
Action	To-do list: Move item 👻
Action name	`todo.move_item`
Action targets	Yes, `todo` entities that can be reordered
Action response	No response
Spook's influence	Added action
Tools	Try this action

Action data parameters
Attribute	Type	Required	Default / Example
`item`	string	Yes	Take out the bins
`after`	string	No, but this or `position`	Do the dishes
`position`	string	No, but this or `after`	`top` or `bottom`

The item, and the item to put it after, are found by their title or their uid, the same way todo.update_item finds an item.

Example action in YAML

Rain is coming, so the bins go first:

1
2
3
4
5
6
action: todo.move_item
target:
  entity_id: todo.chores
data:
  item: Take out the bins
  position: top

Known limitations

Only lists that can be reordered can be targeted. Some lists keep their items in an order of their own, like one sorted by due date.
An item that is not in the list, or a place after an item that is not, is an error, the same as for todo.update_item. So is moving an item after itself.

Repairs¶

Spook has no repair detections for this integration.
