MedAssist Update (github.com)
submitted 3 weeks ago by rambos@lemm.ee to c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

Hey guys,

its me again with medication assistant :D For anyone who never heard of MedAssist, it is selfhosted web application that tracks medication usage. It's main feature is to send e-mail remainder when it's time to reorder medication. I have received a great feedback and you all guys made me even more excited to spend time on this project. Honestly, I can't believe how many people even visited github page, thank you a lot! Some of you broke demo page which helped me find weak spots, so thx about that as well <3. I received some feature requests and bug issues via reddit, lemmy and github. I spent some time working on them and now I want to announce an update (still develop branch):

  • Possible to have Usage = 0
  • Filtered invalid characters on inputs
  • Reduced CPU/Memory usage by improving backend (hopefully no more crashes)
  • Rebuilt Upcoming Schedules (more simple and lightweight)
  • Added more styling to e-mail notifications

Demo is up and running again, feel free to try it or brake it. Fingers crossed there are not many bugs left. If it turns out it's stable enough, I'll merge develop to main branch and create latest release. Planning to add few more features in the next release. BREAKING CHANGE: Make sure you backup your database file (medication.db) and modify docker-compose Database path was changed (to achieve uniform path no matter what installation method was chosen), so make sure to update docker-compose with: volumes: - /path/to/database/directory:/app/medassist

Change to: volumes: - /path/to/database/directory:/app/database

Also change version tag to develop or v0.15.0.develop if you are using docker. Link directly to develop branch with new update: https://github.com/njic/medassist/tree/develop All suggestions are welcome and feel free to star the project on github <3 R---

I'd absolutely love this to have a home assistant hook, or even be able to run it as an add-on. Being able to issue triggers, notably Android notifications, would be perfect for my home.

Additionally, being able to track "taken" as well as record the time/date the dose was marked as such would be great!

If you need something right now, check my other github project - its home assistant version of MedAssist. Its not well documented, but you can find automations that trigger on schedule, dashboard page with preview and config page to update quantity, sending email reorder reminder, sending android critical notifictions or setting android alarms every morning for that day. I abandonded that basically as soon as MedAssist came to life, but It was working great for quite a long time. Anyway, Im quite confident this project will be able to talk to homeassistant at some point.

About tracking "taken", I need to figure how to track reliably enough to make it worth, but Ill deffo keep looking
