Configuration Entities

A handful of TaskMate's most useful settings are also exposed as standard Home Assistant number and select entities. This lets you read or change them straight from the HA UI, or from an automation or script, without going through the Admin Panel or a service call.

These entities and the Admin Panel are two views of the same stored settings — change one and the other updates to match.

Number Entities

Entity	Friendly name	Range	Step	Default	Controls
number.taskmate_weekend_multiplier	Weekend multiplier	1.0–5.0	0.5	2.0	Multiplier applied to chore points on Saturday and Sunday. Set 1.0 to disable. See Bonus Points.
number.taskmate_perfect_week_bonus	Perfect week bonus	0–1000	1	50	Points awarded to a child who completes at least one chore every day Mon–Sun. See Bonus Points.

Select Entities

Entity	Friendly name	Options	Default	Controls
select.taskmate_streak_reset_mode	Streak reset mode	reset, pause	reset	What happens when a child misses a day. reset: the streak goes back to 0. pause: the streak freezes and resumes on the next completion.
select.taskmate_card_design	Card design	classic, playroom, console, cleanpro	classic	The global default visual style for TaskMate cards. See Card Design Styles.

The entity IDs above use each setting's translation key. If you've renamed entities in Home Assistant, your IDs may differ — look them up under Settings → Devices & services → Entities and filter by the TaskMate device.

Changing Them

From the UI

Add the entities to a dashboard (for example with an Entities card) and adjust them directly — slide the number, or pick from the dropdown. Changes save immediately and are reflected in the Admin Panel settings.

From an automation

Because they're ordinary entities, you can drive them from automations. For example, raise the weekend multiplier during a school-holiday week:

alias: TaskMate — Holiday week double points
triggers:
  - trigger: state
    entity_id: calendar.school_holidays
    to: "on"
actions:
  - action: number.set_value
    target:
      entity_id: number.taskmate_weekend_multiplier
    data:
      value: 2.0

Or switch every card to the playroom style for younger users:

actions:
  - action: select.select_option
    target:
      entity_id: select.taskmate_card_design
    data:
      option: playroom
