Weekly Digest
The weekly digest is a Sunday-evening summary sent to parents recapping each child's week. It turns a week of activity into a single at-a-glance message.
Added in v4.0.0.
The digest lists one line per child showing how many chores they completed and how many points they earned over the week:
TaskMate weekly digest:
• Alex: 5 chores, 50 Stars earned
• Mia: 3 chores, 30 Stars earned
Counts are built from approved chore completions since the start of the current week (Monday). The points figure is the points awarded by those completions. Bonus subtask completions and pending (unapproved) completions are excluded, and only the current week is counted. The points label follows your configured points name (e.g. "Stars").
If there are no children, no digest is sent.
- The digest fires on Sundays at 18:00 (local time).
- Internally a check runs daily at 18:00 and only sends on Sundays — no separate automation is required.
The digest has the parent audience. It is delivered through the standard notification system, so it goes to the parent recipients you have enabled for the Weekly digest type in the recipient routing matrix, plus the usual persistent notification in Home Assistant.
The weekly digest is a built-in notification type (weekly_digest) and is off by default.
- Open the Admin Panel → Notifications tab.
- Enable the Weekly digest type's master toggle.
- In the recipient routing matrix, enable it for each parent recipient who should receive it.
You can verify routing without waiting for Sunday by using Send test on the Weekly digest row (see Notifications — Testing a Notification).
The matching taskmate_weekly_digest bus event carries the rendered summary and the recipients list — see Automations.
