An automation that Actually helps you SAVE MONEY? | Final Chapter

[@rslbrg]

It's been a while since I've watched much KZbin. Happened to open KZbin tonight and saw your latest video. Caught my eye because I am a lazy user of Home Assistant and have been watching my budget with YNAB, recently looked at Actual Budget as an alternative, and have both a professional and personal interest in AI. These things coupled with remembering how much I enjoyed your videos in the past made me back up and find the other two videos leading into this one. Your subject matter is right up my alley....waaaay above my head...but I'm in the realm where I can follow along and appreciate all the tech involved. That said...I just had to drop you a comment because I LOVE your humor and cinematography. You present a lot of great information and you do it with interesting shots and laying out a story in an easy to follow and entertaining way. There is always something in your videos that causes me to chuckle out loud. Unga bunga! Just dropping you this note to let you know I really enjoy your videos. Now I'm going to have to go back to where I left off and get caught up on your back catalog! Keep up the awesome content!

Loved this series! I was also thinking about pairing budgeting with ai in home Assistant, but I really appreciate the exposure to your entire thought process from idea to execution. I was thinking of starting smaller, like a calendar overview with ai, maybe trying to mix in work applications to see if I could be more productive. Keep em coming!

Hey thanks for the compliment! I’m glad you enjoyed the video! Was there something specific that made this video stand out to you to watch?

Awesome work! Glad you got it working. Only when I read your blog I figured out that it was like a failed login type message you get sometimes from home assistant and you wern't actually being hacked. :) Im going to do something similar. But I think the easiest way if your bank has it, set up transaction email notifications. I do the same for when a package arrives and home assistant reads my emails. :D

Thank you and I’m glad you like the video! The transaction email notification sounds like a cool work around. How is it like using it with your finances?

I can't believe millennials don't know their cash-book balance on a daily basis - what are they teaching them these days?
