Bring!

The Bring! integration allows you to interact with your Bring! shopping lists within Home Assistant.

For authentication, the integration requires the email and password you used for your Bring! account. If you want to automatically receive notifications via the Bring! app when Home Assistant adds or removes an item from the list, you should use a dedicated account (such as email: your.name+ha@gmail.com) to connect Home Assistant with Bring!.

Configuration

To add the Bring! service to your Home Assistant instance, use this My button:

Manual configuration steps

If the above My button doesn’t work, you can also perform the following steps manually:

Sensors

  • Urgent: Shows the number of items tagged with the Urgent badge on the shopping list. Completed items are excluded.
  • On occasion: Displays the count of items marked with the If convenient badge.
  • Discount only: Indicates the number of items tagged with the Offer badge.
  • Region & Language: The sensor can be used for diagnostics. If everything is set correctly, it will display the selected region for the shopping list. If it shows Unknown, the region has not been set properly in the Bring! app.
  • List access: Indicates whether the shopping list is personal (private) or shared (accessible to others).

Actions

You can use the actions from the to-do list to create, update, or delete items on your Bring! shopping lists.
