Walled gardens suck, so I built this for audiobooks and kid-story podcasts for my kids. No tonies for us, and my kids have way more control over what they listen to. Same base setup with the reader, just different media sources and player targets.

I like knowing my daily production and keeping that on my mushroom dashboard. That’s not an ootb metric on my SolarEdge system, but lifetime energy is. So I have an automation that records the total each night into a helper, and a Mushroom Template Chip card that does the math for me. It’s simple but it does the job.
