barcodebuddy VS grocy-desktop

Not using them personally, but I guess Barcode Buddy and Grocy Android both do exactly that (and more).

I suppose you could see how grocy handles barcodes, https://github.com/Forceu/barcodebuddy

You can additionally install barcode buddy on a raspberry pi with an attached bluetooth barcode scanner to track the chores, by just scanning a custom barcode. In my experience it's the easiest and fastest way, aside from dedicated buttons, which would cost too much.

See maybe there or here or also have a look at Barcode Buddy.

It looks like at least one provider (OpenFoodFacts) provides a language tag, but BarcodeBuddy isn't doing anything with it. I would suggest opening an issue with the feature request: https://github.com/Forceu/barcodebuddy/issues

At the moment Barcode Buddy Federation is probably the closest existing solution - if you are using Barcode Buddy and enable Federation, you can lookup barcodes and receive the Grocy product name that other users have associated with this barcode.

for anyone coming to this thread in order to find a solution. The problem was a bug in the barcode buddy grabinput script (see https://github.com/Forceu/barcodebuddy/issues/170) . After fixing this everythins works as it should.

yeah, a mqtt integration would be a dream. I opened a feature request for barcode buddy but the maintainer has no time at the moment see: https://github.com/Forceu/barcodebuddy/issues/164

That said, if you're using Barcode Buddy, it looks like it can auto-populate fields for scanned items?

Double post of grocy/grocy-desktop#42.

Latest grocy-desktop (desktop application wrapper) release: https://github.com/grocy/grocy-desktop/releases/tag/v2.2.0

Guessing you're referring to grocy-desktop.

(Screenshots and specific error information can be found in my initial bug report on Github, if that's helpful. Imgur won't let me sign up for some reason, I'm sorry for the inconvenience.)

Can only say something about grocy-desktop:

About grocy-desktop: It's basically just a web server and a web browser, so works with any version of grocy (of course there could be for example missing PHP extensions or something at some point in time). So far, grocy-desktop was always updated at the same day for any new major or minor grocy release, when I look at the release history. grocy can also be updated independently (all that is also mentioned in the projects README).

Already mentioned here or there or on many other places when you search for it, CefSharp is pretty widely used in many applications...

Here is link number 1 - Previous text "#33"

That's true, sorry - I forgot that grocy-desktop auto manages the needed config.php settings and therefore overwrites the file on start (happens here).
