🛒 ICA Shopping – Home Assistant Integration

Sync your ICA shopping lists with Home Assistant and your shopping/todo list in HA.

This also works with Google Keep, which means you can add items to your shopping list using Google Assistant (voice) and have them automatically synced to your ICA shopping list

Limitations at the Moment

Polling Interval (Google Keep):
While changes made in Home Assistant are instantly reflected in Google Keep, the reverse is not immediate.
The integration polls Google Keep for updates every 15 minutes.
Changes made directly in Google Keep will appear in Home Assistant after the next polling cycle. Read more about the limitations here.

ICA API:
Changes made to your ICA shopping list (e.g. via the ICA app or website) will not appear immediately in Home Assistant.
The integration does not support real-time updates, so you’ll need to manually trigger a refresh to fetch the latest version of the list.

Installation via HACS

Add Custom Repository:

Open HACS in Home Assistant. Click on the ... in the top right corner and select Custom repositories. Add the URL https://github.com/mellamomax/ica_shopping/ Set the category to Integration and click Add. Download the Integration and restart Home Assistant.

Example Automation (ICA Refresh)

Since ICA does not push updates, you can refresh the list every X minutes:

automation:
  - alias: "Sync ICA List Every 10 Minutes"
    trigger:
      - platform: time_pattern
        minutes: "/10"
    action:
      - service: ica_shopping.refresh

You can also create an automation that refreshes the list when you enter or leave a store. This only works for ICA stores you've added as zones in Home Assistant. Purchases made in other locations won't trigger any update.

alias: Ica shopping update
description: ""
triggers:
  - trigger: zone
    entity_id: device_tracker.max
    zone: zone.ica
    event: leave
  - trigger: zone
    entity_id: device_tracker.max
    zone: zone.ica
    event: enter
conditions: []
actions:
  - action: ica_shopping.refresh
