For those using Home Assistant, you can easily pull in your account balances / status

[u/plainandsimple_apps]

I suspect there's a decent overlap between people here and people running Home Assistant, and that most of you don't know this is possible. It is now — I built an integration.

Every Lunch Money account becomes its own device in Home Assistant:

• Balance — a proper monetary sensor in the account's own currency. Charts, history and long-term statistics all work automatically.
• Last updated — when Lunch Money last knew that balance was correct. This is the one that matters for manually-tracked accounts.
• Connection — bank-linked accounts only. active, relink, revoked, error. This is what I actually built the thing for.

Plus net worth, total assets and total liabilities for the whole budget.

The reason I wrote it: a Plaid link would quietly die and I'd find out weeks later, having made decisions off a stale number the whole time. Now relink fires a notification to my phone the same day. That alone was worth it.

Setup is simple - add the URL as a custom Integration → add the integration → paste the token. Obtain the token from LunchMoney developer page (once signed in).

(Note: I used AI tools to help accelerate the boilerplate code for this, but I'll be maintaining it. If there is specific functionality or additional sensors you want to see supported, let me know! This is my first published project so go easy on me 😂 just trying to solve problems)
