Would be great if I could use my phone to scan barcodes, so the API querying adds products I have in my pantry. This is really useful for your first time using Grocy, since you would need to manually type each product's name.

I want to push vocal message to Alexa, do you think it possible to add URL in option who send result of scan.
Exemple if i scan the result is :
2020-03-29 17:17:40: Product found. Consuming 1 Unité of Gaufre de Liège Lotus Chocolat x5 - 259g. Barcode: 5410126812473

I want send à request like this : https://myip/Api.php?message="Consuming 1 Unité of Gaufre de Liège Lotus Chocolat x5 - 259g"

If a product is found with a very, very long name, it will essentially break the table layout entirely since the first column now takes up all space, making it very hard to access the controls.

The same applies for the select-field of a product that's already created

A bit of CSS would help limit the maximum width of the table columns, but while we're at it, it would be great if the tables would respond better to different display width and mobile views

I’m using the BarcodeBuddy API with Apple Shortcuts. My understanding is that when I want to mark an item as purchased I first need to set the mode to STATE_PURCHASED then add the barcode.

When trying to mark an item as purchased I first call the set mode API I receive a successful response.

For testing I read the mode back to check that it is set correctly. When I do this I see that I am again in mode 0 STATE_CONSUME.

Am I using the API incorrectly, or is there an issue here?

i’m using barcode buddy with a phone-barcode-scanner (calling barcodebuddy via a http request) and hacked/extended the api.inc.php and processing.inc.php files to add feedback for certain actions. in my case i want to let my personal assistant (snips) say „changed mode to add“, „cucumber added“, „water consumed“.

i wrote a function function snipsSay($text) {} that i call in processNewBarcode:

        saveLog("Set state to consume", true);
        sendWebsocketMessage("Set state to consume", $websocketEnabled);
        snipsSay('Bestand Verbrauch');

it’s not to hard to add my code after each release of barcodebuddy, but i was wondering if there could be a more general approach for that. you just extended processing.inc.php for websocket messages, someone else might like to send a http request to a buzzer or other text to speech systems.

any idea for a general approach or extensibility without making to much of a fuzz?

Hello there,
Great to see Open Food Facts used :-)
Would you join the OFF slack ? https://slack.openfoodfacts.org

It would be great to let users expand Open Food Facts by contributing photos :-)
cheers,
Pierre

Would it be possible to have all of the options in each row fit into the table?
In capture as you can see it is not possible to clic create or delete

I have barcode buddy running, as well as grocy. In the settings pane I can see

Successfully connected to Grocy, valid API key.

and

Websocket server is running.

So hopefully my install is all good.

I'd like to be able to scan the barcodes using my phone, is this possible?

To be implemented in one of the next versions.

Hi there,

BB Screen is Connected however stays on "Waiting for barcode..." when I scan something with my bluetooth scanner in HID (keyboard input) mode on my Raspberry Pi running Rasbian and Chromium.
The scanner is working correctly as I can choose "Add barcode" on the main screen and it will input the barcodes into the resulting text box.

Am I doing something wrong? Thanks..

Happens when unknown barcode is scanned

Hi and thank you for this cool addon!

When creating a product in grocy, you have the option to specify a purchase quantity unit as well as a stock quantity unit. You can also specify a factor that gets applied when you use Grocy's web UI.
This is useful for example to have a carton of eggs as a barcode and scanning it will add 6 eggs, but when consuming you want to consume one egg at a time.

The api exposes this factor as qu_factor_purchase_to_stock. It would be cool if Barcode Buddy could respect this factor when in "Add" mode. Currently, one item of stock is added, regardless of the value of this factor.

Hi, first of all, thanks for developing this!

I have tried to use the Android App, but I was unable to make it work.

First issue was that sanning the QR Code shown an error stating: Invalid QR Code, no setup info found.
I was expecting this to auto-configure the app (setting API URL, protocol, port, and key) as it is can be guess from the documentation, however it seems it only provides the API Key.

After that, the "CONNECT" button was shown.
I would expect some help to understand what I was supposed to type there, but I've tried entering the API URL but two more errors occurred:

If an HTTP URL was entered, it failed stating that "cleartext communications not permitted by network security policy".

If an HTTPS URL was entered, it failed stating that "Trust anchor for certification path not found".
I'm using a self-signed certificate and CA is properly installed on Android device.

Hope this helps to improve the app and make it more usable.

Thanks in advance!

Problem with OFF. Will look at it later in a couple of days.

Hello,

I was wondering if it is possible to add a major store-chain of my country.

I've done some digging with insomnia and got to this :

https://cogomw.colruyt.be/cogomw/rest/nl/8/articles/search.json?barcode=5400141398380&oAuth=<oAuth_token>

and it would return:
{ "params": [ { "string": "barcode", "string-array": [ "5400141398380" ] }, { "string": "service", "string-array": [ "search" ] }, { "string": "languageCode", "string-array": [ "nl" ] }, { "string": "oAuth", "string-array": [ "<oAuth-token>" ] }, { "string": "version", "string-array": [ "8" ] }, { "string": "type", "string-array": [ "json" ] } ], "status": { "code": 0, "meaning": "SUCCESS" }, "data": { "@class": "colruyt.cogomw.bo.ArticleInfo", "searchResults": [ { "colruyt.cogomw.bo.RestTreeBranch": { "id": "-1", "description": "Zoekresultaat" }, "list": [ { "id": "42681", "brand": "BONI S.", "description": "Al.pollakf. graatl.

Could this be added as a plugin ?

I'm however not that great at coding.

Thanks for reading,

XtremeCoder007

api is not found.

localhost/api takes you to grocy api.
localhost/api/ errors out on grocy api

so when entering them into barcode buddy api neither works.

barcodebuddy error while connecting gives the following error
Unable to connect to API: Could not connect to server

note: running both in docker compose to make sure they both applications are in the same network.

First of all, thank you for the amazing work on this project! It's been extremely useful for me.

I'm using the new API added in 0d7eea7 to pass expiration dates along with each barcode to BarcodeBuddy, via a script that collects input from both a barcode reader and a wireless numpad.

This works well for already associated barcodes. However, one issue I noticed is that the expiration date is dropped for unknown barcodes. In that case, my workflow ends up being: (1) scan item, (2) enter expiration date, (3) notice in BarcodeBuddy UI that barcode is unknown, (4) create new product in UI, (5) add item, (6) consume item, then (7) scan item again in order to set the expiration date correctly.

Would it be possible to store the expiration date to the db when calling the insertUnrecognizedBarcode function?

I realize this won't be perfect in the case where $amount > 1. But a reasonable solution may be to for example keep the first or last expiration date and assign to all the added items when the unrecognized barcode is resolved.

To be implemented in one of the next versions

Hello, it is possible to use API to update product database ? To Just push, the barcode, price, expiration date ?
Thank's for your answer.

On an unrelated note, I can't add the barcodes because the 'add' button is off the bottom of the page. Should I add a new issue for this? Thanks @Forceu !

Originally posted by @vorkuta in #57 (comment)

when I scan a new product that I add from Buddy, the barcode increases twice in grocy database.
if i save in grocy the double disappears.
See capture

I checked, only one code is sent to the API

In this case i use Scanner Get/Poste android APP. I not have problem every scan.
Unsucess to reproduce from webbrowser request or official Android App.

Hi,

I have grocy setup with nginx as a subdirectory and I am just starting to get Barcode Buddy setup.

Do you have any instructions available for configuring for a nginx reverse proxy alongside setting up barcode buddy in a subdirectory?

Scanning barcode: 02185705
It was identified correctly as: Garlic & herb cream cheese spread

It seems that grocy isn't handling the input correctly (and I'll open a bug there as well) but I think an option to replace special chars with '-' or something would workaround this issue easily.

I'm using Caddy as a webserver. I'm not sure where the permissions issue is, as the output doesn't make this clear, and all of /var/www/barcodebuddy has the group www-user.

Copied from Forceu/barcodebuddy-docker#5

When setting a quantity (by scanning the quantity barcode) it works perfectly when purchasing. But it would be great if that was also (optionally) applied to consuming.

Example: Parent product Egg. Child products are Egg boxes of various sizes. Adding number of eggs is easy. But I also consume eggs by box/carton, not egg by egg.

The more "normal" usecase with for example sixpack of cola - the bottles have their own barcode and the pack has its own too.

The best option would be if default quantities could be entered in the UI and also chosen if to apply by purchase and/or consume.

Hey there, I've ran into an a big showstopper using your tool - why does it not create new products even when the UPC is recognized? If I have to add all the Products manually, what's the point of Barcodebuddy recognizing the UPC but dosen't give the product any meta data like producer or something or you can't create a new product from a recognized UPC?

Is something wrong in my settings that barcodebuddy is not allowed to add new products into grocy?
Please tell me where to check if so.

As requested in Forceu/barcodebuddy-android#8, an undo feature could be implemented and an API call be added for that feature.

Hello,
I'm setting up grocy with barcodebuddy on Rancher. I have a L7 Ingress load balancer set up to pipe port 476321 to the Docker container from external port 30502, however I'm still getting a connection refused error.
Is it possible to set up TLS over WS with barcodebuddy to get around having to serve the page over HTTPS?
Thanks!

Sorry for having to bother you with another issue. When I try to run the wsserver.php via Terminal, I get the following error:

PHP Warning: Unsupported declare 'strict_types' in /volume1/web/bbuddy/incl/websocket/php-websocket/src/Connection.php on line 3

For exemple,
If I scan flour where I have defined that a unit represents 1000 grams, the addition to the stock is not done. No console error.

See b9a1bc8#commitcomment-38384817

The product name with a 'like Pom'Potes is truncated when creating a new product. On import into grocy the name is Pom only

When I try to look up a barcode, I get the error "Error looking up product by barcode" in the index.php. Is there anything I have to do to make it work?

I was wondering how this looked up product information. I know there is upcindex.com and nutritionix.com. I was wondering whether there was some kind of client server setup to aggregate everyone's entries, or whether it pulled from one of these or similar commercial services?

I have barcodebuddy running on my main server.

This works well when I use my android phone, however would it be possible to run grabInput.sh/py on a different host and send post messages to the main server?

I want to use for example a Rpi to connect to a bluetooth barcode scanner. What do I need to install on the raspberry pi? do I only need the script? I am confused with this variable "SCRIPT_LOCATION: Replace with the location where your index.php file is located"

It would be great if adding this for use with the Grocy Addon with Home Assistant was as easy as adding this as an addon and linking the two together.

Problem with Chrome on Android

This would make installing a lot easier, as no further setup will be required.
Internal communication could be realised with Semaphore.

As most modern webbrowser disallow autoplay without sound, we need to find a way around. Maybe a mute/unmute button would work, as this would count as user interaction

I’ve installed barcode buddy on my synology nas. I’m not using a scanner at the moment just trying to use the examples you provided in the readme. I tried a Cheerios barcode using showui&add and it found the barcode. I can’t seem to get it to add to grocy though. I clicked add but nothing happened. I’m not sure if I put the api credentials in correctly. When I go to the rest api documentation I see the server listed there. Do I list that whole thing? I have grocy installed via the hassio package.

I'm trying to add stock, I've edited the example python script slightly to make URL calls instead of trying to run PHP directly, since my instance of nginx is in a docker container and isn't directly available. I can't just run the python script in the docker image, as my barcode scanner is plugged into a rPi and I'd need to pass through USB.

I've added the line, requests.get('http://URLHERE/index.php?add='+data), and commented out the os.system call.

Unfortunately, when I put Barcode Buddy into Purchase Mode, when I scan a barcode following this it still consumes stock. I've tested using a os.system call to docker, which then runs a call to the php binary to process the barcode, which works correctly.

Not working with URL Call using requests:

2019-10-17 16:02:30: Set state to Purchase

It'd be really handy if Barcode Buddy recognised what state it was in, when adding a barcode via the URL.

Currently, if I scan a new the name is "generic_name" personally I would have preferred the "generic name". How can we choose?
