I've been using Home Assistant for several years now. While most challenges were fairly easy to solve, some small details took me forever to get right.

A few weeks ago, I installed the Mealie Addon, which helps manage cooking recipes. It also includes a shopping list feature, and I needed a way to sync this list with the to-do list from the Bring! integration—so that all items appear in both lists.

What seemed like a simple task turned out to be surprisingly complicated. After a lot of trial and error, I finally got it working and decided to share the automation here:

Bidirectional Shopping List Sync Automation

So, what automation caused you the most frustration?
