Penalty Warnings

A yellow card first: the points only go the second time.

Setting It Up

Edit a penalty in the panel's Penalties tab. Under Warning first:

Setting What it does
Give a warning first The first time the penalty is applied in a period is only a warning
Warning resets Daily (the default) or Weekly — when the slate is wiped clean

How It Works

  1. The first time the penalty is applied to a child in the period, no points are taken. The child's card shows "🟨 Warning: Shouting at the table — Next time it's −10 Stars", the panel says "Warning given", and taskmate_penalty_warning fires.
  2. The next time in the same period it deducts as normal (and the card strip goes). Every application after that deducts too.
  3. When the period resets — the next day, or the next Monday for a weekly warning — the first application is a warning again.

The warning is per child and per penalty. It works however the penalty is applied: the panel, the Penalties card or taskmate.apply_penalty.

A penalty with a make-it-right chore only offers it once points are actually taken.

For Automations

taskmate_penalty_warning carries child_id, child_name, penalty_id, penalty_name, points (what next time costs) and resets (daily / weekly). It's also on the child's event entity as penalty_warning. The overview sensor's per-child summary carries penalty_warnings while there's one to show.
