This walkthrough shows how I track Codex reset credits in Home Assistant: a reset-credit JSON feed, REST/template sensors, a dashboard card with expiration dates, and a Repair that stays open while any reset is within 7 days of expiring. [Watch the video](https://youtu.be/7wKhtrvtyiI), read the [companion blog post](https://www.vcloudinfo.com/2026/06/track-codex-resets-home-assistant.html), browse the YAML in [config/packages/bearclaw.yaml](config/packages/bearclaw.yaml), and see the dashboard source in [config/dashboards/infrastructure](config/dashboards/infrastructure).

This walkthrough shows the Home Assistant watchdog I built after my Tesla Powerwall stopped charging before Hurricane Milton: outage visibility, load shedding, alerts when the Powerwall stays low after grid power returns, and guarded recovery once the grid is stable. [Watch the video](https://youtu.be/hR_0lFEE2bA), read the [companion blog post](https://www.vcloudinfo.com/2026/06/tesla-powerwall-home-assistant-watchdog.html), browse the YAML in [config/packages/powerwall.yaml](config/packages/powerwall.yaml), and follow the background in [issue #1490](https://github.com/CCOSTAN/Home-AssistantConfig/issues/1490).
