I just have my kids do stuff.
"Water the yard!"
"Turn off that light!"
"Change the channel!"
"Go get the mail!"
Simple. Fairly reliable. Best DIY project the wife and I have ever done.

"Would you like an hour of screen time? ... The dog excrement is rather unsightly and requires collection. Post collection, we run a mile together."
"I will give you 15 minutes of screen time for every 5 burpees completed to my satisfaction"
"The $10 dollar bonus this week will be based on the lack of dog excrement in the yard and you packing your own !!Heathy!! lunches!"
"I will give you $10 dollars for every book read with accompanying book report (usually only two paragraph summaries)."
"If we find any clothes that are not in hampers, we deduct $1 dollar from allowance per item."
So on and so forth... the rules are consistent, but do allow for bonuses and cutbacks based on performance. The conservation of electricity and water are biggies!!!
Requires a lot of maintenance the first few years especially!
I only have one, but I have heard that a second one could be a hit or miss. In some cases, it will help fix the first one, but in other cases it has resulted in getting spoiled itself.
