Home Assistant

Great app, really miss "enable all sensors" though. It was such an important feature as it's a chore having to enable 60+ sensors one by one manually. Sort of understand why it was removed, but doesn't make it any less inconvenient to everyone that wants to enable all sensors (or most of them) and doesn't justify totally removing that altogether. Should have left it, perhaps with a clear warning and confirmation that battery life will be affected if you enable all sensors. Outside of that one seriously important (to me and others) thing, solid app as always. Hope to have that back though.

Well designed and easy to use. I've never had an issue with it. This app gives you access to any and all settings/features on the go. It's pretty much the web interface in app form. Notifications and geo-fencing work well. Fantastic app.

Instances are never saved, they get wiped regularly and you literally have to manually enter the URL and log in every few hours. WearOS integration does the same. Poor implementation, sadly.

I wish I could open the app settings without deleting all app data. I wish I could get it to retry to connect to my home assistant instance, instead of caching an nginx default page.

Excellent, not only does this app do what you'd expect, while remaining reasonable on battery consumption, but it can (settings, companion app, sensor management) also provide your HA system with much info concerning your phone: if it is charging, % battery, BT and Wifi your phone is connected to, the address where your phone is and more information you may want for Info or for use in automations.

Doesn't work. I can't get it to connect via ip and port. By looking into forums seems to be a complicated bug related problem. Running on stock samsung s10 - android 12

Been using home assistant for about 6 months now and don't understand how this app is free. You have to be a little geeky sometimes to get things to work but overall it works great.

Won't stop running in the background and "collecting sensor data" no matter how many options you turn off.

Crashes every 5 seconds after loading up on a pixel 6. Tried clearing the cache and storage, rebooting the phone.. It still happens

Working really nicely with my whole setup - Can't wait to see what new features will come. Would love though if some integrations were a little simpler (i.e Nest/google speakers & Eufy)

Since the last update my menu bar is crooked. Is this a known bug? After an update to homeassistant this is gone. Nice work

Great to use if you know how to Google, keep in mind that tech isn't all knowing and stick to your limits. So much love for all the Devs that put work into this project such a shame that other companies keep everything under lock and key

After the last update I was not able to use widgets in the home screen. I get the message that the application is not installed when I want to put the widget on the home screen.I use ADW Launcher on my phone. Another observation is about big lag when i navigate tru app.Now,the app is very slow and laggy.

Originally grabbed this simply to have a "controller" in my pocket. Usefulness more than doubled, however, after subscribing to Nabu Casa cloud service offered by the same folks who created HA (so it's private). New automation options and being able to tinker and check on things while away are worth the $5/month. Now, I use the app more, for setting new scenes, automations, etc. It also works well with the Node Red add-on.

1) Notifications are delayed even though battery optimization is turned off for the app 2) Needs a better app exit method; after navigating through multiple pages in the app, I have to press the back button three million times to exit the app. 3) widget icon doesn't scale up with the widget size. Aka it becomes pixelated as the widget grows. Use vector or svg for widget icons.

With latest changes in Android 11 and its persistent notification for receiving push notifications (persistent websocket connection), it is draining lot of battery. Over 20% per day.

For the person with the "ALL Sensors" complaint... create a group... problem solved. I love the creators for this. I've been using Home Assistant since before the UI was around and they just keep delivering more and more. Sure, I can go in and write some code, but it's so convenient to be able to use the UI now.

Switching to Home Assistant was a massive mistake. I've spent countless hours trying to get my system to work well. And when it kind of works well, the next update breaks it. If you have zwave, avoid this like the plaque. Don't believe the hype of zwavejs. Just exasperating.

I rarely rate apps, but home assistant is so great I couldn't help myself! Also the app gives a lot of possibilities and is complete. Awesome!

Was working wonderfully but the latest update is causing excessive battery drain and prevents the phone from entering deep sleep. Confirmed with AccuBattery and then uninstalling Home Assistant from the phone.

Home Assistant is absolutely epic platform. However, you still need quite a lot of time to keep it working flawlessly (major releases can contain breaking changes), and a bit of a programming skill (though they are trying to make everything more accessible for regular people). Still, I love it and cannot recommend it enough. I have a ton of devices communicating with each other over Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Zigbee and Z-Wave, ranging from lights, heating, home security to pretty much everything else.

Home Assistant and it's developers work tirelessly to provide a way for devices from multiple brands to truly work together, and Home Assistant is by far the most polished yet customizable attempt so far. A lot of users leaving bad reviews don't seem to understand that this isn't (yet) meant to be a turnkey solution. It's a toolbox for the power user to tinker with their smart home and dial it in exactly the way they want it, which may require some work and light coding along the way.

Downloaded and installed the app when I got a new phone with a version of Android that would work with it. The application has worked well for me with no real problems but is contingent on you having an understanding of how to set up Home Assistant to do what you want it to do. I am amazed by the commitment of the Home Assistant developers to produce such a polished system which, after a number of years of development, works reliably and consistently. I recommend Home Assistant and this app.
