Sweet! I was doing this via ADB before, but this should hopefully work better and have less disconnects

This is fantastic, thank you! Does it require the app being open the whole time to get this sensor data?
I am working on a 3D VR environment to HA instance setup, which would run as a separate app.

No it doesn’t, the sensor worker runs as a foreground service in the background. Just make sure to grant the app background access under the Companion App settings so the system doesn’t kill the app. The sensor worker will also start on device boot after you login

Same here, adb just wasn’t reliable enough

Sweet love it!

This is great. I was thinking of setting up something to toggle my IR Illuminator. I wasn’t expecting a full integration.

Very nice work!

Where does the firmware version come from? (listed under Device Info; I can’t find if there’s an entity that has it)

Both of my Quests (a Q1 and a Q2) are on v35, but it’s reporting firmware as 29. Is it, by any chance, processing it as Octal (035)? If so, it’ll break in 3 more versions

Firmware version is the Android API level which both devices are API 29 which is Android 10

Ah, I didn’t realize it was the API version. Yes, 29 makes sense in that context (not sure what use it is, but it makes sense). 035 was just a nice coincidence

It is nice of course, that new fetures are relesed. But with half working tuya lights and non working most of my xiaomi equipment, one counts for sth very diffrent…

Android releases have nothing to do with HA core, different team of developers.

Looks like some people are investing their free time where they want instead of where you need it.

To me it seems like the last_used_app sensor has very limited functionality, when it only updates every 15 minutes. Shouldn’t it update on state change?

there is no intent for it to be updated on a state change, try enabling more sensors to trigger more updates. the phone app has the same issue

This is amazing. I just ran through the steps and it installed perfectly.

Just added this to my Quest 2, really cool to see HA in my headset, while SimRacing for a few hours finding out my house got dark as i was only moving in my small room, I can now turn on the lights, even the fridge next to the simroom

Is it already possible to send a Notification to the HeadSet? I would love to get a notification if someone enters our house when i’m in a VR app so I know someone came in

I’ve just installed the app on my Quest 2, but I’m not seeing most of the sensors is like to use reporting anything at all. Most seem to report ‘unknown’, with only the battery level, battery state, and charger type spring anything at all.

Is this app now broken? I was hoping to detect when I launch the Steam Link app and automate powering on and off the gaming machine.

I have the exact same problem. 2 Quest 3 headsets here. Both only show values for “Battery Level”, “Battery State” & “Charger Type”. All other sensors are unavailable.

Battery level is at least something. But not possible to know if I put on my headset or if I start a specific game or anything. It makes the companion app for quest almost useless

Are you sure the sensors are enabled? As the ones you have listed that do work are on by default all other sensors must be enabled manually.

Any chance of getting the Battery States from the Controllers?
