This is my third Home Assistant project, and the first one that is paid. There is still a free tier (tap/hold on the first two buttons of slot 1); unlocking the rest is optional.
I built an unofficial app for Amazfit / Zepp OS watches: you design layouts on the phone, then tap buttons on the watch to call Home Assistant services (light.toggle, scenes, covers, etc.).

Not affiliated with Nabu Casa, Home Assistant, or Zepp Health.
The watch does not pull entity states (you will not see whether a light is on or off). That is on purpose: widgets stay snappy, with no sync spinner and no waiting on Bluetooth every time you swipe to a widget. A tap sends the service call; the layout comes from a local cache.
What you get
- Up to 5 layouts (buttons, labels, rectangles, circles)
- Watch widgets (
HA Widget 1…5) where the watch supports them - A Widget app in the app list — this also works on watches that have no widgets
- Layouts and the HA token stay on the phone; the watch only stores layout JSON
Requirements
- Zepp OS 2.0+ watch + Zepp app
- Home Assistant + a long-lived access token
Install Widgets for Home Assistant from the Zepp store. Then: Zepp → Device application settings → the app → HA URL + token → build a layout → add HA Widget N under Device settings → Widgets. Keep the widget (or Widget app) open ~10–15 seconds so the watch can pull the layout.
Free / paid
Free: tap/hold on the first 2 buttons of slot 1. Unlock all slots and buttons via Buy in Settings (code at KiezelPay).
Ready-made layouts (JSON you can import):
Show and tell
Emoji in button labels — they use the watch font, not the phone’s. Older watches (e.g. GTR Mini) often show □. Details: discussion #5
Version 1.0.2 was released today, fixing several issues. If you have version 1.0.0 installed, please update.
