Apple TV App for Home Assistant - HA Control

Hey, just wondering if you still support this. I saw it hasn’t been updated in ~11 months so I’m curious. Thanks

@D0doooh can you please fix bugs that occur when setting up the app. If I want to use my normal URL I cant becase when I delete http:// to http:/ it locks out and I cant edit url. So I cant use https:// url. when I do my url but with http://myurl.com it says transport cant happen because it is not over https. It is quite frustrating to use and I do not want to use local connection.

Hi, I just started to use 'HA Control'. Nice app!

But I have a question: when showing the sensor-data (like, in my case, electricity-consumption), it shows the data for the last month. Does somebody know if there is a way to add a property in the groups.yaml entry to show the data only for the last 24 hours?

Hi!

First of all, thank you for creating HA Control. I’ve been using it to build a Family Screen Time solution for Apple TV together with Home Assistant, and it works surprisingly well.

During testing I’ve found a couple of things that would make the app even better.

  1. Automatic reconnect

If the app is sent to the background and then opened again, it always shows:

“Software caused connection abort”

The saved URL and token are still valid, and pressing Connect reconnects immediately.

It would be great if HA Control could automatically reconnect instead of showing the error.

  1. Status feedback for long-running scripts

I’m using scripts that require parental approval before continuing.

Currently the user doesn’t know what’s happening after pressing a button.

It would be very useful if the app could display a temporary status such as:

  • Waiting for approval…
  • Approved
  • Denied

before returning to the menu.

  1. Optional PIN entry before executing a script

One feature that would be fantastic for family use would be the ability to require a PIN before executing selected scripts.

Example:

Child selects a profile → enters PIN → script executes.

This would open up many parental-control use cases.

Thanks again for a great application!
