Ariela - Home Assistant Android Client - Updates Thread

Do we still need to leave device_tracker and see turned on?

You will have to turn on device_tracker and choose mobile_app or see or both :slight_smile:

Since Version 1.3.4.1, my switches’names do not appear anymore:

Hi,

Hi… Yes, I’m getting updates, but I don’t see my devices location on maps in Ariela

Hi,
If you are home those devices will not be shown.

That’s strange… Before switching to mobile app device tracker, I always tracked my devices on map, even if I was at home… So, if I’m in any zone (home, work, etc), my devices will never be shown?

@Ionut, there seems to be a really big pause between starting Ariela and it showing the HA page when using the self-signed cert. It just sits on a white page not doing anything obvious, for about 10 seconds, then the page loads and all is good. After the first time it no longer mentions the self-signed cert, but the pause is there every time. I’ll get a log and send it over.

Has anyone done some power consumption measurements when location and/or other sensors are active? A few months ago I tested the location sending and decided it was not worth the battery consumption at the time.

It would be interesting to see how much battery is used depending on the settings.

If you use device tracker (using mobile_app) you can even close Ariela (not run in background) and Ariela will have most to nothing battery consumption.

Alright, I’ll give it a try and see how it goes :slight_smile:
