Ariela - Home Assistant Android Client - Updates Thread

I think there might still be a bug here:

Ariela (not showing name as in the card config, also no slider):

Webui:

My card config:

  - entity: cover.shelly_living
    hide_state: true
    min: 20
    name: Rolluik Positie
    step: 20
    type: 'custom:slider-entity-row'

Some more custom cards I use:

  • mini-media-player
  • xiaomi-vacuum-card
  • history-graph

Keep 'em coming Ionut, Ariela is getting better and better with each release! :smiley:

Thank you, i will check it out.

Added to my TODO list.

When using button card, the action navigate do nothing, the idea is to go to another page.

Sorry for long delay in responding. I will add the fix to my TODO list.

Since this update, on my wall mounted tablet, the gauge widget are small, before this update it was ok for the size…

Thank you for letting me know. I will fix it asap

The gauge size has indeed become very small, what was the reason for change?


Could you please also add history for entities with unit of measurement:

  • W
  • kW
  • L (liters)
  • mm (rain)

Also for counter entities a graph would be interesting.

The Xiaomi Vacuum card has an issue for me as well:

Thank you, i added to my TODO list the measurements support. Regarding the xiaomi card please enable debug mode and send me the logs so i can investigate.

Hi, just started using the app and I don’t understand how to set it so it sends sensor information continuously or even better, in case of a change.
The basic question is if the app needs to be up and running?
If I back out with the back button then the app closes and then it doesn’t seem to work …
I’ve tried “run in background” but it doesn’t seem to make a difference.
If I go into the app again (after it’s closed) I get the latest information in HA.

Hello,
If you enabled run in background for Ariela then a permanent notification should be shown. If that notification is not shown then you will have follow Ariela - Home Assistant Android Client instruction.

Thanks, but is that how the app works? That the app must always be up and running (even in the background)? It feels like the battery will drain much faster …

Yes the app will need to be running in the background in order to send sensor data, also if you are using the device tracker. Of course this will use more battery than if it wasn’t running, but I don’t find it noticeable.

Awesome! Was really looking forward to dark theme support in notification area. However, it still appears on white background for me. Am I missing something or is not working on my phone? Galaxy S10 with night mode enabled on Verizon running latest November security update (applied today, wasnt working before update either)

Also I am now missing name of entity in notification area. I tried toggling show state on/off and still not seeing names, only icons.

Thanks.

That’s strange. Seems that the names text color changed but the background of the notification didn’t . Let me see what i can do about it.
