Ariela - Home Assistant Android Client - Updates Thread

Very much appreciated, thanks!

Also, does android let you pin permanent notifications to the top of the list. Minor request, but sometimes have to scroll quite a bit to find it :slight_smile:

Hi Ionut

Some issues I see:

This graph’s x-axis just counts up, no relation to the time

This image should show binary sensor bars:

The custom slider is not showing the slider:

The Xiaomi vacuum card is not filling its values:

See logs I’ve sent you by email :wink:

hello,
I have a feature request.
I am using a Lovelace alarm panel and there is no code necessary to arm/disarm.
The web UI does not show line to insert a code which is correct.
Ariella shows a code line and I can put any code to arm/disarm.
Can you make it the same as the web UI?

Fixed :slight_smile:

I still see no slider in Ariela for this card

Thank you for the suggestion. I will see what i can do about it.

Please send new Ariela logs so i can check it out.

hi,
how can i set more then one wifi ssid to home location?

In Ariela -> Settings -> Device Tracker -> Wifi & Zones

  • there you could add wifi names and you should assign them to zone.home

After this, go to Ariela -> Settings -> Server Connection and enable “Use internal IP when connected to home AP”

If you do this, whenever Ariela detects you are connected to a Wifi which has assigned zone = “zone.home” it will automatically consider you home and it will use the internal IP address for connecting.
Please let me know if you have any issue with it.

working
thx

hi,
i cant make ariela start running in the background after restart.
if i open the app then all is working.

ps
i still dident update to the new version

I didn’t make any updates on that area for some time:
What you should do:

Ariela -> Settings - >Common -> Start on boot
Ariela -> Settings - >Common -> Startup boot mode -> background service. Be sure that you also have the Ariela background service running enabled.

alarm code improvements! nice!
it works now as expected! thanks
