Ariela - Home Assistant Android Client

[jon102034050 (Jon)]

@Ionut I turned debug on (for homeassistant.components.mobile_app.webhook) and this is what my log looks like:

2020-02-02 20:21:22 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.mobile_app.webhook] Received invalid webhook payload: required key not provided @ data[0]['state']. Got None

Love the app, and I’m only scratching the surface of everything that it can do! My wife ran into an issue getting it working on her phone, however. She’s using a Moto X4, and it seems like it has a shorter display than your app expects. When she goes to the screen to “Select a certificate”, the “Continue” and “Skip” buttons aren’t visible. There is no scroll ability, so this means that she cannot continue past this screen.

Thank you for telling me the about this. I will resolve it soon.

Hi,
I have seen a few mentions of WearOS in this thread (but almost 3000 posts, I didn’t read all ^^).
Can someone tell me if as of today, is it compatible with a wearOs smartwatch (I don’t have one now, I am currently comparing the different models) ? And if so, what is your feedback regarding user experience ?
Thanks !

The experience is quite basic. You just only see some basic info about sensors / switches etc, can control switches, run scripts.

I will check, thank you for reporting.

I think it will be good enough . Is there any screenshot somewhere of the app on a WearOS watch ?

Hi @ionut,
Your app looks interesting, unfortunately I can’t go very far:
select wifi
choose certificate
enter the address: https://192.168.1.63:8123
then I have a connection failure.
From the adb logs:

02-04 20:49:56.231 16863 22682 E HA_HAServerConnectionTe: HAServerConnectionTester  exception while reaching the address = https://192.168.1.63:8123 . Error =java.lang.ClassCastException: com.android.org.bouncycastle.asn1.DLSequence cannot be cast to com.android.org.bouncycastle.asn1.ASN1Integer

Phone: Huawei Mate 20 Android 9.

Any idea ?

Hi @flebourse
Here is something that i could find over internet about the error you mentioned:

org.bouncycastle.asn1.DLSequence cannot be cast to org.bouncycastle.asn1.ASN1Integer

Please let me know if works.

Hi @ionut,
Thank you for your quick answer, I was aware of this post + a few others btw.
I have imported the ca (a .crt in DER encoding) in the android repository and chrome is happy with it so the issue must be a little more subtle.
Retrying without the certificate path doesn’t help either.
Have you a way to use the one already present in the CA store ?
Regards,

[Ionut (Ionut Cristea)]

Can you tell me exactly how you imported the certificate in Android?

[flebourse]

Transfer via BT, choose in a file explorer then select “Import certificate”.

[flebourse]

Debugging a little more: chrome throws the same integer cast exception but continues anyway and the relevant page is displayed.

@Ionut

I will check, thank you for reporting.

Have you had a chance to look into this yet? Anything you need from me for testing/reproduction?

[Ionut (Ionut Cristea)]

From what i see its a issue that its found on all apps that uses mobile app. I am still investigating.

[squayor78 (marco)]

would it be possible to add an audio effect like a doorbell to ariela’s tts service? To be clear what already exists in Lannouncer …

[squayor78 (marco)]

another request … would it be possible to integrate a timer on the device tracker to deactivate it for example during the night or while working and thus saving the battery?

[LKent (Kent Loving)]

I wasted a few hours trying to get HA discovery of the Aeriel MQTT sensors. The problem turned out to be that I’d used an apostrophe in Settings -> Common -> Device Name (I used “Kent’s_Phone”). I finally found in HA docs about MQTT discovery that legal characters for id are alphanumerics, underscore and hyphen. I changed the name to “Kents_Phone” and the sensors appeared.

To save other dummies, please consider a change to state the legal characters on the Settings -> Common -> Device Name dialog.

And thank you for this work. I like it better than the default HA android client.

Kent.

Sure

@squayor78

another request … would it be possible to integrate a timer on the device tracker to deactivate it for example during the night or while working and thus saving the battery?

You mean the location setting from phone?

@LKent

(I used “Kent’s_Phone”)

Indeed ’ character is not allowed in the name. Was that name generated by Ariela in the first place?

[squayor78 (marco)]

since activating the device tracker causes battery consumption I thought if it was possible for Ariela not to request and send GPS data during specific times of the day and week. Example:
do not activate the device tracker on ariela from Monday to Friday, from 8 to 17, and every day from 24 to 7

[Ionut (Ionut Cristea)]

Let me see what i can do about that. Maybe i could do also a setting that when the home wifi is detected no GPS location requests are made.

[squayor78 (marco)]

It would be perfect!

[mat44150 (mat)]

I can’t install the app on my watch from the store. Is it really compatible ? Should I sideload it or a light version of the app ?

[LKent (Kent Loving)]

yes, because I had previously entered that name (with apostrophe) in the Android settings when I first got the phone.
