Ariela - Home Assistant Android Client

I kind of like them at the bottom, especially for one-handed usage. Perhaps make it configurable.

Hi,

Is it possible to send device tracker information over mqtt?

I want to be able to track location when out of home without exposing HA to the inet, by sending location through Cloudmqtt, as I have previously done with owntracks.

Thanks in advance, and apologies if I am missing something obvious.

Still not getting a slider

I also noticed the following:

I added a new tab on Lovelace UI but it’s not showing in Ariela (even after closing the app and starting it again). Any ideas what could be the issue? Does Ariela use a cache perhaps?

It isn’t possible for now, but i can add this function easily :smiley:

Send me again the logs and some screenshots of both HA & Ariela :smiley:

Please send me the logs for this too :smiley: Its quite strange it doesn’t show the tab. Ariela its requesting the lovelace config each time, no cache its made.

My device tracker setting keeps turning off by itself. Everytime i go into settings and turn on device tracker then go back and then go back into the settings the device tracker setting is turned off again. This is happening on 3 phones a pixel and 2 pixel 2 XL’s

Just go to phone settings, click location -> Ariela -> Allow all time :smiley:
Please let me know if works.

that worked thank you. not sure what removed the permission from always to only when the app is open but that fixed it tyvm

You’re welcome. Glad to hear the problem was sorted out.

Hey,

Is there anyway to get Ariela to update location when my front door opens?

When I come home my GPS doesn’t always update to home. It would be nice if home Assistant was able to trigger a location update.

Hello,

I have something in works that will allow requesting location updates in Ariela, even if Ariela its not currently running.
For example you will be able to create automation like: if front door opened -> request Ariela location -> Ariela sends new location (if possible to retrieve).

These types of requests are already available for battery sensor :smiley:

Will this work for you?

Yes perfect!

Any idea on timescale?

1-2 days :slight_smile:

This is a script example that will allow force Ariela to send a device tracker update (even if the Ariela its not currently running). Availability: Ariela version 1.3.7.9

'1574681991966':
  alias: Trigger device tracker update
  sequence:
  - data:
      message: message_device_tracker_update
    service: notify.mobile_app_galaxy_s8

Is it possible to trigger a device tracker update from Tasker?

Thanks!

No, its not possible.

But there is a option in Ariela that will allow listening the location changes that are requested by other apps.
