Hi,
I managed to configure Ariela app to send MQTT info to my Home Assistant installation at home. A very interesting feature for me is “Voice recognition” on the phone, Ariela sends the recognized text to Home Assistant perfectly. But for me, it would be nicer if the voice recognition worked for Romanian. Is this thing possible? (currently it works in English only)
Thanks!
Salut Florin,
O sa adaug posibilitatea de a selecta limba de recunoastere intr-o versiune urmatoare. Sper ca e ok.
EN: I will add the possibility to choose the recognition language in a future version.

Perfect, I can’t wait, I thought it was something I could’ve configured by myself, maybe some Google settings on my phone etc. Thanks, great support activity for a wonderful app!
Mulțumesc, super rapid suportul pentru această aplicație! Florin

Thats sad, but I understand, that in fact, this is new component, depends on Roku-card. Thanks for answer.
May be it will possible to render unsupported cards in Webview or choose what items should use android view and what can be render in web. I know that it is hard to implement, but may be in the future… :))
Of course i have some surprises in the near future so please stay tuned
I look forward to it!
Thank you!
2 Parts:
- Been trying to setup an automation rule to send to two cell phones. I am able to send notifications to a single cell phone, but not two.
Works: notify.mobile_app_note8
Need both: notify.mobile_app_note8 & notify.mobile_app_galaxyS10
-
Is there a way to use variables for the Title and Messaging for push notifications?
Here is an example for Pushover. Be great if supported.
Been racking my mind on this and not able to get title to work. Date/Time stamps does works,message: ‘Date/Time: {{now().strftime("%a %b %d %H:%M:%S %p")}}’ <<<---- Working
title: ‘{{ trigger.to_state.attributes.friendly_name }} {% if trigger.to_state.state
== ‘‘on’’ %}Detected {% endif %}’
What you may want to try.
- From HA → Integrations → delete the phone that doesn’t work
- Restart HA
- Open Ariela → Settings → Force mobile app integration
- Try again
{“message”: “Date/Time: {{now().strftime(‘%a %b %d %H:%M:%S %p’)}}”} i tried and indeed worked.
For sure that title formatting can also work.
Hi Ionut,
These days I tried another nice feature of Ariela: front / back camera MQTT streaming images from my phone to HA. I did not succeed, here is what I’ve tried/done so far:
- Ariela has the right permissions for the phone’s camera
- the built-in MQTT is working as it should (I already have a few sensors working: battery, TTS, Voice recognition)
- I defined back camera entity in configuration.yaml
- I integrated this image source as a “picture glance” card
- I used the trigger topic to capture the image from the camera (in my case is: homeassistant/camera/android_redmi_backcamera/get_backcamera)
I didn’t understand from documentation, what payload I must send to the trigger topic more precisely? I assumed that anything will do, is that right? (so far I tried “null”, “1” and “on” 
)
Assuming the trigger does its job, the camera topic I defined in configuration.yaml (homeassistant/camera/android_redmi_backcamera), should display some values when sending the picture to HA, right? If so is the flow, in my case it doesn’t display anything.
Thanks!
Ariel app not allowing notifications through when phone is standby mode Wake up the phone opening the folio lid, notification arrives. All other apps notifications go through still, its only the Ariela app.
Phone:
- Galaxy Note 10 with Samsung Folio case
- Ariela app set to not sleep
Ariela App:
- ‘Allow background running’ is enabled
- ‘Start on boot’ is enabled
- ‘Start after update’ is enabled
Anything I’m missing?
Hi,
Only the topic should be send, there is no payload. If this still doesn’t work please enable debug mode in Ariela, try to send the topic from HA and send me the logs so i can check it out.
Hi, be sure your phone doesn’t kill the app the app or set to the power saving mode.
To be sure the phone doesn’t optimise the app , please check this Samsung | Don’t kill my app! and let me know if the problem was solved.

Thank @lonut for you responses and all the work with the app. With your app I was able to disable Google tracking and Pushover service from all phones and reconfigure the automation rules. Hats off.!!
For those that are interested in Ariela HA app to notify with Title & Message, I’d like to provide what is working for me.
Actual Notification
For the automation rule, please note that the actions section are entered directly in the automation.yaml file. At this time I have not tried to figure out how to enter within the (configuration/automation) tool within HA. If you like to take a stab, you’re welcome to do so and post.
Hopefully this will be helpful

Let me see what i can do about it 
Hi Ionut!
One more question about Roku-card.
What are this strange black volume buttons that duplicates “Volume Up” key?) How I can disable they in Ariela interface? I don’t see them in web UI.
PS
If I set “show: false” in “volume_up” key - this dark buttons become hidden too
volume_up:
show: false
Please share your full card config so i can try to replicate the issue

Hi!
Thank you for update
Does this change (fixed Roku card issue when the button is visible) means, that “dark volume up keys” are not visible anymore?
For me, they are on the same place 
Сleared the app cache but that didn’t help)
And yes, happy holidays!)
I am using Ariela for battery sensors and I am having one issue where it stops connecting to Home Assistant for no reason and no longer updates the sensors.
I am also running Fully Kiosk and that doesn’t disconnect.
When I check the Ariela app it is stuck on the Connect screen, why does it not connect automatically in case it drops the connection?
Hi Ionut.
Thank you for Ariela!
I have a small HASS setup, with only an alarm panel and a few binary sensors.
None of them appear in the Dashboard, it’s empty.
I have default UI settings.
However, when I enable WebUI, they are rendered correctly.
Another issue I have: I can add only one Wifi Zone in Device Tracker.
When I try to add another one, I the Zone dropdown is empty, so the zone can’t be created.
The same happens for IP zones.
Just enable the autoreconnection option which is off by default.
Try manual edit the lovelace config from web view and tell me if the issue still persist.
