Ariela - Home Assistant Android Client

Thanks a lot.

New function is Ariela:

Now you can add switches directly on the home screen and control the switch from there:

Very cool. I installed (again few minutes ago) from here http://surodev.com/ariela/app-release.apk but I do not have the function

I have this problem, I do not see the views (on top) while I can slide left and right

Also is it possible to show some views and not all?

The apk has been update. Please try again and let me know how it goes.
Also the shortcut functionality is present in the new apk:

Yes lovely.

It works, although when yhou press the widget it (correctly) toggle the switch, but then it opens the app. I would just toggle the switch (possibly changing the Icon differentiating from Off to On

Hello Klagio,

As you may know this is a work in progress. In the future i will add update to change the icons, and also not opening the app.

I will appreciate if some one tells me if works correctly, so please let me know how it works

Also i would appreciate if you let me know what kind of home screen widgets you would like to see implemented by this app.
Thanks,
Ionut

I put one widget light, then I put a second widget switch. Pressing the second widget (switch) is turning on the first widget (light)

Thanks for reporting this. I will investigate.

Hi Ionut,

Sorry if I missed this in some of the reason posts, but I’m currently experiencing that when opening Ariela, off my home network that it comes up and want’s me to type in the server information once, both on my home wifi and with 3/4G connected.
When the setup is done, it works again.

Next day same issue, when I try from either work wifi or 3/4G, then I have to go through the procedure again.

Any ideas? Will update to the latest version right now…

Hello Yoinkz,
That’s very strange. I will investigate the issue.

Hello Klagio

The reported issue has been fixed. Please update the application using this http://surodev.com/ariela/app-release.apk and remove all the previously created widgets.
Thank you,
Ionut

Works now.

Selection of switch (when choosing widget) could be improved: I have tons of entity_id, it would be good to have them, perhaps, sorted alphabetically and/or by type (light, switch, sensor etc)

Also when pressing the widget the icon does not change

I will see what i can do about this.

Hello,
New update:

  • the icons widgets now change based on the state
  • minor UI fixes

Download: http://surodev.com/ariela/app-release.apk

its working great so far, I love it

The font is a bit too large, but this is minor.

Now I wish to have sensors widget!

For light/switches this is great, much easier then HTTP shortcut since no need to fill in the fields

Glad to hear that. Can you guys tell me what else can be added to the application?
Also, Klagio could you post some screenshots of the app to see if something needs to change on the UI?
Thanks,
Ionut
