Ariela - Home Assistant Android Client

I will add in the next version an option to set the reconnection time. Hope this will fix the issue

Super cool, thanks

Can confirm this problem, with reconnect retry on it eats up a lot of battery. Thankfully I have 4000mAh

Thanks, this took 44% of my battery today.

I would love to see support for Tasker to allow us the ability to specify all the conditions surrounding updates from Ariela to HA

Hi all,

I’m unable to use Car Position Automation shared on Ariela website.

I look in log and found this:

Log Details (ERROR)

Sat Jun 01 2019 15:44:57 GMT+0200 (Ora legale dell’Europa centrale)

Error rendering data template: UndefinedError: ‘trigger’ is undefined

Some one has the same issue?

Ionut · June 1, 2019, 7:23pm

I will see what i can do about this.

Can you tell me which HA version you are using?

Jokerigno · June 1, 2019, 7:50pm

Last one 0.92.3

Quick, hopefully easy question.
I am looking into changing from the HANotify custom component to the built in mobile_app component.

I commented out the fcm_notify component, and added “mobile_app:” to my customization.yaml.
What else needs to be done?

I can access HA from my phone, but when I try to find my mobile phone for notify.mobile_app_ I can’t find anything.

Thanks!

Go to the “services” section of home assistant and in the top line Type “notify” and you should see “notify.mobile_app-user” in the drop down box.

DeadEnd · June 2, 2019, 1:28am

That is what I meant when I said I couldn’t find the notify.mobile_app_xxx

UPDATE - when I commented out the FMC-android… I commented out the NOTIFY: too.
I put this back in and now I can see the notify.mobile_app_xxx.

Now my only iss is that I deleted the Mobile_App integration thinking it was Firebase trying to get the mobile_app component to work… now that I figure out my mistake it won’t let me manually recreate the missing device.

How do I get Ariela app to push the integration again?

Thanks,

Hi,

Looks like setting “WebUI scroll down refresh” doesn’t work (or I don’t understand its meaning correctly).
If I disable it, scrolling down still does a refresh, so I cannot scroll, eg, option lists, in webui mode.

koying · June 2, 2019, 1:02pm

Not sure it’s related, but I don’t see the “notify.mobile_app…” service, either.

I see this in the HA log, which seems related (“Ultima10” is my phone name):

Hey @Ionut - first wanna say thanks for all your hard work! Purchased the pro version and am really liking it so far. I’d like to ask about lovelace picture glances - do you have any plans to support clicking on these and maybe being able to pinch to zoom?

Ionut · June 3, 2019, 11:35am

Just replace “state” from topic to “attributes” and should work:
Eg: topic: homeassistant/sensor/android_galaxy_s8_hfp/attributes

Use exit function from Ariela and start Ariela again and it should appear again. Please let me know if works.

This function is still buggy, i am working on a way to fix it.

Can you tell me which HA version you are using?

Thank you very much for the purchase, i really appreciate it. Please create a issue here and i will see what i can do about it: Issues · MCrissDev/Ariela · GitHub

Is there any documentation on how to use the NFC feature? I’m having some issues implementing it. I wrote a simple NFC tag that simply has the text ‘guestmodeon’ on it. I’m using that to trip an automation. The issue is resetting the NFC tag state in Ariela.

If I scanned the NFC tag, I can’t use the same tag again as the automation won’t trigger because the NFC state tag hasnt changed.

I tried using this python script to manually set the value of the NFC tag, but it seems like Ariela is sending the NFC tag data again every couple of minutes which in turns triggers my automation.

Any way we can get Ariela to reset the NFC data a minute after its been scanned?

Ionut · June 3, 2019, 12:02pm

Just create an automation that its having the trigger the NFC json_attributes_topic and it should work.

Is your server connection with Ariela stable? Ariela should send NFC info when reconnecting to HA server only and of course when it reads a NFC tag.

aidbish · June 3, 2019, 12:31pm

Hi @Ionut
Just trying the mobile_app: intergration instead of HAnotify, but as others have mentioned i do not see a notify.mobile_app…” service in my dev panel

any ideas. this is on 0.94.b4. i have also tried on 93.2

Edit: Rebooted HA again and Service is now available

Ionut · June 3, 2019, 12:40pm

Hi,

Can you check if the device appear in HOMEASSISTANTFOLDER/.storage/core.device_registry file?

Ionut

No, I have tried a few things:
First, I re-enabled FCM-ANDROID to do comparisons (and so I can use notifications until mobile_app works).
So I have this in my configuration.yaml - is there any problem with having both?

# Mobile App
mobile_app:
# FCM Notifications
notify:
  - name: android
    platform: fcm-android

With this setup, I restarted HA and when I check for notify services I have this list:

notify.android
notify.android_phone1
notify.andoird_phone2
notify.mobile_app_phone2
notify.notify

Phone 2 I didn’t touch, so it appears that both components are working for this (I haven’t tested… wife’s phone, so I try to not bother. Phone 1 is the one that I deleted the mobile_app integration in HA trying to fix it, and now I can’t get it back.

I did restart HA, exit and even cleared cache in Ariela. So far I can’t get notify.mobile_app_phone1 to populate.

As a side note:
I also am using Node-Red for automation - and only the notify.android’s are showing up. The notify.mobile_app do not appear at all - I expect I will need to investigate this with another post though since I don’t think this is Ariela issue.

I checked this file, and both phones do appear - once each.

Thanks for all the help!
