Assist widget not found

Mobile Apps Home Assistant Companion for Android
1

Hi,
according to the documentation (Assist on Android - Home Assistant) I should be able to add an android widget on my phone to start assist.

I do not have any “Assist” widget under “Home assistant” list, I just have:

  • service call
  • entity state
  • template
  • media player
  • picture

I run companion app v 2024.7.3-full on OnePlus 10T Android 14

How can I add the Assist widget?

2

Make sure to enable adding shortcuts to the launcher.

I already use shortcuts to the launcher. But how this is related to the assist widget?

4

Because it’s an actual shortcut displayed in the widget picker. Some launchers restrict that so you need to open it up in settings.

Understood, thank you.

How can I set it up from the app settings? Do you have any tips?
