Complication missing in iOS Watch App

Hi, i am trying to configure a complication on my Apple Watch but Home Assistant is not present in the complication list in the watch app. In the complication menu, home assistant is included. Am I missing something ?

After trying to replicate the issue on a second iPhone, iOS 14.2 is not at fault. The solution was to remove all watch faces from the Watch App then selecting a new Face and adding the complication.

Edit: Finally, I had better success when modifying the complication on the watchface directly on the watch.

I’m experiencing he same issue. How do remove all watch faces?

Hi, it turns out that you don’t have to remove your watch faces. Just go directly on the watch and modify the complication of the watchface, you should see your complication that you created in the HA iPhone app .

I can’t see Home Assistant as an option for complications. I see Home but not Home Assistant.

Make sure to use a complication that can be added to your specific watch face. I used “smart circle “ which seems to be available in most watch faces.

Am seeing the same behaviour. Restored recently and have been re setting up things.

I don’t see a Home assistant in complication selection, either on the watch or in the watch app, but have configured complications correctly. Seems like a bug

Seems like a but to me too. I removed the complication by mistake and now it is nowhere to be found…

Anyone have a solution for this ?

Anyone found a solution ? I can’t get my complication back, no matter what I try.

The only way I have found to get this going is to create a complication that displays something/anything then add that to your watch face.

After trying everything to add a simple “Circular Image” I tried with the “Closed Gauge Image” and dummy data ( {{ range (1,100)| random / 100}} ) and finally succeeded.
I managed to modify the complication back to “Circular Image” once the complication was added to my watch.
Thanks for the tip !

Wow, you’re the first one to actually solve this for me. I thought I was going crazy, because so many were reporting that they DID have it working. For people following along: choose the Circular type from the Graphic subsection. And try to use it on an Infograph of Infograph Modular watch face.

Glad I could help !

It seems like a great deal of the complications supported by the Home Assistant app are now “legacy” complications according to Apple. I’ve seen in various other threads about this topic people saying that these are no longer supported and won’t show up on the watch when trying to choose a complication for a given slot. I’m not sure that’s actually the explanation… from my reading of Apple’s docs legacy complications should still work (but just not change color).

I suggest you create one of every kind of complication possible in the Home Assistant app, and then see which ones actually appear for your given slot. For me only a single one: Graphic → Circular appears for either of the small slots I was trying to use on the Modular and Wayfinder watch faces.

I suspect this is just out-of-date code in the Home Assistant app that needs to get modernized.

SOLVED it with a different approach (since a new complication did not do the trick for me):

  1. On the iPhone > Watch app > My Watch > Home Assistant, I unchecked the “Show on Apple Watch”, waited 2sec, then turned it on again.
  2. Then on the HA app > Settings > Companion app > Apple Watch, I clicked “Update complications” (which was previously appearing as Unavailable).
    And voila!
