Hi, I’m unable to create a new widget on my Xiaomi Pad 5 which is running on HyperOS (Android). Whenever I create, it gives the unable to create widget error. Anyone has similar issues?
any errors in the companion app logs?
Hi I just solved it. Basically third party widgets must be created via the OS, not through the app directly.
thats a launcher issue it seems, in fact the OS should properly report that it does not allow apps to do that so we dont show the option 
Hello, it seems that I have the same issue. How did you create a Widget by the OS?
Edit : Noah understood your remark. By long press on the screen a menu is popping up where you can select widget and then under the list of all apps you can select home assistant in the categories where the by selecting the category you can select the detailed entity or similar like before from home assistant so at the end same story but different way…
can you check the companion app logs for any errors? ideally the option should not show up but maybe there is a bug in the code that needs to be fixed.
