IMPORTANT! #2 It is very nice to see all of your issue reported here and in bad reviews on Google Play (actually it is not), but it is very hard to follow every issue in one forum thread.

Location tracking is available in version 0.7.0 or higher.

Get it on Google Play

what are the advantages of this over just using the frontend?

estevez · September 23, 2018, 2:56pm

If we are talking about native client at all: speed, widgets, native notifications, location tracking and so on.
But if you asking about this version: it is only alpha pre-release and you will get only speed =)

thx.

did you know that there are others (at least 2) that already have widgets?

estevez · September 23, 2018, 2:59pm

Yes, I know

Where do I get an access token? I haven’t been paying much attention to the new auth system, but I am using it.

So this is a flutter app? Does it build on iOS?

tielemans.jorim · September 23, 2018, 4:05pm

It’s in the documentation: http://ha-client.homemade.systems/docs

w1ll1am23 · September 23, 2018, 4:11pm

Awesome thanks, I should have looked harder.

estevez · September 23, 2018, 4:13pm

Yes, this is flutter up and theoretically it should build on iOS. But this was not tested yet.

Awasome!!!downloading

I get stuck with connection time out(core 1)

estevez · September 23, 2018, 4:41pm

Something wrong with configuration I think. Which Home Assistant version do you have?

cholek3 · September 23, 2018, 4:51pm

I have the same issue, with token or api password. HA version 0.78.0
I noticed one thing. I am using duckdns domain, where you don’t have to put port number, just httpS in front. When I leave Port number empty in connection settings, HA Client dash shows “my-domain.duckdns.org:” with colon at the end? Maybe there is an issue?

estevez · September 23, 2018, 4:54pm

Sorry guys, you don’t need to add protocol to domain. Just “mydomain.duckdns.org” without http or https.

cholek3 · September 23, 2018, 5:01pm

@estevez
I (we?) don’t add “https” in front. With “https” switch to “on” or “off”, every time I get Connection Timeout, code:1. Without 8123 port, I get Error in connection, code:5.

w1ll1am23 · September 23, 2018, 5:06pm

Did you try using 443 for the port?

estevez · September 23, 2018, 5:06pm

Which url do you use to access web version?

estevez · September 23, 2018, 5:13pm

Make sure you have http: component enabled. See documentation for requirements: http://ha-client.homemade.systems/docs

cholek3 · September 23, 2018, 5:15pm

None.

Aaaaa, of course. Got it sorted. You need to put port 443, that’s the external port, which router forward to internal port 8123. So answer is, port 443, if you are using duckdns.

estevez · September 23, 2018, 5:16pm

Niiiiice! Thanks for help. Will update documentation
