DISCONTINUED HA Client - native Android client for Home Assistant

dvd78 · December 23, 2018, 11:03pm

Hi @estevez,
in my experience with the app i can say it’s very usefull but i think there are some things to develop. in my opinion more important is camera entiry, you only can see image in little icon so you can’t use it, also but less important are historical graphs and weather forecast card.
last, there are no badges but i don’t know if it is a desired choice.
hope this can help also other users.
Best
Davide

Hi @dvd78
Thanks for your opinion.
Badges are in place and working fine. If you don’t see them, please report the issue on github.

So happy with this app, is my most used app after browsing and email.

Thanks again.

Any chance for a Ios version? Trying to make wife shift to Androis because of this app. Difficult to convince apple fan though, lol

But Home Assistant already has a full-featured official ios app.

estevez · December 26, 2018, 1:08pm

This app is powered by Flutter framework. And Flutter framework is a way to build fast cross-platform apps. So yes, in future I’m planning to optimize it to make it work on iOS as well.

This is a companion app, not fully featured one.

By far the best Home Assistant app, I enjoy it every day.
Already as is its more then sufficient.

Missing just Alarm and few minor things

Are there some instructions somewhere on how to build this app from the source?

estevez · January 13, 2019, 12:19pm

You can download apk right from github. There is no instructions for this app. But you can read about Flutter development environment setup.

Klagio · January 13, 2019, 12:29pm

You think picture-elements will be added in the future?
It’s not so important, since it’s really just a cosmetic upgrade.
Just curious about development.
This is what I have in Lovelace but don’t use it, since I prefer HA Client by far compared to Chrome app

Unfortunately I have an android 5.1 phone, so that doesn’t work. I am quite happy to build it myself, but it would be useful to have some hints on how to set it up.

estevez · January 13, 2019, 1:06pm

But the app works with android 5.0 and higher.

estevez · January 13, 2019, 1:07pm

Definitely I’ll try to add it.

Klagio · January 13, 2019, 1:39pm

Ahh Vacuum too, that also is used, although rarely in my case

gpbenton · January 13, 2019, 4:27pm

Ahh sorry, I was reading targetSDK instead of minSDK.

I would still like to build it myself. Is it just a matter of installing Flutter and using that?

estevez · January 13, 2019, 5:33pm

Yes, should be

pepeEL · January 13, 2019, 7:36pm

When you plan share new version and version tree 0.4.0?

estevez · January 14, 2019, 10:30am

Currently there is no plan at all. All depends on my inspiration and free time

pepeEL · January 14, 2019, 10:43am

Okm becuase on start looks all very good and good support and now all wil be stoped…

estevez · January 14, 2019, 11:00am

Yes, because now I have less inspiration and free time
