I’m looking for ideas to make a limited amount of HA information available to Android users, without necessarily needing them to wade through the default Lovelace dashboard.
At the moment I am using Telegram (posting and sometimes updating channel messages) which is sufficient. But for some cases just an entity state is all that’s needed. Some thoughts:
- I currently don’t need the app installed, although I don’t mind this if required.
- I currently don’t need users to have HA accounts, although I don’t mind this either if required
- A basicically sufficient solution is to install HA and set up widgets. However I do not want this information to take up home screen space (so some kind of widget launcher would be a acceptable).
- A more involved solution would be some kind of custom app that uses HA APIs to display read only data.
- Finally some kind of default custom Lovelace dashboard may also work, provided I can limit the app to only show that data (I have searched by can’t tell if that’s possible without impacting full HA users)
Has anyone managed to achieve what I’m looking for?
