Font size in companion app keeps getting smaller

After some period of time having the companion app open, the font size gets smaller. If I force terminate and restart, it goes back to normal. Time before it gets smaller is highly variable. Measuring a large character, in this screenshot, it’s 84 px high when big, 68 when small, so gets about 20% smaller.

I’m using a Pixel 8. Doesn’t happen with any other apps.

Anyone else experiencing this or have a solution?

tahts very strange, any custom cards you have installed?

I’ve seen this as well - temp font change across the entire app… Not just the cards. It’s weird…It hasn’t happened in weeks for me. But yes, I have ABSOLUTELY seen this. If I see it again I’ll grab a log.

Couple mushroom cards, that’s all

ill be honest, those changes look subtle and may not be easy to notice. Does it happen only in the dashboard or also in teh companion app settings screen?

Settings… The Whole app. It’s proportional as well like a scaling issue.

Yeah, it’s the entire app. The spacing doesn’t change, but the font size does, it’s pretty obvious to me when it happens because the font is no longer the same size as the system font used everywhere else on my phone.

remember not dashboard settings but specifically

Settings > Companion app and screens under this specific sub menu which are screens that are app controlled.

The rest of the screens are all HA frontend/Webview.

Ahh, ok. I’ll check next time it happens, not sure.

Oh im aware. It’s the whole shebang, D… Doesn’t appear to affect the Auto UI when connecting

ok can one of you guys please open a bug on github attaching a few screenshots from the dashboard and also the apps settings screen so we can see the differences here?

Of course, it happened 3 times in a few hours right before I started this thread, but hasn’t happened again since then. As soon as it happens again & I can get a screen shot of the companion app settings screen, I’ll make a bug report.



Screenshots before and after pausing/unpausing the app. This happens to me several times per week. Small font is before restarting.

I experience the same problem with my Pixel 8 phone. I found this thread while looking for a solution…
