Hi all,
I’m quite new to HA, before writing this topic I triend to found some advise on the Web but all of them were involving the right configuration of the companion app on the mobile device. I followed all the suggestions (i.e. for getting the right to execute in background, to avoid battery saving issues, etc.) but what I have so far is that the App doesn’t report correctly all the enabled items to the server.
And this seems depending on the mobile phone, on S20/S22 is quite good but for example on Samsung M13/Redmi /A only some items are correctly reported but others appears as “unknown” where instead if you look on the App they have a correct Value.
Any clue? Something I missed to check? The strange point as said is that only some of them are updated correctly other not.
thanks for your feedback but I’m monitoring for several days and also trying to trigger some sensors to update (i.e. like disconnecting the WiFi for example and reconnecting it) but no change reported on the server (an RPI) whereas locally on the App they’re correctly updated.
I had a check on the logs but it seems that beside the location updates and step sensor in the logs the other sensors/parameter dosn’t explicitly appear. Btw also on the location update the log were diffferent on S20 (working) and Redmi7A w/o a real reason. So I uninstall the HA App on the Redmi and when installed again I got the updates.
In any case there are several parameters not correctly exported by this model (Redmi7A) like the WiFi signal which is always = -1dBm or the WiFi Frequency always = 0 but this is another problem not related to the topic I opened.
there is no set schedule but we may be cutting a release soonish not sure on the date.
yes some devices do not play well with the new APIs while others do which is why we had to keep using the deprecated methods. No 2 android manufacturers implement things the same unfortunately. Not all manufacturers follow android documentation.
