Home Assistant Companion Android App Release 3.0.0

Blog

It’s been partially broken for me since the previous release: https://streamable.com/gia6if the app is completely frozen when resuming it either from the multitask screen or the launcher. It has to be closed before it can be used again. I’m not technical enough to report this on the GitHub page.

check that android system webview is up to date and that all custom cards are up to date

Thanks for the suggestion. Webview is up to date, while HACS is installed, the only thing in use is Google Dark Theme. I’ve just noticed that the app exhibits the same behaviour when entering and then leaving the app configuration item. This has only started happening in the last few updates, it worked fine before that.
Pixel3a. Android 11.
Note - the app functions normally, until you press the home button or enter and leave the app configuration menu

Love the TTS message!
Now I can finally wake her up when she falls asleep while putting our smallest in bed.
Just TTS a message with channel: alarm_stream_max to her headphones.
This is going to be fun! :smiley:

This error shows up when the widget attempts to update and the connection to your HA server fails.

25

Ehm… all my widget are gone after auto update of my app on android… how come and how to solve?

26

Thanks, but I’m not using any widgets! :thinking:

27

It is described in the blog post.

28

Read the blog post that you just commented on to see why?

29

Can you check the manage widget screen? Delete any that are there, if any. If not create a bug on GitHub.

30

They are in that screen but not in my android screen anymore.

Edit: I cannot recreate a widget to toggle a lock…

31

I was waiting for the alarm_stream notification feature. I found I also needed to enable Lockscreen Sounds in Android (11) settings. Now my doorbell always comes through immediately. Awesome!

P. S. Is this worth a mention in the docs?

Yes we mentioned in the blog post to expect this and we also mention to delete the widgets from the manage widget screen if they do not exist on the home screen.

You should open a github issue with all relevant information to investigate it properly

34

Thanks! There was one widget in the list, but I never created it. After deleting it, the toast stopped showing up :slight_smile:

It may have been an old widget that was lost from the beginning, as you create widgets in the app we store it to a DB which is how we are able to edit them. When a widget is removed from the home screen we get notified and delete those from our DB. However, if the widget was lost we don’t and end up in a mismatch which is why the delete button exists.
