I’m getting some fantastic suggestions here in the forum as well as on Github.
I’d like to implement them all and I also have some stuff in mind.

The problem is, that I’m doing a full-time study as well as a full-time job (in a startup) at the moment :see_no_evil:, so I have much less time for the project than I would like to have.

Nevertheless I will try to release new versions on a regular basis, it might just take a while sometimes.

Thank you for all the nice and motivating feedback btw.
That’s really what keeps the project going!

I love it!
Thanks!

64

works really well!!! thank you sir for this contribution!!!

+1 on what @nicholasgriffintn posted above, An All-in-one app for Pi would be awsome!

65

+1 this is really great. works fine on win10

66

Great app. Is this possible to pack it as Hass.io addon? To use with foundation 7in touchscreen on rPi?

67

Unfortunately this won’t work, because the software needs a GUI system. If you could manage to install kde, gnome… on hassio, it could work.

68

Thank you for all the wonderful feedback :grinning:

I just uploaded a new version. It contains tons of bugfixes.
Also a major security issue was found in the version of electron, that I used. The new version is not affected, so I recommend to update quickly. Version 1.10 is safe, older versions are potentially vulnerable.

I just upgraded to 1.10 on one of my Macs (running High Sierra), and am getting the following error when I do a Cmd+Shift+R to reload:

33%20AM

I haven’t upgraded yet on my older iMac running Yosemite, but will when I get a chance later, to see if the problem exists there as well.

70

Just upgraded my Yosemite iMac, and the reload issue exists there as well.

Also, I just noticed there is no option in the menu to quit (and the Cmd+Q hotkey does not work either).

71

Tank you for the report. I will check that later!

EDIT:

https://github.com/matthinc/HomeAssistantElectron/commit/a6c4142b147f9cf219885765e71f0acc9f7eb43a
Will be fixed in the next release

@matthinc im on windows, i just get the login page, log in then a grey screen, any help?

73

hello…any updates?i would like to use the app

74

Hi, sorry for the delay (exams :/)

If you failed to login, you could go to preferences (via the go-menu) and reset the configuration (in case your password was wrong). If this does’t help I would need some more information to fix the issue:

  • Do you connect to HomeAssistant via http or https
  • Do you connect directly via IP/Hostname or DynDNS
  • Whatt app/HomeAssistant/Windows- Version do you use

:sunglasses:

75

no problem, im connecting via htpps, direct from ip https://ip:8123 , im using the latest version 1.1, hassio 0.63.3 and windows 10 1709, hope you can help

76

Do you use a self-signed certificate?

77

yes…i add the http to my config.yaml, try to set up duck dns, but i cant port forward on my router, so i just get there with my local ip:8123

78

Hi i managed to get it working, disabling the HTTPS, i use the conversation component so i need htpps and i can’t port forward my router so i can’t conect to https://user.duckdns.org , insted i use https://IP:8123, so i Guess that’s why i can’t enter like that, Is there a way to get it working with https://IP:8123 ?, It’s a great app so far, one more thing i get a grey bar at the bottom of the page, it would be great to disable this, and hide, the, developer bar too

79

Nice that you managed to get it to work! I just released a little update (https://github.com/matthinc/HomeAssistantElectron/releases/tag/v1.1.2) which disables the certificate-inspection. It SHOULD now work normally, even without your fix.

80

great, it works now, thank you very much, hope you can look, the gray bottom bar, and the option to hide the go,edit,developer, tab, on windows
