How to select a different server?

Mobile Apps Home Assistant Companion for Android

I have two HA instances, and have added them via Settings > Companion App. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to switch between them in the Android app. I see screenshots for IOS where there is a pull up menu, but does this work on Android? I was expecting to see in the hamburger menu an option for the server …

yes

the apps do not control the HA hamburger menu

you can also create shortcuts to each server to live on your home screen if you think that might be faster

Thanks, this worked for me. I don’t do swiping, I find it incredibly awkward. I tried 3 finger swiping and none of it worked on my OnePlus device (Android 14).

OnePlus uses gestures for other things, those would need to be disabled for it to work.

I looked into that, I never use them. I turned them off and kind of got this to work. I just end up pressing dashboard buttons inadvertently!
