Hi, I’ve always connected to my Home Assistant instance via an HTTP Client Certificate with the browser and the Home Assistant app (and also from Wear OS).
However, with the latest version of the Android app (v2026.3.2-full), I noticed that if the app is not running it fails 2 times before logging in and displaying the dashboard. I never noticed that before, normally it just needed 1 tap on the retry hyperlink, never 2.
You can see it on the screen capture animation below.
After closing the app manually (with the task manager) and reloading, I get the Unable to connect to Home Assistant error and I have to tap 2 times on Retry now. Then, if I run the app again, it loads correctly. Every time.
If I load the same URL with the browser, it asks for the certificate and then logs in directly, so I don’t think this is due to the server configuration (nginx). I can say that because with previous versions it always worked correctly and I didn’t change the HA core version or nginx!
Also, when looking at my Wear OS tile on a Galaxy Watch 4, sometimes I get an error due to the network switch. With the previous Android app versions, after tapping the Refresh icon below the tile once, it loaded the data from HA. But with this version it’s more “lazy” there too… and multiple taps on refresh button don’t actually load the data. I have to open the phone app and then the watch tile refreshes correctly after tapping.
I’ve tried looking at the debug logs (Settings > Companion app > Troubleshooting > Show and share logs) but I cannot spot any relevant message about this issue. Do anyone notice the same behaviour?
