Launching Andoid apps from Companion App

Mobile Apps Home Assistant Companion for Android

Hi there

Is there a way to launch an existing app on the phone via a service or intent? I’d like to be able to directly launch an app on button press.

Any ideas would be much appreciated!

Thanks

Just came out in the most recent version earlier this week.

Yeah, saw that. I guess what I’m actually wanting to do is more a Frontend thing rather than the Companion App.

Anybody know if this is possible?

Thanks

the only way you can talk to the app currently is via notification
