No haptic feedback/no vibration

Mobile Apps Home Assistant Companion for Android
1

Hi,

All is running lasted available and all works fine and as expected.

But… 1 thing not… vibration feedback.

I can only find 1 option under the user settings:
Vibrate

Enable or disable vibration on this device when controlling devices.

It is enabled, also disabling-enabling does not enable vibration.

Nothing vibrates when pressed…

Any tip?

Any tip? Still no vibration…

so you checked the HA user profile on the device/app itself to make sure vibrate is enabled? By default toggles should vibrate IIRC. Since I assume you dont see that can you try a test using the custom button card and one of the effects listed on this page: Haptics | Home Assistant Companion Docs

This would help pinpoint the issue. Also take a look at the app configuration logs you should see a logging message such as: android/WebViewActivity.kt at 8a8772d5e7a2bd7788a081df8c6b0ef29f7cf44b · home-assistant/android · GitHub because the app relies on it to perform the haptic response.

It use to vibrate but I suddenly see it doesn’t anymore.

Not sure what is meant with this.

And sorry, I do not understand what to do to test further. Do you want me to make a new button or?

Toggle meaning a switch to turn on and off.

Yes make a button and set it to one of haptic variables.

Here is an old example I used when I tested/built the feature

      - type: "custom:button-card"
        color_type: card
        color: rgb(223, 255, 97)
        icon: mdi:volume-minus
        tap_action:
          action: call-service
          service: light.toggle
          service_data:
            entity_id: light.corner_lamp
          haptic: "medium"

Once you click on it you should see the log line I mentioned above and hopefully the vibration effect :slight_smile:

Hm… yesterday it "just’ worked a while. this morning it stopped again.

And sorry I do not understand how to use your card config and where to see the logging:

type: custom:button-card
  color_type: card
  color: rgb(223, 255, 97)
  icon: mdi:volume-minus
  tap_action:
    action: call-service
    service: light.toggle
    service_data:
      entity_id: switch.relay_1_relay_3
    haptic: "medium"

try:

type: custom:button-card
color_type: card
color: rgb(223, 255, 97)
icon: mdi:volume-minus
tap_action:
  action: call-service
  service: light.toggle
  service_data:
    entity_id: switch.relay_1_relay_3
  haptic: "medium"

Logs are founder App Configuration/Companion app > Show and share logs. Same place you enable sensors etc…

Yes, that vibrates. But after going to logging the app stopped responding. Then closing and reopening the app gives me a permanent white screen with blue icon and sending stop responding… no logging able to catch thus.

Any other tips?

EDIT: it responds again. and now buttons are vibrating again. but for how long :slight_smile:
