Ovio | An alternative native app for Home Assistant
For the past two years I have been working on an alternative app for Home Assistant. When I got into home automation I was quickly drawn to Home Assitant, however, I would have liked a more opinionated UI. I then decided to start a little experiment that grew a bit out of control.
Since it is opinionated, the Ovio app is less customizable. This comes with the advantage that setting the app up is quick.
Please be aware that the app is in an early stage and bugs may be present, if you find some please let me know!

Drag & drop automation canvas
I created a canvas on which you can visually create automations. It integrates natively with Home Assistant automations. For the time being a limited amount of triggers and actions are supported. Let me know which triggers/conditions/actions you would like to see the most!
The video below gives a walkthrough!

The app is still in its early stages and I am very curious to hear your thoughts. I am actively looking for feedback, so any criticism, idea, feature request, or thought is more than welcome!
