Hello, I am trying to use the companion app for the first time. My HA is already able to be accessed from outside, and I added mobile_app: to my config.yaml
But the app is not connecting and it says that I should ensure that I added the mobile_app part to mi config.
What should I do?
Hi. SOrry I was in a hurry and did not add a lot of details.
HA version is 0.103.4, its Hass.io running under docker i Ubuntu
I did restart after adding mobile_app

Those are the logs, doesnt say anything about app.
i am using a custom ROM (/e/) without Google Play services (which means in many cases apps that require Play services and GCM donāt work or some features donāt work).
I get the same error when trying to login to HA for the first time after installation ,but if i terminate the app and restart, it does log me in.
(the only issue I face is that it does not add default mobile device_tracker - working on resolving this at the moment).
I have the same problem, Iām using MicroG instead of Gapps and mobile_app integration is not working.
I can confirm that after killing the android app and starting it again, the app is working but there is no mobile_app integration in HA.
It would be nice to have an app which does not relay on Gapps, since the first sentence on home-assistant.io is:
Awaken your home
Open source home automation that puts local control and privacy firstā¦
Despite I have google account added to microG, google cloud messaging enabled and confirm new apps disabled, phone is not registered or integrated.

[/quote]Exactly. If not this thread, I would not suspect that the issue is with too much dependance on google servicesā¦
actually in my case I had to āDisableā the Confirm new Apps option (not enable).
the device not registering may be a micro G issue. Though that doesnāt take away the dependence of HA on Google services, since in my case even after registering it doesnāt work.
to trouble shoot microG, can you download āPush Notification Testerā app and see if it registers to GCM and receives push notification?
Also, does the microG Self test display all options as ācheckedā or not?
Got it registered after adding mobile_app: to the config (had default_config: from the beginning), and clearing (again) HA app. One of this two done the job.
Unfortunately, as youāve previously stated, push notifications does not work. Iāve ended up installing HassKit to get the notifications working. Other apps such as Ariela might work fine as well.
in the self test not all are checked,
Play Store installed, is not, I have aurora store which is not seen by Microg, but I donāt think is a problem.
Storage permissions are also missing and canāt be fixed, I granted all requested permissions in the microg app setting
Iām also using microG and noticed tracking didnt work. I tried clearing appdata and loggin in again, after which i countered the same āunable to register applicationā error. Thanks for the tip, forcing the application to close did work.
I just updated my android app and now everything works \o/ I got an popup asking for permission for location access, the integration is added, and i finally got battery/location/wifi sensors!
