Wear OS tiles question

Mobile Apps Home Assistant Companion for Android

Hi there, I’m new to HA, apologies for newbies questions

  1. If I understand it correctly, we cant have individual tiles per entity (like one dedicated to turn on/off my bedroom lights, another one to handle my garage doors etc), instead we can have one Shortcut tile with a max 7 widgets?
  2. I managed to configure Shortcut tile but icons do not reflect current state. For instance, how do I know if my garage door is already open?
2

Yup 7 entities on the tile

There is an existing feature request for this.

I cant find any information anywhere to even get those 7 entities to show up on the watch. I set up my favorites but i can only access them through the app on the watch and I have no idea how to configure the tile. how did you do it?

4

Open the watch app and go to settings at the bottom then setup the shortcut tile there

Dear dzshokouhi,

can you explain in a bit more detail?

6

I can’t get more detailed than that. Did you open the app?

I have a button for a door lock in HA, which will run an automation to open the door lock (currently lock entity only supports lock/unlock on wear os, but not open)

However, when I try to set my shortcut tile, this button does not show up, I don’t even see one single entity.

What am I missing?

8

Do you by chance have the show only favorites option enabled in wear OS app settings?

9

Ha, yes.

Though my lock was a favourite, it didn’t show up.
Showing not only the favourites did the job.

Thanks :slight_smile:
