I’ve moved house and my home assistant server has been off for over 2 months now but the Android app keeps connecting and saying it’s connected. I thought it would show the true nature of my server; as in offline; and not the Nabu Casa connection. Does anyone know?
I do not use NabuCasa, but my own VPN and my HA hardware crashed, so forn2 weeks it was offline, but it also kept reporting as connected.
The entire hardware had died and was physically removed from the network.
thats very interesting are you guys referring to the persistent connection? If so then that means we got some valid response back. Can you guys do me a favor and pull the companion app logs so we can confirm that?
It is a notification in Android that state it.
My HA is online again, but once we get to the other side of the weekend then I can shut it down and provide some screenshot and log dumps.
Yes I presume it is the persistent connection, as soon as I open the app it says its unable to connect. Its also using more battery than before.
Not quite a notification it’s a foreground service, if you are not using it I suggest turning off the feature as it can drain battery
That feature is known to be a source of battery drain
My concern is that most people see this notification is that their server is online through nabu casa, when I fact its just connected to nabu casa, even when your servers down. Its misleading and almost pointless, it should be the sum of both connections.
Can’t help without the logs I requested earlier. Please file an issue on GitHub with the requested logs so the team can look into it. The fact that the notification remains means the API connected successfully regardless of the server status we got the expected response.
