It’s a pity that it is still not available.
Hope it will come soon.

Don’t hold your breath… nothing has been started. I don’t think there has even been a conversation. Just use chrome

While I have not tested this yet, I believe Windows 11 can, or will soon be able to, run Android apps. Not sure how natively that will run (meaning sensors for Windows machine and notifications) but it may be enough for some.

I use this GitHub - mrvnklm/homeassistant-desktop: 🎛 Desktop application (Windows / macOS / Linux) for Home Assistant built with Electron but unfortunately it doesn’t support sensors. The ability to access Hass through the tray is awesome and really useful. Currently it does have some bug that causes it to lockup on Windows 11, not resolved yet.

Check out this new windows app that supports sensors.
I’ve tried a few others like IoTLink and Hass workstation service but this one I like best so far:

HASS.Agent: Windows client to receive notifications, use commands, sensors, quick actions and more!

Hi everyone, After using Home Assistant for a few years and being very happy with it, I finally have something to share with the community! It’s a Windows-based application (companion app) that communicates with- and adds functionality to Home Assistant, called: HASS.Agent Help is wanted and very much needed for maintaining the code base, but also to help the community. Please read for more information: lab02-research.org/2023-04-01-help-wanted HASS.Agent is in need of your help!…

Thank you for the plug @freakshock! And happy to answer any questions. There’s a feature-wishlist on the GitHub page, but let me know if you have other/better/novel ideas.
