If you want the full Android app, you apparently have to use the Google Play Store version.
No idea what the “full” version on their Github is, the location stuff doesn’t seem to work with it, and it’s smaller then the minimal version.
If there’s no third party Home Assistant app, I may need to look for an alternative to Home Assistant.
I obtained the Play Store version before, but it wasn’t working, might work now. But I shouldn’t need to get the Play Store version for an open source private app to get all features working.
Technically, the Play Store version of Home Assistant app, should be in my Work Profile. Mostly have microG crap for the work apps anyways.
Might not be an alternative to Home Assistant with as good of hardware support.
I did add my HomeKit surge protector to Home Assistant, just needed the pin code, don’t bother scanning the QR code, the pin is on the sticker, you may need to rotate it to see that it has numbers. I took a picture of it.
Well I found a companion app that’s even worse, no APK for download, only from Google Play Store or iOS App store.
Is there a fork of Home Assistant, that is truly private? There shouldn’t even be an app on the App Stores for it.
openHAB might be better, but you may have to read a lot, if you want to customize it. I don’t customize Home Assistant, but I’m used to the interface.
But the location crap might work in the F-Droid version, but no push notifications, they get pulled. Still better then Home Assistant.
But I’m far too lazy to switch.
Hmm, “Geocoded” works in F-Droid version? Well, maybe I can get that work now. Might just need to disable the BS optimization battery.
Don’t know if there’s an easy pay for service for openHAB, that lets you access it remotely without opening ports. No I won’t use CloudFlare, or any free VPN thing. And I don’t want to manage a VPS, might be cheaper in money, but not time. To manage a server correctly, you need to monitor logs somehow, ether manually or automated, if you don’t, well it may get hacked.
And F-Droid version works now for Geocoded. Well, it shows in the app the location, maybe not in Home Assistant elsewhere though yet. Probably need to change minimum accuracy setting.
Also, no minimum accuracy setting in full Github version.
Might just need to wait, was taking a dump, and it shows my location now. Doesn’t say I’m home, probably need the Google Play Store version for that. Don’t care anyways, just want to track my location. Also changed minimum accuracy to 400, might not have been needed.
And the bathroom is more accurate on where I am.
The camera can wait till some other day, to integrate it properly, don’t need Scrypted, the camera saves all recordings to FTP, from itself. Just want to view it, and get motion notifications. Hmm, might have to turn notifications on and off. Don’t even need GPS to do that, just use the Automation app, and when connecting to your WiFi, run the web hook. Already have Rules for that anyways.
You could do it with Home Assistant to, more then one way. If you can look at the Geocoded value, you can use that. Or send it the WiFi you are connected to.
One downside to VPN firewalls, since it’s VPN, and doesn’t use root, the work profile would need the app to filter it too. Well, the easiest way, might be able to setup a proxy and make the work profile use the main profile’s connection. But I’m lazy, so the work profile probably won’t get filtered for a while, if ever. Most if not all the apps I installed need internet anyways, in the work profile. But could be a system app I don’t want connecting to the internet.
But if the app has root, it can bypass any Android firewall, according to the Afwall+ Github. You need a custom ROM, and no incoming calls for me, with a custom ROM.
