Slower than web interface and randomly crashes

Months later, new versions just keep getting worse. Bloated and unreliable excrement
Typical of the pathetic, half finished, badly designed, poorly thought out mess that Frenks Fan Club produces.
STILL no security or decent multi user capability.
The entire home assistant system can only be described as the best of a (very) bad lot.
Every update just brings a different set of bugs, usually without fixing anything meaningful.

Thanks for reporting the issue, in here I cannot help you, but if you reach out to our official support channels like discord or github I can help you out.

One to rule them all

Home Assistant is the smart home platform I've been hunting for 10+ years.

Apple Home? Check. Google Home? Check. Alexa, SmartThings? All tried them. None deliver what HA does: total control over your devices without compromising privacy.

The killer feature: Everything runs locally. Your data stays yours. No cloud dependency. No telemetry mining. This is what smart home should feel like.

Warning: HA is powerful, which means it's not plug-and-play easy. Invest the time to learn it but you won't regret it.

Massive respect to the developers keeping this open, local-first without compromising privacy. 🙌

Bluffant

Incroyable, je n’avais pas imaginĂ© la puissance de cet outil. J’en suis au tout dĂ©but et je m’émerveille tous les jours du potentiel de HA. C’est bluffant. Bravo Ă  tous ceux qui ont permis de dĂ©velopper une telle application.

Thank you!

Best app for the job

Always making improvements it’s really a great ecosystem

Internal/external IP issue

For those that don’t leave location services enabled or don’t want to give location permission to everything, please allow a simple manual switch from internal to external IP or implement a simple failover, if internal doesn’t work try external before fail.

App doesn’t pick correct internal/external state without location services.

Thanks. Great app otherwise.

Fails to connect to my green

I can connect via browser from my phone but not from the app on my phone. No option to manually enter address just sits there counting down from 60 after failure.

Nice but


Amazing features but they move things around making website and YouTube information inaccurate.

Love it

Possibly the best app for home automation

Invasive permissions

Requires always on location to use internal url. If you don’t give it access to your location 24/7, it will only connect using the external url. Which is slow.

Steep learning curve for 86yr old! 🙄

Each update helps as well as secret use of AI

Rien Ă  voir avec Jeedom !

AprĂšs environ 5 ans de Jeedom, j'ai tentĂ© l'aventure Home Assistant en bravant tous ceux qui estimaient que les automatisations de H.A. n'Ă©taient pas Ă  la hauteur. Alors oui, il faut oublier ses repĂšres et en crĂ©er d'autres, mais aujourd'hui l'expĂ©rience est plus que positive ! J'avais conservĂ© les 2 systĂšmes actifs pendant un moment, mais maintenant plus question de revenir en arriĂšre. Les Ă©volutions sont constantes, trĂšs frĂ©quentes avec Home Assistant, avec des dĂ©veloppeurs Ă  l'Ă©coute et un systĂšme qui s'amĂ©liore sans jamais ralentir. Les dashboards sont trĂšs faciles Ă  mettre en place et superbes. Point qui m'a sĂ©duit fortement : la qualitĂ© des Ă©changes sur les forums et des tutos. Fini les forums oĂč un "membre de Jeedom" vous rĂ©pond avec suffisance "lisez la documentation, tout est dedans ! ". Oui sans doute, mais un p'tit coup de main est parfois nĂ©cessaire... Que vous demarriez de zĂ©ro ou avec quelques expĂ©riences sur Jeedom par exemple, n'hĂ©sitez plus : foncez !! Le jeu en vaut vraiment la chandelle !

Cannot connect

I appreciate that this is a free app. Having said that, it should be able to connect and maintain a connection to Home Assistant. This has never worked reliably and the worst is that now it just goes into a death spiral of retries with literally no other controls on the screen to get it out of this endless cycle.

Widget customisation still poor

Simple widget, open/closed door sensor. The most important part “open/closed” isn’t customisable and is smallest part of the widget. Dynamic colour change would be nice please. The rest of the app is great! Only 3 stars because when everything is running ok I hardly ever open the app, widgets should be the first line of alert.

Thanks for the feedback

The ultimate smart control platform

Configuration meets you where you are. Point and click through the GUI, or drop straight into YAML when you want real control, and both work equally well. The design is genuinely polished, fast and clear on every screen. It stays connected, responds instantly, and just keeps running without babysitting.

Terrible

Highly don’t recommend

It’s simply the best.

It’s better than all the rest. It’s better anyone. Anyone I ever met. I’m stuck in your heart. I hang on to every word you say. Tear us apart?? No, no.. Baby, I would rather be dead. -Tina Turner
