Ratings and reviews

Home Assistant and it's developers work tirelessly to provide a way for devices from multiple brands to truly work together, and Home Assistant is by far the most polished yet customizable attempt so far. A lot of users leaving bad reviews don't seem to understand that this isn't (yet) meant to be a turnkey solution. It's a toolbox for the power user to tinker with their smart home and dial it in exactly the way they want it, which may require some work and light coding along the way.

Recently setup my own Home Assistant using Docker and it is incredibly cool with what the customization allows. I was wondering if the developers of this app could enable the feature to play media from the app, while using other apps. Like if you attempt to play music and switch apps, it will pause and the media isn't recognized by Android in the notification bar. Great app overall.

Trying to get away from cloud-based automation, I installed home assistant on my Synology server, as well as the integration local Tuya. Everything is functioning perfectly. So, I downloaded this app, to control using my phone. The app works well, and it's nicely laid out. However, one star off because widgets are a problem. In essence, when I tap a widget, it does what I want it to do, but then it is replaced by an endlessly spinning arrow. Fix: I have to delete the widget.
