About:
The Home Assistant Companion App provides a seamless bridge between your mobile device and your Home Assistant instance. It enables real-time sensor data tracking, such as battery level, GPS location, and Bluetooth connections, directly to your home automation system. This allows for the creation of powerful automations triggered by device states and user presence.
|
Key Features:
- Real-time sensor integration (GPS, battery, connectivity)
- Actionable notifications with two-way response
- Quick Settings tiles for immediate automation control
- Local execution support via Wear OS and Android Auto
|
Use Cases:
- Automating lights and climate control based on your precise location (geofencing)
- Using your phone as a presence detection tool for security systems
- Controlling smart home devices directly from your smartwatch or car
|
Alternatives:
-
Home Assistant Web UI
– The web UI offers full dashboard access but lacks native sensor integration and background location tracking.
-
Node-RED
– Node-RED is a visual automation tool that requires a separate server installation and does not interface directly with mobile hardware sensors.
