New Products

Summary

Home Assistant now lets Android users place important smart home controls directly on the homescreen. The app offers seven widget types, including switches, to-do lists, and live camera views. Users can also create matching widgets from within the Companion App for a specific entity. The article notes that setup can be confusing because the configuration menus are not always clear and often require prior knowledge of entity IDs.
