This in NOT an official Home Assistant Android app!

An active development of this app has stopped as now the only advantage it has over the official app is native UI that is very far from completeness. Please migrate to official Home Assistant application. It is improved significantly.

Main features:
- Lovelace UI support including dashboards
- Actionable notifications
- Location and phone battery state tracking
- Next phone alarm as sensor

Supported Lovelace UI Cards:
- Alarm panel
- Button
- Conditional
- Entities
- Entity filter
- Gauge
- Glance
- Horizontal stack
- Light
- Markdown
- Media control
- Vertical stack

Unsupported cards will be displayed as Entities card or Button card.
