Home Assistant Customer Insights

1. One feature wishlist item- could the battery level be a separate sensor entity like in the iOS app? I use a template sensor now but wouldn't mind not having the extra config.Great app, really miss "enable all sensors" though.

2. Hope to have that back though.App is great and would have been 5 stars, but the recent update that added Android 11 power menu buttons changed how location is reported.

3. Is there a way to curate the screen to have the info that is important from the car?High Accuracy Mode: It doesn't make sense to have an option to turn on high accuracy mode when IN a zone.

4. Thanks for that you inconsiderate full color spectrum seeing jerks.The quick access via the power button doesn't work anymore consistent.

5. 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.Great app.

6. Sort of understand why it was removed, but doesn't make it any less inconvenient to everyone that wants to enable all sensors (or most of them) and doesn't justify totally removing that altogether.

7. As a note, I've found that disabling battery optimization for the app in my phone's system settings helps the location to report properly in the background.

8. I've also found it helps to install GPS Status & Toolbox to improve the location accuracy while in the background.

9. I notice that it looses connection a lot, even when I'm on the same network as my Home Assistant is, and suddenly the Battery and WiFi sensors disappeared.

10. I was using only lights and scenes as power menu tiles.While the app by itself works fine, the latest update is a bit "temperamental".

11. 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.
