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.

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.

While the app by itself works fine, the latest update is a bit "temperamental". 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. I hope truly that this can be fixed, because I think it is a great addition to Home Assistant. Specifically the fact, that it updates location. Please keep up the good work! And I hope that more sensors will be added. In Hass Logs: [homeassistant.components.mobile_app.webhook] Refusing to update non-registered sensor
