The `rss_feed_template` integration can export any information from Home Assistant as a static RSS feed. This can be used to display that information on many types of devices using an RSS reader. While native apps for Home Assistant are not widely available, native RSS readers exist for almost any platform.

For example, on Android, the app "Simple RSS Widget" can be used to display temperatures on the home screen.

```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
rss_feed_template:
  # Accessible on <Home Assistant url>/api/rss_template/garden
  # Example: https://localhost:8123/api/rss_template/garden
  garden:
    requires_api_password: false
    title: "Garden {% raw %}{{ as_timestamp(now())|timestamp_custom('%H:%M', True) }}{% endraw %}"
    items:
    - title: "Outside temperature"
      description: "{% raw %}{% if is_state('sensor.temp_outside','unknown') %}---{% else %}{{states('sensor.temp_outside')}} °C{% endif %}{% endraw %}"
```
