I've already laid the groundwork in Home Assistant itself by implementing the utterly fantastic `mobile_app` component which provides a very secure and featureful integration system for mobile apps.
|
||||
|
||||
Now, i'd like to take a moment to address the elephant in the room: What about the other Android apps that have cropped up to fill the void left without having an official app for so long? The answer is, nothing.
|
||||
The authors of those apps are absolutely welcome to continue to build their apps as they see fit, we at Home Assistant will of course do nothing to stop them or hinder their progress.
|
||||
Authors of third party apps can continue to build their app and provide innovative features that blend phone and Home Assistant. They will be able to leverage the foundation that was put in place for them: the mobile app component.
|
||||
These apps are part of our ecosystem and we don't intend to push them out, but embrace them. The better apps they can offer, the more choice our users have and the better it is for the Home Assistant ecosystem.
|
||||
|
||||
You might be wondering why we are choosing to do this now, other than the previously mentioned constant questions. Recently, we've seen a worrying uptick in the number of apps making poor integration choices or outright horrifying security choices.
|
||||
Furthermore, Home Assistant will always remain free and your privacy is a key part of our mission. Because of that key ideal, we don't like seeing ads in Home Assistant mobile apps as they have been previously shown to not care about your privacy and in some cases be downright dangerous.
