I’ve been working on degoogling. i got a fairphone 6 with e/os. its been a great push in the right direction because many google services i previously relied on such as google home dont work.
no worries, ive always wanted to get better with Home Assistant. but devices dont generally advertise if theyre compatable with home assistant. so i got the matter controller for home assistant, great. just arrived yesterday, and tried to add a matter bulb to test it out.
home assistant says i need to be on official android with the home assistant companion app downloaded from the play store, not the fdroid version
🤕
Did it used to work? That sounds more like there’s a lag in the app updating. Likely your HA updated, but the fdroid version is an older version and it wants you to update, but the update isn’t available on fdroid yet so it’s pointing you to the play store
it seemed like home assistant handed me over to some official google matter onboarding app included in android.
maybe this is something they can integrate into home assistant proper eventually?
