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
🤕
are you confusing google home and home assistant?
smart light control. open front door via phone if i dont have my keys. potential automations like when cats use robot litterbox, run the roomba to pick up litter off the floor
it would be nice to degoogle, but still have some of life’s conveniences
honestly probably wouldnt be the end of the world to have a cheap android laying around just to onboard new devices. im just still disappointed
