Hello all,
I have an old Android tablet I would like to use as wall panel.
It has Android 5.0.1 so the website doesn't work and I cannot make play store to work so I can't download the HA app.
Could someone point me out to get the apk for this version of android in github?
Thanks.

You can also get the minimal version (without Google services) via the F-Droid store.

Thanks for your reply.
So you mean I can install F-Droid in the tablet and use it as app store?
Also I already saw the link you sent with the releases, although I went back to page 100 wich the oldest release is from Nov 2021, but how do I know if that release is for Android 5 or higher? on the release notes I can see "Updates for Android 12" 😅

The docs state Android 5.0 as minimum, so I would assume the newest releases should work as well. Maybe not good, but working.
The Android app has 2 separate flavors full or minimal. Both flavors require Android 5.0 or greater. The full flavor is the one offered via the Play Store and requires Google Play Services in order to function properly. More details on the differences between the 2 flavors can be found here.
Here is the info about full or minimal flavor.

I understand it now.
Thank you very much for your support 😺
