Hi,

I had previously configured a large widget on my Home Screen that had 8 or 10 actions. These actions were just scenes from within home assistant that were automatically loaded ready for selection within the widget.

I had to re-add my home assistant server (same version). I now appear to have lost the option to configure it in this way. Now when adding an actions widget I am prompted to create a new action in home assistant. This seems pretty tedious and unnecessary, given it used to work exactly as expected. Can anyone tell me if this is required? Seems like I would have to create an actions wrapper around all my scenes, which would be pretty painful to maintain. Thanks

Try the widget builder, all your home assistant scenes are there, you don’t need any extra piece

Unfortunately not for me

Did you open the app and create a widget?

I tried but when i add items there is nothing there

#

#

These are all the scenes that used to work

Try force closing your app and open it again, it’s not normal for the list of things to add to the widget to be empty, if it stays empty, export your companion app logs and send to me via DM

I tired that and also tired uninstalling the app. I may try updating home assistant

It’s something related to the App syncing your entities, don’t forget to share you companion app logs

#

I’ll check tomorrow

#

Not sure if this would be an issue? Everything else working as normal in the app

#

Yeah that’s probably the issue, is your SSL broken? Are you using a valid certificate for your URL?

Hmm, not sure, I’m using traefic in k3s. When i add the server to the app it gives me a warning that i have to click “trust” on, then everything works and i can control all my devices, just widgets don’t work

Broken SSL causes several different issues, you must fix it first, it’s not even safe to keep running like this when you are not at home

Well i am at home, and i use tailscale when im not. But thank you for your help! I will try to see if i can remedy the ssl errors

#

If you use tailscale for remote access why don’t you just use your local IP in the app?

#

Because it’s running in kubernetes and i would prefer to expose it via an ingress which should work rather than ip. I will see if i can fix it, otherwise maybe i will use an ip instead
