How to keep tabs on GitHub Repositories' new releases of software?
2 projects | /r/androidapps | 11 Apr 2023

Otherwise, I am thinking of just polling the release page (for example https://github.com/home-assistant/android/releases/latest) with some API and checking for changes in the new URL that it redirects to. But this seems quite "dirty" really.

Wear OS not reaching Home Assistant local server through public IP/DDNS over bluetooth when phone is connected to LAN.
1 project | /r/fortinet | 1 Dec 2022

I recently bough a Wear OS smartwatch. Installed Home Assistant app on it and connected to my HA server using my domain name. Now the problem is the smartwatch cannot reach HA server when it is connected to my phone over bluetooth and my phone is connected to my LAN. If my phone is not connected to my LAN it works. Also If I disconnect bluetooth and force the watch to use wifi then it works. This issue is well explained in a bug on github.

That time I forgot to create alerts for a leak sensor
2 projects | dev.to | 20 Feb 2022

I opened up the Home Assistant app on my phone and pulled up the sensor. It had, indeed, worked as designed and clearly showed that the leak started at about 11:30pm the night before… it was currently about 7:30am.
