Home Assistant

Mobile control for a Home Assistant setup

Home Assistant is a companion app for people who manage smart home devices through the Home Assistant platform. It puts home controls, device status and automation access on an Android phone, making it useful for checking connected equipment and responding to events while at home or away. The app suits users who want one interface for a mixed smart home rather than separate apps for every device brand.

More than a remote control

The phone can provide information to the home system, including details such as battery level, connectivity, steps and location. These readings can support automations based on whether someone is home, where they are, or how the phone is being used. The app also supports home-screen widgets, giving users quicker access to selected controls without opening the full application.

Built for flexible dashboards

Home Assistant is aimed at users who want to shape their own control interface. Dashboards can bring lights, media devices, sensors and other equipment together in a single view, with the level of detail chosen by the user. That flexibility is helpful for larger or more varied setups, although newcomers may need time to understand the platform and configure it to their needs.

Adoption and overall fit

With 1,000,000+ installs and a 4.21/5 rating from 12,442 reviews, the app has a substantial Android user base. It is developed by Home Assistant and listed in the House & Home category. Choose it if you already use Home Assistant or want a mobile companion for a customizable, privacy-focused smart home system rather than a simplified single-brand controller.
