AmazHA - a native Amazfit (Zepp OS) companion app for Home Assistant

Hi all,

I'd like to share a project I've been working on: AmazHA, a native companion app that lets you control Home Assistant from an Amazfit watch.

The goal was a watch app that feels like part of Home Assistant rather than a bolt-on: your home is organised by area, and each entity gets a proper control screen.

What it does today

- Control screens for lights, switches, climate, covers, vacuums, locks, media players, fans and alarm panels

- Run scenes, scripts and buttons

- Camera snapshots on the watch

- A user-defined Favorites area

- Local + remote URLs with automatic LAN-first failover

- Optionally push watch health/activity data into HA as sensors (heart rate, SpO2, steps, calories, sleep, stress, etc.) to use in automations

- Translated in 12 languages

Design notes

I leaned on the action-centric, per-entity icon+colour style so it's quick to read and operate on a small screen, and I put effort into launch speed and smooth scrolling.

Devices

Wide Zepp OS coverage, square and round: GTS 4, GTR 4, T-Rex 3 / 3 Pro / Ultra / Ultra 2, Balance / 2 / 3 / Ultra, Cheetah (Round/Square/Pro/2 Pro/2 Ultra), Active / 2 / 3 Premium / Max, Falcon, Bip 6, Bip Max.

Availability

Free live demo on sample data; the real HA connection is a one-time unlock (no subscription). Available on the Zepp App Store ("AmazHA").

I'd really value feedback from this community — especially on which entity types or workflows you'd prioritise next. Thanks!

Introducing Material Home Assistant

Hello everyone! 🏠

I wanted to share with you a project that another developer and I have been hard at work on for two years now. It all started from a personal need: I wanted to combine the power of Home Assistant with the look of the Google Home app (following the Material Expressive 3 guidelines).

Thus was born Material Home Assistant, a suite of tabs and pop-ups designed to create a coherent, elegant, and above all 100% responsive dashboard (that looks great on a phone, a wall-mounted tablet, or a PC).

📚 Useful Links and Documentation

If you'd like to take a look at the code or try it out (you can also find all the previews in light/dark mode on the website), here are our links:

As I was saying, we're just two guys who are pursuing this project out of pure passion. If you'd like to try it (you can find the free version by searching for "Material Home Component" on HACS), let us know what you think. Any constructive feedback is precious to us.

Live Preview Theme Editor — Now Available!

Hey, I’ve been working on something to help me design Home Assistant themes for a while. It has always been a pain to refresh changes after every modification or deal with fiddly browser settings. I decided to share it for free; enjoy!

I’ve also added support for some popular custom cards, although it may not work with everything. It can also generate demo data for your entities on the fly.

Home Assistant security system - hardware recommendations??

I have just started a brand new home assistant setup after my old HA failed (Iv done another post about this)

One of the things I’d like to achieve this time that I never did on my old setup is to set up a security system.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated especially when it comes to hardware, mainly I’d love to have an alarm pad with a keypad to put a PIN number in to disable the alarm and an arm button…. (Ideally I’d like 2 alarm pads one at the front door and one at the back door)

I have some aqara PIR sensors on zigbee and some RF window/door sensors that do open/closed sensing etc but I’m not against replacing these if there is a better solution

I am looking at replacing some if not all the PIR sensors with mmWave sensors in the future for increased presence sensing especially in areas where low movement causes false results such as in the toilet if someone is sat to long, in the bedroom or living room if someone is sat watching tv.

All help and advice or hardware recommendations welcome.

Many Thanks

HOMEPOD MINI as Thread Border Router problems

I have a HomePod mini that functions as a BorderRouter.
It worked very well for months... then recently had problems.
The HomePod is connected to the network and in HA with the integration Apple TV.

the problem is that sometimes it disappears completely as a border router, sometimes it comes back and works, sometimes it comes back but the connected devices (Matter over thread) are offline.

when it is present as a border router and I restart HA then in most cases… it goes away and then comes back when it decides

I am using HA OS on my miniPC.
