Check in on your home or office from your smartphone using the Home Assistant Companion App. It turns your iOS or Android device into a smart home/office command center, giving you quick access to dashboards and controls, plus extra power like phone sensors (battery, network, location) and push notifications that can be used in automations.
Manual light switches create friction. Someone has to remember which rooms need bright light, mood light, or darkness. Worse, the last person out might forget to turn everything off, so the office burns energy all night.
If you manage more than one Home Assistant server (e.g. home + office, holiday house, or multiple client sites), you don’t need multiple phones.
The Home Assistant Companion App supports multiple servers, and there are a couple of clean ways to keep things separated depending on your privacy needs.
