Host computer is an old i7 desktop running proxmox. I don’t think that’s the problem.
I just think a native dashboard in the apps would be better for a bunch of reasons and the Home Assistant project is big enough now to support/warrant it.
Are you are implying that somehow going native gets you faster network transmission speeds?
No. If the components are native they can be loaded immediately without network transmission. The network calls for the current status of entities can happen in parallel and would complete much faster than one large webpage load.
And your standard cards can not be modded with CSS unless you install something 3rd party that allows that.
Pixel Fold. It takes ~2 seconds on gigabit WiFi. Slow 4G networks take a lot longer than 2 seconds. Could be pretty much instant regardless if it was native.
I work in mobile and respectfully disagree with it having no impact on time to show. You might not notice much difference if you are inside your house using gigabit WiFi, but go load your dashboard on a slow 3G/4G network lol
Sure, there is a higher development cost but you get what you pay for in this case. The project already supports native apps for Android, iOS and Mac.
Drag n drop is great but honestly what I want is a native UI on each platform.
I realize that they aren’t reinventing the wheel with the UI updates this year so it’s not really comparable/fair to say but I just want something faster and more responsive (especially on mobile). It seems crazy to me that in 2024 the fastest hardware available still takes a couple seconds to show my dashboard on a cold boot of the app.
I don’t but I have a couple of the presence sensors from the company and like them a lot. They sort of require some tuning but have been quite reliable since.
Apollo AIR-1 seems like a good option. Open source software and hardware.
If you have a zigbee network the aqara leak detector is a good option. It doesn’t require a hub, cloud or any setup. And if you are willing to wait you can get them on AliExpress for a lot cheaper than Amazon.
I’m running 12.2 on “unsupported hardware” (x86 proxmox) without a problem.
