Home Assistant Android App Update: Version 2025.4.3 Released

The latest version of the Home Assistant Android app (2025.4.3) was released last week. This update brings a host of improvements and new features, including a brand-new todo widget, enhanced battery monitoring, and several bug fixes.

• Option to reset the frontend cache

New Features and Improvements

This release introduces several new features to enhance your experience. The new todo widget gives you quick access to your tasks directly from your home screen. Additionally, a battery cycle count sensor has been added to help you monitor device health more effectively.

If you use multiple Home Assistant servers, you can now split device controls into different structures. Support for “?server=name” in homeassistant navigate deeplinks has also been added, making it easier to switch between servers.

Another useful addition is the option to reset the frontend cache, which can help if you encounter issues with the user interface.

Wear OS Enhancements

For smartwatch users, a new thermostat tile for Wear OS has been introduced, allowing you to control your temperature right from your wrist. Checkbox elements in shortcut tile names have also been replaced with switches for a better user experience.

Long-pressing a QS tile now shows more information, giving you more detailed control.

Assist Improvements

The voice assistant has also seen improvements. There is now support for continuing conversations while using the microphone and for intent-progress in Assist.
