HKI 7 v1.3.0

NEW
• NFC tags: read and write Home Assistant tags from Settings › NFC tags. Tags work with both HKI 7 and the official app, and a tap fires the tag_scanned event your automations listen for
• Tags also work while HKI 7 is closed: the scan is reported in the background without the app opening, just like the official app
• TidyShop family shopping lists in the to-do widget, synced live between everyone in the household (Settings › Connected apps)
• Maps now use OpenStreetMap, and are darkened to match dark themes
• The watch can explore an offline demo home, no phone or server needed

FIXED
• Android Auto no longer says it can't reach Home Assistant until you open the app on your phone
• Energy no longer drops tariff 2 when tariff 1 is also used as the total, and watt values are formatted correctly
• Security entities you assign yourself can now be in more than one group (e.g. Doors and Windows)
• Shared dashboards restore Clock widgets saved by older versions
• Notification images using a Home Assistant media address now load
• The pull-down header no longer closes while scrolling its buttons
• The people list on a room no longer closes right after opening

NOTE: To have a tag work while HKI 7 is closed, write it from HKI 7 with Read tags while HKI 7 is closed switched on (the default). Tags written by the official app keep opening the official app; write them again with the same ID to switch them over.

NOTE: TidyShop needs the TidyShop app and a self-hosted TidyShop connector. HKI 7 shows and ticks off the family lists, but lists and invites are made in TidyShop.

HKI 7 v1.2.0

NEW
• Android Auto support, control entities from your car dashboard*
• WearOS support, control entities from your watch

NOTE: Android Auto support ONLY works when installing HKI 7 from the Play Store, this is a limitation by Google and not something we can bypass. If you need Android Auto support you should install the Play Store version.

HKI 7 v1.1.3

NEW
• Energy can show a three-phase connection importing and exporting at once, for solar on a single phase

FIXED
• Safer Home Assistant session recovery prevents simultaneous authentication failures from triggering an IP ban
• 403 Forbidden responses now pause retries and point to Home Assistant's IP ban or proxy settings
• Long greetings and page titles now resize correctly and stay on one line on narrow screens
• Play installs are no longer told about a release Play cannot install yet

HKI 7 v1.1.2

FIXED
• Returning from Home Assistant Settings, Developer tools or HACS now restores where you were in HKI 7 Settings
• Local Home Assistant discovery and connections now work on Android 17. Settings › Connection shows whether local network access is allowed, and can ask for it at any time
• Permission tiles in Settings now update as soon as you come back from granting one, instead of waiting until Settings is reopened

HKI 7 v1.1.1

NEW
• Clock widget — analog or digital, seven designs, with your next alarm on tap
• Open Home Assistant's Settings, Developer tools and HACS in-app (admins)
• Update notifications if you installed outside the Play Store
• Your next alarm now reports to Home Assistant

FIXED
• Back returns to the page you came from, every time
• Media players show what is playing, not just the app
• Temperature and energy readings in Czech, Slovak, Greek, Norwegian, Swedish and Danish
