Choose your devices

A real Home Assistant has far more entities than a watch can show. In AmazHA every device starts hidden, and you switch on only the ones you want on your wrist.

Step by step

1. 1

   Open Devices

   In the AmazHA settings, tap Devices. After connecting, your rooms are already there, each with how many of its devices the watch shows.

   A long list? Search it

   In a long list, such as Other (where devices without a room go), type in Search. Show all and Hide all then act only on the devices that match.

Tips

• Keep it small. A few dozen devices keep the watch fast, and 100 is the limit: a very large selection can make the watch slow or unstable.
• Added something in Home Assistant? Tap Refresh device list in Devices to see it.
