To Reproduce Log in as a non admin and attempt to relate a new widget. Widget editor will appear but you can not add devices
Expected behavior I expect to be able to search and add devices to the widget
Screenshots
Additional context
Custom widgets are available starting on iOS17+, since you are in iOS 16 it won't work.
If I misunderstood please let me know and also share screenshots to what you see in the app.
Sorry didn’t detail that we are on ios18 The 16 statement above is a capture from home assistant “settings” “about” not the iOS version on the iPad or phone
Oh got it, so please provide me a screen recording to what you see when you open "Companion App settings > Widgets > Create Widget" and play a bit with that screen so it displays the issue you are describing.
No problem, attached is me trying to create a widget on my son’s iPad.When I try to add devices none show up even though he can control devices and access them on the main home page.His access level is a normal user not adminHis iOS is iPadOS 26.0NickSent from my iPadOn 14 Jul 2025, at 10:11, Bruno Pantaleão Gonçalves @.***> wrote:bgoncal left a comment (home-assistant/iOS#3715) Btw, it was my mistake to read OS as Phone OS, you are completely right

I cant create widgets... What log from debug do you need?

I found a workaround- by making the user an admin you can log in as them and create a widget for them and then once created remove their admin status. I personally think it would be better if an admin could create the widgets for the other users because invariably the other users aren’t technically wanting to get into setting things up they are just users.
