Traslations

First of all, congratulate yourself for this great work.

It works perfectly and for the alarm in home assistant it is perfect. I'm going to do a tutorial in Spanish for people to use. It is perfect linked to an RF Bridge Sonnoff and NODE RED.

My problem is the following. In the Android app version the Spanish language works, but I do not know how to do it in the androidthings version, but I see that it is implemented from v1.4.4-Beta: How can I make it work in Spanish? On the other hand, are you going to update the new improvements to the androidthings version?  Greetings and congratulate you again.

The translations are already there so there may be a way to change the locale using the Android ADB tool. Changing the wifi using the ADB tool is already outlined in the application documentation, so its a similar process. Perhaps something like this would change the system locale:

adb shell "setprop persist.sys.locale es-ES; setprop ctl.restart zygote"

There will be no more updates to this application for two reasons. First, I think Google plans on ending support for Android Things as they have never updated it to work with the new Raspberry Pi 3 B+, and second, because I found the performance just too slow.

I have since moved on to using Chromium browser in Kiosk mode for showing my home automation dashboards on Raspberry Pi. It's much more responsive.

Hello again: So, is it better to install on a Raspberry or on an Android tablet? Which of the two do you recommend? I have both devices. a greeting

It's far cheaper to install on a low budget tablet than to pay for a Raspberry Pi and touchscreen. The tablet also has the advantage of having a camera. I run the app on a Amazon Fire Tablet.
