Ava Pro · Home Assistant's Android Companion

For more practical guides, visit the Wiki.

native Android platform built specifically for Home Assistant. A single, lightweight installation on existing devices replaces standalone ESP32 Bluetooth proxy, dedicated satellite voice receiver, intercom hardware.

It connects via the standard ESPHome API Officially certified secure millisecond-level protocol. No MQTT, no HACS, and no custom integration required.

Features

dominate screen: Ava Pro runs as a background service. Voice feedback, clock, weather, media controls, and quick switches appear as floating overlays above any app you're currently using. They're disposable, and you retain control of your device.
overheat device: The core engine is written in native C++, not wrapped in a browser container. Even on a wall-mounted tablet, idle CPU usage is near zero. Multiple devices that have been running on the wall for years have shown no overheating issues.
compatible with virtually any device: Supports Android 5.0 to 16. It runs on old Fire tablets, retired phones, car infotainment systems, smart mirrors, and single-board computers.
All functions can be disabled: Device's Bluetooth chip too weak? Simply disable the Bluetooth proxy. Don't need intercom? One-click deactivation. Just want a pure voice satellite? Cut it down to voice only. Each module is completely decoupled, enabling only the functions your device can handle.

Capabilities

Voice — C++ inference pipeline. Custom wake words, dual wake support. Acoustic echo cancellation (wake works while music plays). Local voiceprint recognition (<120ms, distinguishes family members, filters TV audio). Ambient sound detection (glass break, baby cry, doorbell, alarm, siren). All processed on-device.
Bluetooth — ESPHome BLE proxy. IRK private address resolution. RSSI distance filtering with away-delay presence. Screen-off scanning. Extends Bluetooth coverage to every room where a device is placed. No ESP32 required.
Audio — LAN room-to-room intercom and voice messaging. Sendspin multi-room sync with Music Assistant, 5.4-level lossless. Audio continues uninterrupted across overlay transitions.
Display — Multi-layer overlays in one process. Floating panels, animated notification scenes, Stream Deck–style quick entities, Dawn magazine screensaver with Smart AOD and Pixel Shift. Optional Home Launcher mode.
Camera — Native binary direct pipeline. Zero-latency, no HTTP bridge, no frame buffering. Snapshots and motion detection as Home Assistant sensors.
Sensors — Native ESPHome environment pipeline. Light, magnetic field, proximity, battery, Wi‑Fi, storage, memory, uptime. Foreground service keeps updates alive with screen off. Light + proximity fusion for adaptive wake.
Fleet — UDP LAN discovery + ADB. Remote screen control, shell, logs, config push. Passcode and authorized deep-link access. One console for every device in the house.
Mods — DexClassLoader runtime loading. Offline ZIP import. Install and use directly: DLNA renderer, AirPlay receiver, Edge TTS (400+ voices), offline STT engine, Zigbee gateway, biometric auth, GPS, OpenClaw on-device AI, camera RTSP/MJPEG to NVR, device packs (Echo Show, Portal, Phicomm R1…). Install, update, or remove without touching the core.
