Description

@jsdfhasuh

Home Assistant Android app version(s): 2026.2.1

Android version(s): 16

Device model(s): Honor Magic 8

Home Assistant version: 2025.12.4 (Core) / Supervisor 2026.1.1 / OS 17.0

Description of problem:

When accessing Home Assistant through the Android app via external network (mobile data), the connection fails.

Network configuration:

  • Direct connection via DDNS (no reverse proxy, no Nginx)
  • IPv6 only: DDNS resolves to IPv6 address (AAAA record)
  • URL format: http://[your-domain] or https://[your-domain] (direct IPv6)

Connectivity test results:

  • ✅ Internal URL (WiFi/LAN): Working
  • ✅ External URL via Mobile Browser: Working (Chrome loads the page)
  • ❌ External URL via Home Assistant App: Fails to connect

Key observation: The app fails to connect via IPv6 on mobile data, while the browser on the same device connects successfully. This suggests the app's network stack (WebView/OkHttp) may have IPv6 connectivity issues or different handling compared to Chrome.

Error message: ``
