Home Assistant’s Android app adds configurable one-finger swipes from the left and right edges of its page. Each can use an existing gesture action, including opening the sidebar, giving people another way to reach controls without using multiple fingers.

Both start with no action assigned. An option is hidden when Android reserves that edge for system navigation; its saved action is kept if the owner switches back to button navigation. Ordinary scrolling and touches away from the edges do not trigger the shortcut.

The addition is mmihaylov00’s first contribution to the Android app.
