Hi,
I use homeassistant also.
The issue for unlabeled buttons can be tracked at https://github.com/home-assistant/frontend/issues/3267 it could do with some input from others.
There appears to be a few screenreader users of HA. Would there be any interest in setting up a low traffic list to discuss accessibility issues with HA?
If we all get together perhaps we can help to drive the accessibility effort forward.
Cheers
Bart

I've done it. It's challenging but doable, though I'd hardly call it accessible. You basically have to find and memorize buttons since none are labelled.
Despite the inaccessibility of the web UI, the platform itself is pretty solid. There's a CLI that lets you do most of what the web interface does, and given that it's API-driven, missing functionality can be added. I'd recommend giving that a try.

Hello,
Are there some people here who use HomeAssistant (https://www.home-assistant.io/) to control their smart home devices?
If yes, are there some tips to be able to use it with Orca to control devices and configure?
On their GitHub they have created an "Accessibility" tag but I still have not found any documentation about using HomeAssistant with a screen reader.
Best regards,
