      I was excited too! But they mention it kills the battery as Google doesn’t let the access the system API for it, so we’ll see whether it stays enabled.

        I used their advice from the blog to make an automation that turns it on when I’m home, and off when I’m away.

          I spend 90% of my time at home so that probably won’t help my battery much 😅

              Haha you got me, I do have a charger at home. I’m just not used to charging in the day, I normally charge overnight. But I guess I could charge more if needed.

                To be fair, doubling the amount of charge cycles is not great for your battery. So even with a charger available one should consider whether it’s worth it.

      Ended up having to change my default assistant, then change it back to Homeassistant for it to recognize that it was the default. There’s already a bug report for it as well.
