Wake word on mobile is very exciting, but it doesn't seem to work on my device. It won't even let me turn it on, and says that HA is not my default assistant even though it definitely is.

    I've got it working on my S24. I've been waiting so long for this.

    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 😅

    You probably have a charger at home, though.

    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.

    Following up. I found the mic/wakeword being active overnight prevented my Android Auto-Restart from occurring. Setup another automation to turn off wakeword overnight and turn it back on around my usual alarm time.

    I turned it off because it kept triggering when I (or someone else) was talking to my Home Assistant Voice Preview (which the blog says it won't do...). I also never really worked out good uses for it. My HAVP is in my kitchen/living room area, and is mostly used for playing music and kitchen related things (setting timers, unit conversions, etc).

    If I ask home assistant on my phone to play music, it plays it on the HAVP speaker in my kitchen. I don't really have a need for timers or conversions outside of the kitchen where I already have the HAVP so didn't find any use for it on my phone.
