I wish I had some water meters that I could monitor to take advantage of the Energy dashboard, but sadly I don't have a submeter I can access.
Home Assistant just keeps methodically getting better!

In a world where everything is entshitifying this project is really refreshing
This one broke zigbee2mqtt for me but I'm not sure why. I rolled back for now.
Again?? Sigh...
right lol
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.
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.
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.
This update seems pretty tame from the release notes, but I was worried about the python update.
I have a lot of HACS integrations, and several HACS custom repository integrations that are updated very slowly when things get updated around them.
I'm happy to report that all of my integrations work just fine after the update.
