In September 2023, Home Assistant support for integrated Android device controls rolled out with little fanfare (via GitHub). Nonetheless, this update is crucial to using the smart home management tool, giving Android users seamless access to these frequently used controls. If you have Android 11 or newer, the location of these features depends on your device — the controls may be in your quick settings panel, power menu, or notification drawer.

What's the actual change here? I thought you could do Home Assistant quick tiles for a few years now?

Yeah, I'm just trying to figure that out myself, tricky as I didn't know about the tiles before.

This is the update, so something has definitely changed, but I haven't, yet, managed to figure out how to get access to it.
