Home Assistant Android app version(s):
2026.6.5-full (22884)
Android version(s):
Please let me know if the exact Android version is required. I can provide it.
Device model(s):
Samsung Galaxy Tab A11+
Home Assistant version:
Core: 2026.7.2
Supervisor: 2026.07.3
Operating System: 18.1
Last working Home Assistant release (if known):
Unknown. This is my first attempt to use Wake Word Detection.
Description of problem, include YAML if issue is related to notifications:
Wake Word Detection is enabled and configured with the wake word "Okay Nabu".
The Home Assistant Companion App is configured as the default Android Digital Assistant.
When I say "Okay Nabu", the wake word is detected successfully.
However, instead of immediately starting a voice conversation and listening for my command, the Companion App opens the Assist text input together with the Android on-screen keyboard.
The microphone never starts listening.
The problem occurs every time and is fully reproducible.
Configuration has been checked multiple times:
- Home Assistant is configured as the default Digital Assistant.
- Wake Word Detection is enabled.
- Wake word: "Okay Nabu".
- Voice assistant is configured correctly.
- Conversation agent is working.
- Microphone permission is granted.
- Home Assistant server is reachable and working normally.
The problem appears during the transition from wake-word detection to the Assist voice session.
Companion App Logs:
Not available.
I have not attached Android logs because this would require installing Android debugging tools (ADB) only for this issue.
If logs are required, I will try to provide them after receiving instructions from the developers.
Screenshot or video of problem:
I will attach screenshots showing:
- Wake Word configuration
- Assist configuration
- Device settings
- Home Assistant version
Additional information:
The wake word itself is detected correctly.
The issue is not that Wake Word Detection fails.
The issue is that after successful wake-word detection the application switches to text input mode instead of starting voice listening.
