Pixel 8 Pro high battery usage

Mobile Apps Home Assistant Companion for Android

I have the same problem and thanks to this thread I was able to find out what the problem is. My Tapo cameras are connected via WebRTC and as soon as I watch the live stream it seems to continue running in the background.

My problem is that it is not enough to leave the view and then close the app. It still uses battery. Despite WiFi and mobile data being turned off, it was 40 percent overnight! 7 hours of background activity.
Is there a trick I can do to stop this? Not being able to use the cameras anymore would be a shame.

I’m still having this issue.

Last week, I didn’t actively use the camera view and the battery consumption was normal to unremarkable. Then yesterday evening I went back to the camera view and lost over 20 percent overnight without WiFi and mobile data because Home Assistant was running in the background.

How can prevent this, other than not using the cameras anymore, which is not really an option. There must be a way to stop these background activities?!?
