Greetings,
I’m encountering an issue with my Pixel 9 Pro and Home Assistant zone events. I have a Node-RED flow set up to monitor zone events, and it’s been working reliably with my Pixel 6 devices for over a year.
Configuration:
Pixel 6 Devices:
- Some configured for HA Companion “Sensor update frequency” as “Normal”
- Others configured for “Fast Always”
Pixel 9 Pro:
- Most settings configured identically to a Pixel 6 device with HA Companion app settings matched and “Fast Always” update frequency
Problem:
The Pixel 9 Pro is experiencing significant gaps in its sensor updates. It seems to occasionally update the Home Assistant server when it connects to WiFi, but I can’t confirm this as a related event. There are plenty of times I can say positively say it doesn’t cause the device to update.
Troubleshooting Steps Taken:
App Permissions: I’ve ensured running in background is enabled, notifications not enabled,
Sensor update frequency → Fast Always
- Network Connectivity: Verified strong WiFi and cellular signal.
- Home Assistant Server: Checked server logs for any related errors. Zero messages for the pixel 9 and two warning messages related to the pixel 6
- Node-RED Flow: Reviewed the flow to ensure correct configuration and triggering. I use a regex
^zone.*for zone events. So I didn’t need to specifically add the new device to the events state node.
Questions:
Are the obvious ones, phone and/or HA Companion app settings I’ve missed. Compatibility issue with the Pixel 9 Pro and HA Companion app, phones GPS or other sensors, etc?
Any advice or troubleshooting tips would be greatly appreciated.
