Sensor for Assist listening on Phone?

Mobile Apps Home Assistant Companion for Android
1

I would like to mute my stereo when assist is listening on my phone.

This is pretty easy with Voice PE, but there does not seem to be any sensor for the mobile app signaling that Assist is listening.

Am I missing something? Could this be added?

Can you check if is_mic_muted sensor (under audio sensors in the Companion app) changes when you speak to Assist?

Just checked: it doesn’t change state and is Off all the time. I’m on a Pixel 6a with android 16.

I’ve created an issue on Github Expose status of Assist as a sensor · Issue #5501 · home-assistant/android · GitHub if anyone wants to take it.
