Now available: v0.17.0 with new TV Settings, HA Quick Actions, a better HA dashboard screensaver and remote navigation, plus the opt-in Okay Nabu wake feature. Install the matching signed TV APK and HACS integration; see Getting Started and the release notes.
About the preview screenshots: The real ADB gallery was captured from an earlier development build, not the final public APK. The separate, owner-approved v3 pairing QA integration remains experimental and is not the normal HACS installation. Onn hardware QA confirmed automatic Mobile Command screensaver recovery after reboot; other TVs need validation.

Kellie's Voice is the Android TV app and HACS integration. Julia is simply the maintainer's name for their personal Home Assistant conversation agent. You do not need to install Julia, call your assistant Julia, or use a wake word. Activate TALK and speak normally with your own configured Assist agent.
A note on features: the Google Assistant remote microphone button is not automatically available to third-party apps. Optional hands-free follow-up listening remains OFF by default. The opt-in HA/Frigate screensaver and four-camera live mode remain available. Local Okay Nabu wake is included in v0.16.14, OFF by default; Android 14+ may require opening the app once after reboot before listening resumes. Unverified hardware and TV-off hands-free modes remain future work. See the FAQ for more.
