Currently, the Home Assistant Android app allows interaction with Assist even when the device is locked. While this can be convenient, it also poses a privacy and security risk especially if the device is lost, stolen, or accessed by unauthorized individuals.
Use cases
Privacy: Prevent accidental or malicious use of Assist when the phone is locked.
Security: Avoid unintended actions (e.g., unlocking doors, turning off alarms, opening covers) via voice commands.
Customization: Allow users to choose between convenience and security based on their needs.
Examples
Google Assistant provides a setting to disable Assistant responses on the lock screen:
Open Google Assistant settings.
Navigate to Lock screen.
Toggle "Assistant responses on lock screen" to disable it.
