February 2026: Delivered two high-impact features across home-assistant/brands and home-assistant/android, driving UI clarity and precise device control. In brands, introduced a Companion Media Player Icon UI for custom integrations to improve visual consistency (#9656). In android, added min/max attributes to volume sensors to enable safer, more predictable audio control (#6452). These changes enhance end-user experience, reduce friction for developers, and establish a scalable pattern for future integration work.
