The full story
Home Assistant 2026.11 added two-way audio for cameras, but only inside the camera's details dialog. A developer working on the Android companion app's two-way audio made, with Claude, an extension for the tile card that puts a talk button on the camera's dashboard tile: one tap opens an audio connection so you can hear the camera and it can hear you, another hangs up.
It is audio only and needs the two-way audio preview turned on in Labs, a camera whose integration supports it (Reolink in 2026.11) and Home Assistant over HTTPS or in the app. The developer is gathering feedback on whether it belongs in the main frontend.
