MODERATORS
The story says active users.
Do they count us as active users when we open the google home app and have to dismiss their annoying purple glowing thing? It would be nice if they could specify what qualifies someone as active. We were already tired of relying on the "cloud" and replacing a product you already had seemed wasteful to integrate into home assistant better, but its more tempting each day.
To be honest, I didn't care enough to do any additional research, much like yourself.
Read the article. No, you don’t count.
