This is a breaking change on the audio input side right? |

Nope. Existing sensors will get a new visual name but keep the same entity ID. |

Fixes #1958. ## Summary Existing Core Audio stuff already exposes the output devices pretty easily, so creating sensors from 'em is pretty easy. ## Sensor Values Roughly identical to microphones: | Sensor | Attributes | Description | | --------- | --------- | ----------- | | `sensor.active_audio_input` | `All`, `Active` | The name of the active audio input (microphone), or `Inactive` if not in use. | | `sensor.active_audio_output` | `All`, `Active` | The name of the active audio output (speaker), or `Inactive` if not in use. | | `binary_sensor.audio_input_in_use` | None | Whether an audio output (microphone) on the system is currently in use. | | `binary_sensor.audio_output_in_use` | None | Whether an audio output (speaker) on the system is currently in use. | ## Link to pull request in Documentation repository Documentation: home-assistant/companion.home-assistant#627 ## Any other notes This updates relatively instantly for when output starts, but takes a few seconds before it updates once output pauses. Existing `microphone` sensors won't have their unique IDs changed, but their display name will change. New installs will get the new unique ID.
