**Description of problem, include YAML if issue is related to notifications:**
I’m having an issue with the HA minimal android app on a Quest 3, previously this issue did not exist. I recently upgraded the Quest android software to 2.1. I also upgraded the HA companion app to 2026.1.6-minimal, and since I have seen this problem (I don’t know which of those 2 upgrades may have caused the issue).
The binary_sensor.in_use sensor doesn’t exist as a selectable sensor to enable in the companion app settings on the Quest. Other sensors are present (battery, battery state, internal storage, OS version, etc) and those do work correctly and are visible in HA. Those sensors are enabled in the companion app under Companion App > Manage Sensors as well as the sensor entities under Device > Diagnostic. Background access for the HA app is allowed. See the below screenshot of the sensors I can select (if I remember correctly I think the in_use sensor was under the power sensors category). I’ve tried removing and reinstalling the companion app, and installing a previous version 2025.11.4-minimal and still the sensor is not listed. I get this feeling this could be related to changes in android 2.1.
