A switch that lets the headphone jack sleep when idle, closing phrases said more naturally, and fixes for wall clock pairing and alarm day names.
- Headphone jack sleeps when idle (#537, thanks @der-teaser): a new switch on the Show 5 1st gen and Show 8, off by default, on the setup page under Speaker and voice and in Home Assistant's Playback configuration. With it on and the jack alone playing, the jack's output switches off after 10 seconds of silence and back on before the next sound, so powered speakers on it stay quiet between sounds instead of hissing. The cost is a small pop each time it switches, and the first sound after a quiet spell starts a quarter of a second or more later.
- Wall clock pairing (#511, thanks @morgsman): the search for the clock now stops before pairing starts, so the lookup of the clock's services is not left to time out with the search still running, which dropped a first pairing after about 20 seconds.
- Closing phrases, said naturally (#532, thanks @tmiller9833): "ok, thank you" and "thank you, Emily" now end a conversation as "thank you" does: one filler word may come before the phrase and one word, such as the assistant's name, after it. A question Home Assistant asked back is still listened for after these longer forms; only the phrase alone gives it up.
- Two-letter alarm days (techo5-dot#38, thanks @DuckY1987): the alarm actions take
Mo,We,Fras well asmon,wed,fri. A range such asmon-friis now turned away with an error instead of being read as Monday.
