The device lock now keeps the always allowed apps reachable, the last piece of #175. Update through HACS and restart; nothing to change unless you want the plain lock back (see below).
Changed
- A device lock from Home Assistant now keeps the always allowed apps reachable (#175, thanks to @wojtulab). The lock is written with Google's override code 7 instead of 1: the child still sees "Time for a break", but the lock screen offers an "Available apps" button to open the apps marked "always allowed" in Family Link, which is what the Family Link app itself does when its lock screen setting is on. Both codes were verified on a supervised tablet: with 1 the button is absent, with 7 it is there. A new option, Device lock keeps the always allowed apps reachable, on by default (setup form and options), brings back the plain lock, emergency calls only, when switched off. Strict mode relocks and the device switch follow the option.
Notes
- Together with 2.1.1, which reads a code 7 lock as locked and exposes
lock_override_codeon the device switch, this closes #175. - The API notes document the live capture of both codes.
