A few releases ago they made it so you can DEFAULT new entities NOT to be controlled by the VA.. I cleared ALL entities and changed the setting. I only add things one at a time to voice control now.
SO many integrations ad switches it is a high risk to default the VA to have access to all new ones.
I think that setting has been there as long as I've had a voice assistant (since I got my HA Voice Preview in January). I knew it existed but I let it expose them. I probably shouldn't, because I always have to review it after adding anything new since it normally doesn't get what I wanted exposed/not exposed.
