Following up. I found the mic/wakeword being active overnight prevented my Android Auto-Restart from occurring. Setup another automation to turn off wakeword overnight and turn it back on around my usual alarm time.

I turned it off because it kept triggering when I (or someone else) was talking to my Home Assistant Voice Preview (which the blog says it won't do...). I also never really worked out good uses for it. My HAVP is in my kitchen/living room area, and is mostly used for playing music and kitchen related things (setting timers, unit conversions, etc).

If I ask home assistant on my phone to play music, it plays it on the HAVP speaker in my kitchen. I don't really have a need for timers or conversions outside of the kitchen where I already have the HAVP so didn't find any use for it on my phone.
