## Device Unavailable
Some devices, such as the Insignia F30 series, disappear from the network when they are turned off. This can be seen as the device becoming unavailable in Home Assistant (logs show TCP timeout errors), disappearing from the network, and not responding to ping. Often, this is for approximately 50 minutes out of each hour when turned off. This can be fixed by opening the Settings app on the device and using "Display & Sounds" -> "Power Controls" -> "Voice Commands When TV Screen is Off". Change this value to "On" and accept the warning about increased power consumption. This will cause the device to always remain listening on the network so that it can be turned on via Home Assistant. Note that after being unplugged or losing power, the device will need to be manually turned on once before this setting takes effect again.
