6:19 sounds like you need a "pause everything" automation that responds to you recording ^_^

Great video, as always. Now that we have the Proximity sensor deprecated, Could you please show us how to achieve something similar?

Cheers matey I see a better intergration for govee is there, looking forward to that one...

[IanTakats]

Welcome back. Why did you move to Zigbee to MQTT. Is it better? I am considering doing the same.

[geoffreycoan]

History downloading, excellent addition. Hope for history uploading to be available soon, eg the energy dashboard

[dago]

Great video as always. Do you know if there's some work ongoing with the energy dashboard and an EV section? It would be great to separate the EV from the rest.
