What’s changed
A global sensor update mode switch has been added to control how frequently environmental sensor values are published to Home Assistant.
Sensors continue measuring at their normal cadence, but publishing can now be rate-limited to reduce unnecessary state updates and network traffic.
Sensor update control
A new switch has been added:
MODE | Realtime
Realtime mode (default)
Sensors publish values in near real-time using their normal measurement cadence.
Rate-limited mode
Sensor values are published at most once every 60 seconds, while internal measurements continue running normally.
Filtering simplification
All smoothing and averaging filters have been removed from environmental sensors to simplify the configuration and expose raw measurements.
Removed filters include:
- exponential_moving_average
- sliding_window_moving_average
- throttle_average
- median / quantile filters
Why this matters
- Performance: Reduces Home Assistant state update traffic.
- Visibility: Raw sensor values without smoothing filters.
- Flexibility: Switch between real-time monitoring and rate-limited sensor updates.
- Simplicity: Cleaner sensor configuration.
Changelog (summary)
- feat(sensor): add realtime / 60s sensor update mode switch
- refactor(sensor): remove smoothing filters from environmental sensors
