Not solely that, we now retailer the final used grouping (and in the event that they had been
collapsed or not) and sorting you’ve got used, so whenever you return to that web page,
will probably be the identical as you left it.
Final however actually not least, we’ve added the power to group and filter
entities by their area within the entities panel. Because the domains characterize the
sort of entity, this implies you’ll be able to group and filter, for instance, all of your
lights, switches, sensors, and so forth.

it on an ESPHome-based device (like an ESP-S3-BOX-3 or the ATOM Echo),
chances are high you’ve got skilled one of many largest limitations thus far when it
involves utilizing it every day: chopped-off audio. 😞

lacking just a few elements, most notably firstly and the tip of the audio.
This was very noticeable when the responses had been brief, reminiscent of asking what number of
lights are on in a house or the room temperature.
