Deep dives
Understanding Home Assistant Entities
In Home Assistant, entities refer to individual attributes of connected devices. For instance, a contact sensor might have entities for its status (open or closed), battery level, and temperature. When devices are removed from the network, they can create orphaned entities, cluttering the system and making management cumbersome. This can lead to the need for cleanup processes to maintain an efficient system.
