Core Features

📊 State History

The GlobalStateManager maintains entity state history:

• Maximum of 10 historical states per entity
• Timestamp tracking
• State locking capability
• Reversion to previous states

# Revert to previous state
state_manager.revert_to_previous_state(entity_id, steps_back=1)

# Lock current state
state_manager.lock_state(entity_id)

🔄 MQTT Integration

Automated MQTT entity creation:

• Dynamic topic generation
• Auto-discovery support
• State synchronization
• Availability tracking

Entity types:

• Switches
• Numbers
• Sensors
• Binary sensors

Example MQTT switch creation:
