Can you walk me through debouncing please
The other day, @tifriis posted an awesome article about Zigbee network performance and it brought attention to something I was unaware of, which is that my devices aren't supposed to shout all day, everyday about doing mostly nothing.

My home-assistant_v2.db was gigantic and it was my fault
As a Home Assistant noob, there's some things that I'm just destined not to learn until I experience them and one such thing is that I should disable things I don't use on devices I use. I have a bunch of presence sensors in my house and they were essentially spamming my logs with the motion state, something I never need as I...
