v0.1.7 - Phase 2: Advanced Exclusions & Custom Thresholds

🎉 Phase 2: Advanced Exclusions & Custom Thresholds

This release brings powerful new configuration options and fixes dashboard issues!

✨ New Features

Advanced Exclusion System

• Wildcard pattern exclusions: Add patterns like sensor.temp_* or *_battery to exclude matching entities
• Integration-based exclusions: Exclude entire integrations/platforms from monitoring with multi-select UI
• Area-based exclusions: Exclude all entities in specific areas (e.g., exclude all "Garage" devices)
• Zigbee2MQTT Override: Special toggle to always monitor Zigbee2MQTT entities (enabled by default)
  • Even if excluded by other rules, Z2M entities will be monitored since they commonly lose signals in practice

Customizable Thresholds

• Signal strength thresholds: Separate configuration for Zigbee linkquality and WiFi RSSI warnings
• Unavailable duration thresholds: Configure both warning and critical thresholds for unavailable devices
• All thresholds now accessible in the Options UI

🐛 Dashboard Fixes

• Added dashboard-examples.md with corrected entity IDs and clickable entity links
• All example cards now use correct entity IDs (sensor.cardio4ha_*)
• Entities are clickable using markdown link syntax - click to open entity popup
• Fixed warning/critical issues display in dashboard cards
• More compact card layouts

🔧 Technical Improvements

• Enhanced configuration UI with organized settings sections
• Dynamic multi-select dropdowns for integrations and areas
• Advanced wildcard matching using fnmatch
• Smarter exclusion logic with proper evaluation order
