Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

The usage of state attributes could make the database size increase quickly.

Describe the solution you'd like

Create dedicated sensors, especially for remaining and used weight, since that is update pretty frequently

Describe alternatives you've considered

Maybe not that important?

That's a good hint, will dig into this. Thank you!

@mawoka-myblock I thought about this but the Create dedicated sensors, especially for remaining and used weight part makes me some headache. because I want to group these information together with the spool itself. If I break them up, these information would fragemented IMHO. Do you have any other idea?

The usage of state attributes could make the database size increase quickly.
I already have this integration running with around 20 spools and an update interval of 1 Minute and I can't see any significant growing.

But we should keep that in mind when someone have this issue.

I gonna pin that issue for further references.

maybe create a "device" per spool?

[mawoka-myblock]

Oh, I'd also suggest removing the good first issue label, as I'd say that this isn't one.

That could be indeed a reasonable alternative. I will consider this!

[Disane87]

Currently I'm evaluating the possibility to create "Hubs" für every storage location and within that a device per spool and for every attribute an own entity. Something like Meross Integration is doing here:

But at the moment we're pretty busy with renovating our kitchen so that need some time. But with that refactoring I gonna address this problem #103 as well.

tbh, I don't even use your integration, just stumbled upon it, so take your time. If you should still need help, feel free to ask
