window is open or not.

Last week we announced that ESPHome will continue under the umbrella
of Nabu Casa from now on. If you want to hear more about it, be sure

the future of ESPHome.

Uptime Card

For those who would like to show their uptime robot status or other types of
binary sensors in a very special way, there is now a new card made by
dylandoamaral which is inspired on the
uptime status page of Reddit.

Keep in mind that the card is still at an early stage of development.
