Hi Team,
Back in July 2022 I installed HA and finally got my temperature sensors configured and running nicely. I could never get the database running but I was happy with my display.
Then Xiaomi went to 2FA and broke everything....so I just gave up 
Yesterday, after a long discussion with Gemini, I was assured that HA had come a long way so I should give it another try. Today everything is running perfectly as I want it (not how I have to have it), it's very user friendly and pretty amazing!
I purchased a Zigbee dongle so all my sensor data is on my local network and saved locally as well.
I just wanted to congratulate the team for turning HA into what it is today. It's much appreciated.
Cheers,
Murray
