Custom component - simulated sensor

Hi all
just published a custom component for a simulated sensor. This sensor reproducibly generates simulated data with configured properties, including a mean level, a periodic component, and a noise term. This is useful if you are doing a demo and wish to quickly generate some data to display, but don’t have physical devices or internet connection (the current random sensor only generates white noise, not very interesting!). Another use is debugging an automation, if you want to generate a repeatable signal. However my main motivation for writing this component is for testing filter components, such as the Kalman filter I’ve been thinking about for a while.
Cheers
