- Units of Measurement
There is an edge case for translations for units of measurement.
Although for most cases, units do not need translation (like °C or kWh), there are many sensors in ones home that might use units that are specific and not standarized. For example, a sensor that measures the amount of “people” in a home, or one that tells you how many “movies” are in your collection.
So, if you now have a sensor that has a custom unit of measurement, like the amount of “movies” in your collection, integrations can now provide translations for those units.
