• 𝗗𝘆𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗰 𝗗𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗧𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴:

↳ Automatically detects which satellite room device you are speaking to and plays the audio answer on that specific speaker.

• 𝗟𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗲𝘀 & 𝗛𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗘𝗻𝘁𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀:

↳ sensor.feeder_bird_species: Displays the current/latest bird species.

↳ sensor.recent_feeder_birds: Maintains a rolling log of recent visits with timestamps (e.g. Northern Cardinal at 7:04 AM, House Finch at 6:24 PM).

• 𝗗𝗮𝘀𝗵𝗯𝗼𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗙𝗲𝗲𝗱𝘀 (advanced-camera-card):

↳ Live camera stream with bird detection badges, snapshot gallery, and event history directly on your Home Assistant dashboard.
