Noticed the weird version numbers? Unfortunately, that is how version numbers
in the Zigbee standard work and look, we currently have no way to translate
them to something more human-readable format.

Currently, it supports updating Inovelli, OSRAM/Ledvance, Sonoff, and
ThirdReality devices, and we are looking at adding support for more brands
in the future.

{% details "Proximity" %}

The proximity entity is deprecated and will be removed in 2024.8. It is
superseded by sensor entities.

For each tracked person or device one sensor for the distance and the
direction of travel to/from the monitored zone is created. Further for each
Proximity configuration one sensor which shows the nearest device or person
to the monitored zone is created.

With this you can use the [Min/Max](/integrations/min_max) integration to
determine the nearest and furthest distance.
