Merged PRs (23-18;16-12;10-9)

***Note: following changes have been merged to https://github.com/amadeo-alex/HASS.Agent, until original development resumes new future feature requests/bugfixes will be implemented there ***

This PR servers as a point of reference with all PRs which were created by me until this point.
Due to the large amount of commits/changes in those previous PRs it will be easier to merge small changes made to the individual branches than to try and integrate 10+ PRs once Sam has time to review them.

I'll probably use this branch/PR as a starting point for new PRs.

Contains following branches:

• Feature: radio control (BT/WiFi/Broadband) #23
• Feature: ignore availability topic option for sensors #22
• Feature: internal device sensors (light sensor et. al.) #21
• Fix: Home Assistant 2023.8 MQTT #20
• Feature: application volume command, audio output command & audio sensor overhaul #19
• Feature: notification library change to Windows APP SDK / misc. improvements&features #18
• Fix: performance counter calling NextValue() twice #16
• Feature: quick action carousel/circular navigation #15
• Fix: PowerShell command action params / PowerShell sensor encoding fix #14
• Fix: key command and key emulation #13
• Feature: virtual desktop sensor and command #12
• Fix: GPU temperature and load sensor fix #10
• Fix: LastActive stale report / added functionality #9

@amadeo-alex can you release a new version of Hass Agent with all the latest changes? @LAB02-Admin is gone for months already and nobody knows if and when he will ever be back.

@amadeo-alex can you release a new version of Hass Agent with all the latest changes? @LAB02-Admin is gone for months already and nobody knows if and when he will ever be back.

I'll try to get something up and running before hopefully Sam is back (I've had contact with him/her but recently it's been hard catch up)
Just need to think about how to approach the installation as I'm not aware of the installer repository being available anywhere.

Apologies for the cross post... @amadeo-alex can you also merge in denisabt's awesome screenshot sensor update into your unofficial beta? I am looking for an easy way to compile all of your fixes/enhancements + the screenshot capability. I am currently running the screenshot build and it's working great -- but I am keen to get your additional fixes too.

Also, related to releasing a new beta, I think even a zip file package in the interim would be helpful. It wasn't too hard to install manually.

Evening
Regarding unofficial build please take a look here - https://github.com/hass-agent/ - it's a bit more official unofficially :D
TL;DR: More fixes/features, proper installer and an org (I've moved my repo there - the one on my account is dev only) for all stuff related to the fork

I saw your question in the screenshot sensor PR, I'll ask there if denisabt has anything against it to be transparent about anything and then integrate it if there won't be a voice of veto :)

edit @manonstreet ping for visibility

Thanks @amadeo-alex. I'll keep an eye out for a new build with the screenshot sensor incorporated!
