very chatty distance sensor with complete yaml, even with filter? Or just in the log?

Hi, thanks for all your efforts on getting these sensors easily usable in HA.

I have a small thing I'm wondering about ... I see that using the complete yaml example, I do get enormous amounts (every 0.2s) of identical distance readings in the log.
Are these also transmitted to HA as valid readings or is it just a visual (eg. in logging to screen only) issue?

I do have the following setting in the YAML, as per your great examples. Is this the heartbeat I`m seeing in the log?
If indeed all these messages go to HA, is there not a way to only sent significant (eg. 2 decimals) changes?

  accuracy_decimals: 2
   filters:    # Use Fliter To Debounce
   - sliding_window_moving_average:
       window_size: 8
       send_every: 2
   - heartbeat: 0.2s

Cheers.
