### Throttle Filter

Source: https://sml2mqtt.readthedocs.io/en/latest/operations.html

Limits the frequency of value passing based on a defined time period.

```APIDOC
## Throttle Filter

### Description
Filter which only lets one value pass in the defined period. If the last passed value is not at least 'period' old, any new value will not be forwarded.

### Parameters
- **throttle filter** (DurationType) - Required - Throttle period.

### Example
```
throttle filter: 60
```
```

--------------------------------

### Range Filter

## Range Filter

### Description
Filters or limits values to those within a certain range.

### Parameters
- **min** (float) - Optional - Minimum value that will pass.
- **max** (float) - Optional - Maximum value that will pass.
- **limit** (bool) - Optional - If true, values are limited to min/max instead of being ignored.

### Example
```
type: range filter
min: 0
```
```

--------------------------------

### Round

```APIDOC
## Round

### Description
Round to the specified digits, negative for tens.

### Parameters
- **round** (int) - Required - Round to the specified digits (Constraints: -4 to 6)

### Example
```
round: 2
```
```

--------------------------------

### Change Filter

Source: https://sml2mqtt.readthedocs.io/en/latest/operations.html

A filter that only allows a value to pass if it is different from the previously passed value.

```APIDOC
## Change Filter

### Description
A filter which lets the value only pass when it is different from the value that was passed the last time.

### Parameters
- **type** (Literal['change filter']) - Required - Filter type identifier.

--------------------------------

### Delta Filter

Source: https://sml2mqtt.readthedocs.io/en/latest/operations.html

Allows values to pass if they differ from the last passed value by a specified absolute amount or percentage.

```APIDOC
## Delta Filter

### Description
A filter which lets the value only pass if the incoming value is different enough from the value that was passed the last time. The delta can be an absolute value or a percentage.

### Parameters
- **type** (Literal['delta filter']) - Required - Filter type identifier.
- **min** (StrictInt | StrictFloat) - Optional - Absolute delta threshold.
- **min %** (StrictInt | StrictFloat) - Optional - Percentage delta threshold.
