  - Inside the states table you have:
-   - entity_id: the entity_id of the entity
-   - state: the state of the entity
-   - attributes: JSON of the state attributes
-   - last_changed: timestamp last time the state has changed. A state_changed event can happen when just attributes change.
-   - last_updated: timestamp anything has changed (state, attributes)

 When the history component queries the states table it only selects states where the state has changed: `WHERE last_changed=last_updated`
