Expand the "related" function when looking at an entity so it also shows which helpers use it

Hi Front-end developers;

When you look at an entity it’s nicely showing in which automation’s the entity is used. I am missing that it is also related to a helper. This info must be readily available I believe. An example was today I repurposed a temperature sensor. I look in the related item for the temp entity and adjusted the automation’s in which it was used. I missed that I also used this entity in an average temp helper in which I take an average of 3 temp sensors.

It would be great if the helpers could be included in the related items to an entity or a device.

thanks!

Hello Alex de Kloet,

This appears to be a Frontend Related Feature Request as it is asking for changes to Frontend Menus, Dashboards, or Sections.

These Feature Requests are handled in a different system, and will not be seen by the right people if posted in the HA forums.

This is a core feature, not frontend. Related entities are located by the search integration.

Since this after all this seems to be a core-feature, I would like to chime in:

Ever since I started with HomeAssistant I have relied solely on yaml configuration. There was no other way back then,…
For some while now, with all the improvements to the GUI, I’m slowly migrating to GUI.

Sometimes, for bigger changes or troubleshooting, I had to search (grep) all my yaml-packages for occurrences of a certain entity.
With the switch to GUI this is no longer possible.

It would be great, if you could extend the “more-info > related” dialogue to other entities/integrations like helpers, scenes, etc.
making the text search obsolete and the GUI experience more on par with yaml.
