What can I do?

Thanks

Hi janrothkegel,

I’ not sure. You might have to make your own MQTT discovery sensors for it.

Here is another option.

Trigger based template sensor to retrieve last change of an entity

To retrieve the date and time an entity had it last change, there is a last_changed property in the state object. However, after a restart of Home Assistant, this will be reset to the time HA started. Note: The configuration below will only store nominal state changes, so it will not store state changes from or to unavailable or unknown. So it can’t be used to track when an entity became unavailable. You could remove the not_to: part to also store those changes, however, you won’t be able to …

This is probably something I would do if the solution out of the box will not work. However, from most threads here I read that it was simply there after activating the last_seen option in Z2M… Thanks.
