LIsten to events - what to subscribe to

Configuration
1

I’m trying to debug a device tracker (using Find my Sync FindMySync - Martin Pham).

This all seems to be working OK. When I force update Find my Sync and am listening to all events in Developer tools I see the event pop up but am obviously spammed with other stuff.

I’ve tried listening just for these events but can’t quite work out what I need to subscribe to.

Below is a copy (anonymised) of one of the events:

event_type: call_service
data:
domain: device_tracker
service: see
service_data:
gps_accuracy: 35
gps:
- x.yyyyy
- y.xxxx
dev_id: findmy_ABCDEFG
host_name: “”
origin: LOCAL
time_fired: “2025-10-24T14:21:04.115498+00:00”
context:
id: 0000000000
parent_id: null
user_id: 000000

Any help much appreciated!

AFAIK you can’t listen to a specific entity in devtools. You can only list to a type that is listed to the right in the event listener. e.g. call_service

If by chance you use nodered, you can isolate specific entities events using an events all node.

example data to follow a specific entity.

{
    "domain": "counter",
    "service": "set_value",
    "service_data": {
        "entity_id": [
            "counter.frontend_cams"
        ]
    }
}

Great idea on using node-red; I hadn’t thought about that at all. All sorted now, thank you!
