Present missing entities in configuration checks

[pashdown (Pete Ashdown)]

In using the GUI “Check Configuration” or CLI “hassio ha check” there is no auditing of entities in automations or configurations that are referenced but don’t exist. It would be nice to have this as the entities pile up and come and go.

Just FYI, this is an excellent third party integration that can check for missing entities:

Watchman - keeps track of missing entities and services in your config files

Along with a few sensors, it may create a text version of the report or send it via notification service of choice. Please don’t be afraid of the documentation volume, I’ve tried to keep the balance between versatility and simplicity of use during development, so all parameters are optional: https://github.com/dummylabs/thewatchman Example…
