WTH can't repairs have entities?

Why can’t I have an automation that displays a notification, or shoes up on a dashboard, when something needs fixing?

Hm well there is an event, repairs_issue_registry_updated. It’s fired when a repair is added or removed from the issue registry:

github.com

home-assistant/core/blob/2214fff3b492a9b24ef4679653b4f2e53f79ee69/homeassistant/helpers/issue_registry.py#L203-L206

    
      
          self.hass.bus.async_fire(
              EVENT_REPAIRS_ISSUE_REGISTRY_UPDATED,
              {"action": "update", "domain": domain, "issue_id": issue_id},
          )

github.com

home-assistant/core/blob/2214fff3b492a9b24ef4679653b4f2e53f79ee69/homeassistant/helpers/issue_registry.py#L184-L187

    
      
          self.hass.bus.async_fire(
              EVENT_REPAIRS_ISSUE_REGISTRY_UPDATED,
              {"action": "remove", "domain": domain, "issue_id": issue_id},
          )

So you can listen for that in an automation. Only problem is there’s not a ton of info in that event and to my knowledge there isn’t any way to get more info in a template with that issue_id.

I guess what we need is new filters/functions to get data from the issue_registry like we can for the device registry with the device_attr filter.
