When I define an MQTT Event, it does not show up in Overview like other new entities.
One use for an Event is to track my DIY front gate sensor, which let’s me know (for example) when packages arrive by displaying the date and time of the last event.
I have to include it in a custom dashboard.
Can you make these show up in Overview automatically?
We can control it as usual with the Visible setting.
Here’s the definition of my MQTT Event:
mqtt:
- event:
- name: "Front gate"
unique_id: mqtt_event.front_gate_trigger
state_topic: "Trigger/front_gate"
event_types:
- "triggered"
