Feature Request: location as device option

[saya6k]

Shopping list with grocy have option to get product sensor, and it’s super useful. I can have automation in home assistant, to warn shortage and remind me to buy groceries. Currently, product sensor has location in their attribute ‘location’.

But products are actually ‘in’ location, it’s not intuitive for smart home approach. It’s more of a ERP way of view.

So if I can get multiple product sensors in each location device such as fridge, it would be much easier to understand and fits in home assistant.

Hey @saya6k , there is already a way to do that, I'm doing it on my HA instance, here is an example on how to achieve that:

         - type: custom:collapsable-cards
            title: Food closet
            defaultOpen: true
            cards:
              - type: custom:auto-entities
                sort:
                  method: attribute
                  attribute: location
                card:
                  type: vertical-stack
                card_param: cards
                filter:
                  include:
                    - entity_id: sensor.shopping_list_with_grocy*
                      sort:

Actually, I'm using it similarly. But I thought it would be much intuitive to have location as device in home assistant context. Anyway, thank you :)

I will close that jira issue, because locations in HomeAssistant are meant to be rooms, not closests or fridge. If there is more feature request like this one, I'll work on something
