Event Entities for changes #84

Open sevorl opened 1 year ago

sevorl commented 1 year ago

I just installed the latest version with the new notify settings.

This is a great idea - i used to parse json to detect room changes for example.

However, I would like to suggest to use the new event entities (introdoced in HA 2023.8), for a more versatile usage.

For example, I would like to show a conditional card on my dashboard instead of getting a notification. Events could be used to trigger an automation, which could send a notification, but also to change the state of a helper entity etc.

Does the integration trigger events already, which could be used in an automation?

I worked on the notify feature for several months; as a result, the event entity wasn't available at this time. I will put this on my to-do list.
