Feature request: Add an attribute to identify entities as related to the tasmota integration #35

Open SteveDinn opened 4 years ago

I would like to be able to write a template in HA to pick up the IP addresses of all tasmota devices. I have several other sensors that have states that are IP addresses on my local network as well. I need to be able to differentiate those that come from the tasmota integration from the others. As of right now, there's no way for me to tell a tasmota-integration-created light from my manual MQTT light hand-written in YAML, nor the IP address sensors from my manually-created ones.

I would suggest adding an attribute similar to, (or exactly :))

  integration: tasmota

to all the entities created by the integration so we can tell in a template that we're dealing with a tasmota-integration-created entity.

Frankly, I think all integration-created entities should have something like this.

I'm not sure if it will be useful for the bigger audience but... Noted!

Well, hopefully it's easy to implement, and it should be inconsequential to anyone who doesn't care about it.
