Folder watcher event remains unknown

Mariusthvdb commented 2 months ago

The problem

set up the integration via the UI succesfully, but cant make the event change form unknown at all. No file manipulation triggers the event.

The documentation could do with some better example, because at first I copied that 1 on 1 and ofc the event names were wrong.

After getting those right and using below automation, still no trigger occurs.

the /config (and all folders below that recursively) is added to the allowed list correctly

homeassistant:
  packages: !include_dir_named packages
  allowlist_external_dirs:
    - /config
    - /media
