Unknown with custom log

[alphasixtyfive]

Describe the bug

For some reason I'm getting a single "Unknown" entry whenever

Although default logbook card displays it just fine:

Card configuration

type: custom:logbook-card
entity: input_button.logbook_tasker
custom_logs: true

- alias: Tasker event receiver log
  trigger:
    - platform: event
      event_type: "tasker"
  action:
    - alias: Make a log entry
      service: logbook.log
      data:
        name: "{{ trigger.event.data.app }}"
        message: "{{ trigger.event.data.message }}"
        entity_id: input_button.logbook_tasker

Add show_history: false to your config this issue.

type: custom:logbook-card
entity: input_button.logbook_tasker
custom_logs: true
show_history: false

I'll update documentation to clarify this

Thanks, however this did not help.

Can you confirm that you are using the last version of the card ?

[alphasixtyfive]

I do. The version is 2.0.1. Perhaps it would help if I provided an output of API call to history endpoint?

In an unusual turn of events it actually outputs unknown:

This is the output of /api/logbook on the other hand:

[royto]

there is a pb with show_history. I'll check that

[alphasixtyfive]

Many thanks for taking the time to look into this, however this did not solve the issue. With show_history set to false it shows a No event on the period message, and when you set it it to true it once again shows a single Unknown entry.

[royto]

ok. Seems that when you log using your automation, it is not setting the context_service property to log on which I'm filtering on ...

I might be wrong but shouldn't you just filter by entity_id or domain?

[royto]

the call to the api is already filtered per entity.

I think I will autorize log with "context_domain": "automation"

[royto]

Version 2.1.0 should fix the issue

[alphasixtyfive]

It works now, thank you!
