H7160 Humidifier Water Level

[davide169]

I have a H7160 humidifier. So far everything is working but just curious if there would be a way to get a water level sensor? It seems like it only reports if it is too low.
Looking through the MQTT topics I do find this. gv2mqtt/sensor/sensor-XXX-gv2mqtt-status/attributes

 - alarmType: 51
      eventState:
        options:
          - message: run out of Water
            name: lack
            value: 1
      instance: lackWaterEvent
      parameters: null
      type: devices.capabilities.event

I have this model, and there aren't any sensor readings available from it. The alarms apparently can be delivered via a separate mqtt connection, but I haven't tried to hook this up yet because it seems like it doesn't work: https://developer.govee.com/discuss/6575e85556ba5800310a1adf

https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/event.mqtt/ is the most appropriate entity type to integrate as.

After a bit more tinkering and pulling the water tank it appears that alarmType never updates. I can pull it and get the instant update from the app but it doesn't look like anything changes in the mqtt response.

Sounds like we're waiting on govee to fix this functionality before it is worth trying to integrate it.
