Include useful information in events

[ep1cman]

Hi,

I am currently trying to setup notification for when my heating fires up to track the cause. It would be super useful for the events triggered by this integration to include some data to provide context. It seems this is already in the code but for some reason has been commented out:

wiserHomeAssistantPlatform/custom_components/wiser/events.py

Line 59 in 6549411

"""

In addition, I think the boost duration could be added to the is_boosted event via CONF_EVENT_DATA

I was going to add event data with these events but then realised that you can get any attributes you want off the climate device by using (as an example)...

{{state_attr(trigger.event.data.entity_id, 'temperature')}}

Is there a scenario this would not work?

I am using nodered instead of home assistants built-in scripting (see below). I have a node that listens to the wiser_event event and it emmits a message containing the event data.

I have worked arround this similarly to your above snippet by extracting the entity_id and then querying the entity state separately but this is more convoluted, especially given the code is all there already.

Ok that makes sense when using nodered. I'll add some event data for next release.

Added to v3.2.3beta release if you could check it.

@ep1cman Were you able to check this?

Hi sorry for the delay, I can confirm that the events are now spitting out additional data as requested. Thanks!

Here is a screenshot of the event being recieved in NodeRED:

Great. Closing issue. Now formally released in v3.3.0.
