Feature request - Know where an entity or service is used -

[RASBR]

Hello, This is really great, but I think it would be even greater if the user can use it to know where an entity or service is used?

Thank you R.S

If you add the Lovelace card to your UI you can hover over the file name where an orphaned entity is located and the pop-up will even show the line number in the file. Or is that not what you are looking for?

Here is an example:

Hovering your mouse over the word automations.yaml shows this entity was referenced on the lines 1774, 1781, 1791 and 1804 in automations.yaml

I didn't pause the mouse over before, this is really helpful.

Thank you very much. R.S.

How to "hover" on touch devices like smartphones by the way 😀

[filmgarage]

You can hover as long as you like, but nothing will happen I'm afraid... 😂

[bcutter]

For sure. That's why building UI relying on features only available on a certain type of devices is... oldschool 😎

You may want to file a feature request to make these file names "clickable" and show the line number. Personally I prefer repairing these issues on my laptop anyway. It's too cumbersome on my mobile.

Line numbers are nice, but do not help a "GUI" only user. Would it be possible to show the name of the automation that is containing the troublemaker?

I came across this in the readme section:

"4. To display line numbers in the report just remove .split(':')[0] from the card template"

If you do so you don't have to hover over the file name anymore.
