Node type Device, Using Trigger, some Enteties not visible in drop down list

[RicardP]

I am trying to add a trigger by entity sensor.ftx_rotor_alarm that is created under device FTX

But it does not show up in the list...

I cannot find out how this list is populated but I suppose it should be filtered out by Device "FTX"

I tried to restart Node-RED integration if entities was not refreshed

If you want to trigger based on an entity’s state, you’re probably better off using the events: state node.

The list is populated directly from Home Assistant. Internally, Home Assistant handles all the device triggers and simply notifies Node-RED when the selected trigger occurs.

Thank you @zachowj, I think I tried the Event node but I will check again :)

Still it is strange why some entities does not show up, I think I ask the developer of Östberg HERU integration first.
