[BUG] Cannot find '*' in Home Assistant entities

[exetico]

Describe the bug
As part of the cleanup of the old * ha-floorplan entity in Home Assistant, it's not possible to use that, to trigger on every entity. It was not meant to be like that, at the time I did some changes a few releases back.

Right now, the user cannot use the * as a entity key, to listen for changes on every entity.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Add a rule with entity: '*' as the selector for the entity
2. Save and see the log error

Expected behavior
We expect ha-floorplan to hook up to every entity change in the rule.e

Screenshots

Additional context
Are also part of ha-floorplan v. 1.0.40.

Is there a way to solve that and not reintroduce the problem we previously had that led to its removal?

[exetico]

Hopefully. I didn't found time to check today. It won't be a thing, it thats reintroduced, for sure. But I really doubt it. I just need to find some time, in order to take the best path 😊.

Hi.

I have the same problem with HA 2024.04. I have done many tests and it always gives the same error that it cannot find the entity in the SVG.

Any solution or workaround?

Thanks

Sadly, no @joseaguardia, as I've not found time to work with it.

I'd like to ask: Did you just update Home Assistant, and faced the issue after the update, or maybe both ha-floorplan and Home Assistant? :-)

Both the component and HA are in the latest version. I hope you have time to solve it, the project looks very good

@joseaguardia why do you need to monitor every entity?

[joseaguardia]

@OzGav I don't understand you well. I don't want to monitor all the entities, just some like the lights, as it appears in the manual

[OzGav]

Then you have added to an issue that is not relevant to you. Open a discussion in that area and we will help you there

[exetico]

Good catch @OzGav, I didn't think it was a XZ problem.

@joseaguardia Lets have a fresh discussion from you, with the problem you're facing. Try and make it clear, what you're trying to do, and why thats important/needed. Hopefully we're able to help you out. The solution you describes would be more than possible to do, without using *.

Just follow up in a new discussion, and mention the issue ref there 👍.
