It would be a cool feature if, when looking at a named trigger, there was some way for me to see how many times it's being used currently, and to get a list of those usages.
That would help me to see which ones are actively in use, and which are just legacy/similar that could potentially be cleaned up.
Agreed! If there's such a thing as writers block for automation creation, that's exactly what i've got right now; would love to see use cases next to the triggers and actions for quicker transitioning into using BTT (finding the steep learning curve has stopped me from creating even a single thing and i've had this installed for months now)
Understanding how I use BTT has also been something I've wanted to do for a while. Currently, it's possible to see some basic information by opening up the BTT app and then clicking on this menu option: "View" → "Show Usage Info".
What I'm trying to figure out is how is this chart generated? Where is the data coming from? @Andreas_Hegenberg could you provide some clarification on this?
Figuring this out would mean we could accomplish:
@Renee_E I'm not sure we're talking about the same thing here.
My request above was to see a list of places where I am already using the named trigger/etc; whereas it sounds like you may be asking more for examples about how you could use each thing? I may be misinterpreting you though.
@fortred2 I believe we're talking about different things here. When I say "how many times it's used" I don't mean "how many times has it been triggered", but I actually mean "how many places is the named action currently being referenced".
I suspect for my use case, there might be a way to dig into the underlying preset triggers/actions and then do some enumeration to try and calculate it myself; but what I'd prefer is to be able to see it in a simple way within the BTT UI;
For example, a very poorly implemented version of this might look like:
Ideally it would:
