v1.12.0 — Per-Source Grouping & Custom Group Names
Closes #15.
New Features
- Per-source grouping config. Each
sourceentry can now declare its owngroupingblock that overrides the card-level grouping. Events from a source with its own override are grouped in isolation — they won't mix into buckets from other sources — and the per-source result is merged back into the global timeline by timestamp. Sources without an override fall through to the card-level config, so existing setups are unchanged. - Custom group summary names.
grouping.group_name(card-level or per-source) replaces the auto-generated "N X events" text. Supports{count},{label},{source}, and{entity}placeholders. - Editor UI for both. The Grouping section gains a Group Name input with persistent helper text listing the placeholders. Each source row also gets a Grouping Override expansion panel built from
ha-expansion-panel+ha-selector(the same primitives HA's own config editors use). Blank fields inherit the card-level value; a Clear override button drops the entire override. The panel's secondary line auto-updates between"Inherits the card-level Grouping config"and"Customized · N overrides".
Bug Fixes
group_by: entitynow actually names groups by entity. PreviouslybuildSummarychecked label-agreement first, so a bucket of entity-grouped events that happened to share a category (e.g. alldefault) rendered as"5 default events"instead of the entity name.- Source-row Source type + Name fields render with visible chrome. They previously used raw
<label>+ha-textfield/ha-selectmarkup with inlineflex:sizing; in recent HA frontend builds the textfield rendered without visible chrome. Both now useha-selector.
Example

- type: rest

min_group_size: 2
group_by: category
group_name: "{count} {label} detections"
- type: history
name: Doors
entities: [binary_sensor.front_door, binary_sensor.back_door]
grouping:
group_by: entity
group_name: "{entity} — {count} events"
grouping:
# Card-level grouping still applies to any source that doesn't have its own.

Cumulative result of v1.12.0-rc.1 (logic) → rc.2 (editor UI) → rc.3 (rewrote Grouping Override with HA-native primitives) → rc.4 (fixed invisible source Source type + Name fields).
