Use a dedicated icon for YAML automations that cannot be edited in UI

[Mincka]

Would it be possible to use the "Read-only" icon used the non-editable entities for Automations that are defined in YAML?

When you have YAML and UI automations, you are unable to tell which ones can be edited from the UI. There is a pen for all the automations and when you click on it, the pop-up tells you you cannot edit them.

By the way, it seems the tooltip is incorrect since it says the same thing than the one of the info button "Sow info about automation".

I fixed the edit tooltip a few days ago.

In my list I do have automations that cannot be edited and they get a crossed out edit pen icon plus have a matching tooltip:

Do you have an example of a non editable automation that cannot be handled by the editor? If I create some in the YAML directly I can display and edit them through the UI just fine.

Maybe I misunderstood the issue. Is it because my automations are loaded using include_dir_list? So indeed, they are not in automations.yaml.

automation: !include automations.yaml
automation split: !include_dir_list automation

Here is one example for which the pen is enabled and I get the error on click:

Stored in
/config/automation/area/buanderie/lave_linge_termine.yaml
Loaded by automation split: !include_dir_list automation

trigger:

  from: 'on'
  platform: state
  to: 'off'

    message: Lavage du linge terminé.

It's because of your unique ID in the first line id: '1575195793357'

If you remove that you'll get the crossed out pencil icon like spacegaier's photo above. However you will lose out on some other features like the ability to specify a name/icon/entity ID from the UI and the ability to add it to an area.

So there's a little bit of a tradeoff involved, it's up to you what you value more, the warning or those features.
