The websocket command entity/source has been modified

Core and integrations

The websocket command entity/source has been greatly simplified:

It's no longer possible to get information for a single entity
Only the domain of the entities is included in the response, custom_component, config_entry and source are no longer present.

New response example

JSON

{
  "light.entity_1": {
    "domain": "template",
  },
  "switch.entity_2": {
    "domain": "shelly",
  },
}

Old response example

JSON

{
  "light.entity_1": {
    "custom_component": false,
    "domain": "template",
    "source": "platform_config",
  },
  "switch.entity_2": {
    "custom_component": false,
    "config_entry": "<config_entry_id>",
    "domain": "shelly",
    "source": "config_entry",
  },
}

The change was introduced in core PR#99439
