[Feature Request] Allow separation of movies and television about sensor.plex_recently_added HOT 8 CLOSED

Just give us the ability to name the sensors entity. Then you can just add two sensors like below.
Right now it gets a random sensor.plex_recently_added_2 name which can change on the next reboot.

  - platform: plex_recently_added
    token: !secret plex_api_key
    host: !secret docker_host
    port: 32400
    ssl: false
    ssl_cert: false
    download_images: false
    max: 5
    section_types:
    - movie
  - platform: plex_recently_added
    token: !secret plex_api_key
    host: !secret docker_host
    port: 32400
    ssl: false
    ssl_cert: false
    download_images: false
    max: 5
    section_types:
    - show

To be honest, by library entirely might be useful.

I wonder how hard it would be to expose seperate sensors for each library dynamically.

from sensor.plex_recently_added.

Yeah, library is the way to go. When it grabs the section numbers we can just grab the "type" too (returns "movie" or "show").

I would also love to have one instance for each library, and even an on deck.

i made a copy of the .py file named plex2_recently_added.py and changed line 87 to "plex2_recently_added". Then made a duplicate sensor in HA , one with movies and one with shows...

Have not figured out a way to do on deck though, even though the address is there...just doesn't scrape correctly.

Thanks a ton, pulled your PR. This is now possible with the latest release.

Awesome :-)
