In scenes, you can retrieve the last « state » of an MQTT sensor. I would like to be able to retrieve the last « text » of an MQTT Text sensor to then reuse it in scenes: ![image](https://gladys-assistant-community.b-cdn.net/uploads/default/original/3X/5/8/58d9a6847fde25cb81eb7e87135d7ef445282292.png) ---

I’m wondering whether it’s useful to create a new action, or whether it’s instead the ‹ retrieve last state › action that should be improved to also work with text sensors… ---

I leave the choice to @pierre-gilles because I don’t know what’s simplest on the dev side. ---

Given that we’re aiming for simplification on the user side, I agree with @StephaneB . Nothing complicated on the dev side anyway, you just need to take into account the « type » of the feature to retrieve the correct column! ---

Thanks @Terdious for the info and I agree as well. I’ll change the post title. ---

Does that work for you? ![image](https://gladys-assistant-community.b-cdn.net/uploads/default/original/3X/e/9/e911dfb2cbda2f1c13f98cb309a0414bc8e69dab.png) ![image](https://gladys-assistant-community.b-cdn.net/uploads/default/original/3X/e/5/e56981b8c72e2fd4504ee4fe66a505982396323e.png) The PR : [Update DeviceGetValueParams to handle text device feature type by Terdious · Pull Request #2317 · GladysAssistant/Gladys · GitHub](https://github.com/GladysAssistant/Gladys/pull/2317/files) ---

That looks perfect to me @Terdious, I’ll test tomorrow and if it’s good I’ll merge, but as far as the code goes it looks good to me! ---
