For the love of god, I can't figure out how to register that. It looks like this is currently a hardcode list of strategies that are shown in the add dashboard dialog?

Yeah the strategy works, I'm looking to make it consumable for the end-user... as in, getting it show up on the "Add dashboard" dialog

Yeah, it's a hardcoded list

#

It still comes from the time that there was just the masonry, then hardcoded stuff was added while exploration happened

Just dived in the code and there's no way to let it show up there if you're going for a custom (that is not in the ha frontend repo) strategy
