I recently bought some outdoor contact sensors for my gates. They are Zooz Long Range 800s:
I then use TileMaster to create tiles for them that show status, as well as the last time they updated:
The thing is, the %lastAct% variable in TileMaster is pulling from the device - and that includes more than open/closed status, it also shows when the sensor reported battery level:
I don't care about that, so I only want the "events" for this device to list open/close events. Doesn't seem the drivers for "Generic Z Wave Contact Sensor" nor "Zooz Contact Sensor" allow this option.
Does anyone know how I can get this sensor to ONLY list events for open/close, and not for the battery status so that my tiles will show the last open/close instead of when the battery level polled?
The is not possible for the device, at least not without a custom driver that intentionally ignores all other events (and would prevent you from seeing this information anywhere).
A better approach is to look at the app. If the one you are using, which I am not familiar with, does not have a way to actually do what you want, perhaps it could be added or you could use another approach.

These are the available device details when using Grid.
This tile monitors my doors.

This is pretty cool. Any way I can put both the lock (separate device) and the sensor's status on the same line? I realize I can read up on the documentation to figure this out, but if you know off the top of your head I'd take your answer

This is a more complex one taking data from a weather device:
As you can see you can have multiple values in the same cell horizontally or vertically, which is what I think you are asking. You can replace values like open\closed on\off with icons if you prefer.
Tile Builder has a standard version which is free and an Advanced version which is donation based and includes a ton of extra capabilities plus extra modules for Grid, which you see here or Rooms which lets you do more of a physical layout like this:
