    No, the actual description when you click on a config

    The info_*.json file contains the description text.

    Not sure how that works with Automation but try adding this line under 'Type:...'
    Code:
    "Description":"Your description here.",

    There are 2 descriptions, one in info.json that shows for configs that don't have their own descriptions, and others per config. I have never seen descriptions in pc files though.
