Hmm that's indeed a tricky one, which is a suitable category.
Quite a lot of setups use ultrasonic distance sensor to measure water levels, so this could also have been "distance", which might even be more confusing when searching for this plugin

Re: mqttimport does not throw an event
Can you also take a look at the ESPEasy logs to see if the logs mention an event to be generated?
Maybe it creates some different event?
Also if I'm not mistaken there was some checkbox on the MQTT import task to generate an event?
