# =====================================================================
# Home Assistant Recorder Exclude Configuration
# =====================================================================
# Add this to your configuration.yaml (merge with existing recorder: if any)
#
# This config excludes high-churn, low-value entities from the recorder
# database. These entities will still work in automations, dashboards,
# and templates — they just won't have historical data stored.
#
# Estimated impact: ~2,500+ fewer state changes recorded per hour
# =====================================================================

recorder:
  # Keep 5 days of history (down from default 10) - reduces DB size significantly
  purge_keep_days: 5
  # Commit every 3 seconds instead of 1 - reduces disk I/O
  commit_interval: 3

  exclude:
    # -----------------------------------------------------------------
    # DOMAINS: Exclude entire domains that don't need history
    # -----------------------------------------------------------------
    domains:
      - update            # 82 update entities - we don't need a history of available updates
      - input_button      # Momentary buttons - no useful history
