# 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: ~3,000+ fewer state changes recorded per hour
|
|
# Updated: 2026-06-01 - added 450+ unavailable/ghost entities found via API audit
|
|
# =====================================================================
|
