Including rapidly changing entities in logbook #117

Closed Jbithell closed 19 hours ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I currently exclude the following globs from recorder history because they rapidly change and therefore take up space in the home assistant database

recorder:
  exclude:
    entity_globs:
      - sensor.*_next_checkin
      - sensor.*_last_seen
      - sensor.*_next_update

Describe the solution you'd like

Apologies if I haven't seen it here, or I'm looking in the wrong place, but has it been suggested that these are excluded from history recording at plugin level? They are useful debugging features, but their historic values are (in my view) probably less useful.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Providing documentation on how to exclude them - this might be a simple easier win.
