Ignore entities or/and services #100

It's more a request than an issue. Please add a functionality to change/expand ignore list by special criteria's. If I'm absent from home, I switch off power supply of different devices (e.g. ALEXA, fan, ac, etc.). If I do this, the entities of this devices are recognized by watchman, but in this case it makes no sense. So, I'll create an automation to change the ignore-list by status "home/not_home". I would appreciate, if you'll add this feature to watchman. Thank you very much in advance! Harald

Alternatively, in a similar scenario we may choose a different approach: -- the entities are keeping same data (even for unneeded devices); -- but the report in Markdown (which I would generate myself) would have only needed data.

This approach has its advantages & disadvantages...
