[Question]: Enable users to exclude devices from the auto-discovered list #101

Closed MarkTarry closed 6 months ago

What happened?

When the entities field is omitted, the card auto-discovers entities in an area 👍

It would be useful to allow users to explicitly exclude certain entities, while retaining the ability to auto-discover all other devices in the area.

For example, on my front-drive I have an EV charger - which is integrated with HA, and has quite a lot of entities: image

It would be great if I could exclude some of these, while the card continues to auto-discover any new entities which I add to this area in future.

This was originally raised as https://github.com/junalmeida/homeassistant-minimalistic-area-card/issues/92, which has been auto-closed due to inactivity. I'm no longer able to add any further comments on there.

you can exclude entities by toggling off the "Visible" toggle.

Agreed, this is an option. But it also marks the entity Hidden across the entire Home Assistant instance. I'm suggesting a feature that allows users to exclude specific entities only from these area cards.

Apologies, GitHub wasn't offering any option to comment on the original issue. Then, after multiple refreshes, the option appeared!

Closing this one as a duplicate.
