[Question]: Enable users to exclude devices from the auto-discovered list #92

Closed MarkTarry closed 7 months ago

MarkTarry commented 8 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.

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

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.
