Hi there,

Managing the recorder or logbook includes/excludes in Home Assistant can get messy when dealing with hundreds of entities. I created HA Recorder Expert to solve this problem by providing a clean Web GUI to manage your included and excluded entities without touching YAML directly.

​Key features:

  • ​Replaces manual YAML edits with an intuitive UI.
  • ​Safely updates your configuration while preserving existing YAML structure and comments.
  • ​Automatically detects and tracks new entities in your system.
  • Easy migration of your current config.
  • ​Built on a modern stack (React + FastAPI).
  • ​Lightweight and fast – tested and runs smoothly with 1000+ entities.

​You can find the project, screenshots, and installation instructions on GitHub:

​Feedback, suggestions, and PRs are always welcome!

very nice project, I’m wondering how to exclude certain events?

event_types:
  # - state_changed
  - lovelace_updated
  - recorder_5min_statistics_generated 
  - loxone_event 
  - call_service
  - hacs*
  - service_removed
  - service_registered 
  - entity_registry_updated 
  - movement._change

Hi All,

I changed the url already.

Version 1.1.0 released.
Excluding event types added in the toolbar on the left side.

Things that are mainly changed:

  • RECORDER and LOGBOOK now save independently — two separate save buttons, each disabled when that mode has nothing to change. no more saving both when you only touched one.
  • unsaved badge actually tracks real diff — the dot compares current config against what’s on disk, so reverting changes makes it disappear. it’s not just a flag that flips on first click.
  • event types management — you can now exclude HA event types directly from the recorder sidebar. pulled live from HA, saved to YAML, NEW badge when new ones appear after a save.
  • logbook shows what recorder is already filtering — inherited exclusions from recorder are visible as read-only in logbook mode so you know what HA is actually filtering without guessing.

And many more (see CHANGELOG.md)

Please give it a go, and you will not be dissapointed!

Cheers.
