I have no need of the many badges from our smartphones cluttering up the Home Assistant interface. Drilling down into the Lovelace configuration options, it looks like one can delete the Entities in the Raw configuration editor – haven’t actually tried it yet – but is the most optimal way to make the badges go away?
To remove the badges from the frontend you have to take control of Lovelace and edit the view.
From then on you will have to add new devices to your frontend as they will not be added automatically.
If you don’t want to do this, you should also be able to disable the entities in the configuration / entities menu. I think this should remove them from an automatically created Lovelace page but have not tried it.
