Control recursion in the folder_watcher integration

Feature Requests

It would be helpful if there is a config to control whether the folder_watcher integration must recurse all children or not.

The behaviour is currently hardcoded, even though the docs seem to imply this can be controlled by saying it’s the default when in fact, it’s the only option.

For reference, I had trouble troubleshooting a case where I wanted to watch /tmp which will cause permission issues if all the children aren’t accessible.

Do you mean all those folders aren’t accessible by the HA user account your HA instance is running under?

That’s a different issue then. This issue is about a total failure when children folders aren’t accessible when owned by another user. Please log a separate feature request or bug report.
