The Community did a great job of figuring out how to manually include / exclude what type of data to keep, but manually copy / pasting every entry into the configuration.yaml still is a huge pain in the ass.
Why not make a user-friendly “Database Management GUI” with a list of every entity with a checkbox option for recorder / history / logbook, so i can go through the list and easily check / uncheck every entitiy. Maybe even add options to include / exclude domains, etc.
Basically the same you do in configuration.yaml, but with an easy to use graphical user interface, directly integrated into Home Assistant. No more manually copying a list into spreadsheets, laboriously assign every entitiy and then manually copy / pasting that into a configuration file.
I kind of cant imagine no ones ever thought of that, but i didnt find anything in the search.
