Disable entities for cloud replication

I would like for it to be possible on the integration itself to mark entity-types to never be synced to the cloud, eg. google or amazon.
It’s nice to have all these sensors and switches, but a lot of them you would never use voice to control anyways.
Look for example at the unifi protect integration:


I’ve marked the ones that I don’t want to sync to google, but of course it should be user settable.
The protect integration might not be the best example, it being a custom integration, but the same goes for eg. WLED integration, it will create a TON of items, that are all pushed to the cloud.

This already exists.

I see, and how do I set that up? For me it looks like it’s a developer setting for when making the integration? I don’t see how I as end user can configure it?

The integration itself set it. So a developer needs to change it for the integrations you use.

Ok, so the possiblity is there, it’s just not used very much, eg. the WLED integration which is a core integration. So I guess my suggestion is still somewhat valid, that the end user should have the possibility to exclude entitiy-types on the integration level.
