[Custom Integration] Entity Dependency Engine – map entity dependencies before renaming or removing entities
Entity Dependency Engine is a read-only custom integration that maps
relationships between Home Assistant entities.
It can show parents, children, ancestors and descendants, including
references from helpers, automations and scripts.
The first public release is now available through HACS as a custom
repository. I am looking for testers and feedback, especially for entity
types and helpers not yet handled correctly.
I created Entity Dependency Engine because Home Assistant does not provide a clear overview of where an entity is used.
Before renaming, removing, or changing an entity, it can be difficult to know which automations, scripts, dashboards, or other configurations depend on it. That makes even small changes risky and can lead to broken functionality that is hard to trace.
The integration was created to identify these dependencies and generate a clear report before changes are made.
