"Entity not recorded" under statistics

Configuration Frontend

I don’t understand why I see this error under “developer tools” > “statistics”.

I am only recording some entities, using recorder’s include:. Why do I see this error for some entities, any idea?

This is the text of the error:

Entity not recorded

State changes of this entity are not recorded, therefore, we cannot track long term statistics for it.

You probably excluded this entity, or have just included some entities.

I’m not 100% sure why devs decided to make this an “issue”, but you can generally ignore it, it doesn’t indicate any problem.

It’s just an indication that “if you were looking for statistics here, we can’t record it for this entity”. Best you can do is ignore it.

Thanks. But why these specific entities? It does not list all entities only some very specific ones.

I guess it has to be entities that are enabled for statistics (such as having a state_class)
