The history component has an exclude option to hide entities form the history pane, but history for all of these is still written to the HASS database.
How about an exclude option for the recorder component, so status updates for recorded entities are never written to the database? This would help combat the ever growing database sizes by not writing status updates for things we may not care about. For example, I have 2 door sensors in a group “doors”. When one door opens, I get a database entry for both that specific door sensor, plus a database entry for the doors group. Since I don’t really care about the status or history of the doors group, I would like to exclude its information from being written to the database.
