Exclude this entity from Home Assistant

exclude

Can anyone tell me what “Exclude this entity from Home Assistant” is supposed to do in the Z-Wave configuration?

I have it checked on several entities that I don’t want to see in HA or have reported in my logbook but I still seem them on the dev-states page and in the logbook.

I do see in zwave_device_config.yaml that they are marked as ignore:true but it doesn’t seem to be doing anything.

A related question: If that checkbox is not going to keep the devices out of HA, can I do an exclude on the logbook that is a wildcard or something so I don’t have enter ALL the different sensors coming off of my Zooz devices? I don’t mean domain because I am using the sensor domain and have a lot of other sensor that I don’t want to have to list out in an include either…

It looks like you are supposed to include device_config manually: https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/issues/13298

Yes, I did eventually find that. It was not obvious until I dug deeper into the documentation. Thank you!
