Excluding devices from device tracker

Configuration
1

I have just updated HA to 0.97.2 and maybe its just the layout and having a look around but I am now seeing a lot more device.tracker devices appearing in unused entities than I was previously.

Can you exclude devices from this list once they have been detected? It is now telling me that my Xbox and Sonos are “home”. Feels a bit unnecessary and cluttered, I thought you could “ignore” devices but cannot see how from the docs now?

I also read in the docs that known_devices is having support stopped, should I not bother giving devices friendly names using the known_devices.yaml? Should I just give devices a name override using the cog in unused entities now, not set them up in known_devices.yaml?

It is no longer possible to excluded these devices.

This was a decision by the developers to make setup ‘easier’.

Yes it is cluttered and unnecessary.

You might like to add your concern to the release topic where this has been discussed.

Same issue. Is this still not possible? I see “track: true” but even if I change to false it still shows them as home and away etc. very unnecessary!

Just take control of your UI and remove the entities you don’t want…
