HA Entity Explorer App (Add-on)

Hi

I share with you here my new HA App (Addon). It also can run as standalone.

HA Entity Explorer is an app that displays entity/attributes graph and data from ha history.
Quiet usefull for developpers and Q&A.

It grabs selected entity history from HA history or external json ( exported from the app ) and display entity and attributes graph and data.

You can select the timeframe you want, and access to attributes of any points in the graph.
It can navigate through attributes dicts , export/import full data or just attribute ones.

It’s available as an app/addon in HA, just add the github repo above to the addons repositories.

Features

  • Entity Browser: Search and select any entity from your Home Assistant instance
  • Interactive Charts: Zoom, pan, and explore entity history with ECharts
  • Attribute Explorer: Click on chart points to view all entity attributes
  • Custom Date Range: Select the time period you want to analyze
  • Data Export: Export entity or attribute history to JSON for external analysis
  • Multi-language: Available in English and French
  • Entity Filtering: Whitelist/blacklist entities for security

It’s funny you actually accurately refer to it as an app but use Add-on(s) because that’s what HA does/did. FWIW as of HA 2026.2 Add-ons will be labelled Apps. During the transition you may want to note that since a new user will not be able to find Add-onsAdd-on Store.

I followed a bit this discussion at the beginning, didn’t knew finally Ha core choosed the rename side. At first it semt the consensus was keeping add-on.

What I call the app is the software itself as it can run standalone… The addon is the docker packaging for HA.

Now will have to use app for evrything so…
