Hi everyone,
I wanted to share an update on HAGHS (Home Assistant Global Health Score). What started as a small tool to keep my own instance clean has grown quite a bit, and I am excited to see it is helping so many of you reach that 100/100 score.
We even got featured on How-To Geek recently! Link: This tool gave my Home Assistant server a rating (and told me how to improve it)
What is HAGHS?
HAGHS is not just another system monitor. Instead of just showing CPU and RAM, it focuses on Maintenance Debt:
- Zombie Entities: Finds unavailable or orphaned entities that clutter your system.
- Database Hygiene: Monitors your SQL/SQLite DB size (the real bottleneck for backups and boot times).
- Update Management: Tracks pending updates as maintenance tasks.
- Hardware Context: Scores your system based on the hardware it is running on.
Latest Status: v2.1.2
Includes several bug fixes and improved sensor logic.
The big news: We are currently in the final stages of being added to the official HACS store. The brand assets are already merged, and the PR is under review. For now, you can still add it as a custom repository: https://github.com/D-N91/home-assistant-global-health-score
What is coming in v2.2?
I am already working on the next big step based on community feedback:
- State Bloat Protection: Intelligent capping of entity lists in attributes.
- Advanced DB Analysis: Better logic for dynamic database growth thresholds.
- New Advisor Recommendations: Even more precise tips to improve your score.
A huge thank you to everyone who has tested the integration and shared feedback. It has been amazing to see how much more stable some instances have become just by hunting down those 0-score “zombies.”

I would love to hear your thoughts. What is your current score? 100/100 or is there some cleaning to do?
Cheers, Denzo
