Influx Integration: Move from YAML --> UI

Installation Method: Home Assistant OS
Core: 2026.3.4
Supervisor: 2026.03.2
Operating System: 17.1
Frontend: 20260312.1

I was running Influx Integration perfectly fine and then I did the core upgrade to 2026.1. I got the repair notice about deprecation and migration into UI from configuration.yaml.

I successfully commented out the identified entries leaving only the following:

influxdb:
#  api_version: 2
#  ssl: true  # Set to true if using HTTPS
#  host: !secret influx_host
#  token: !secret influx_token
#  organization: !secret influx_org
#  bucket: !secret influx_bucket
  tags:
    source: HA
  tags_attributes:
    - friendly_name
  default_measurement: units
  include:
    entities:
      - sensor.ecm_1240_ch1_w
      - sensor.ecm_1240_ch2_w
      - sensor.ecm_1240_aux1_w
      - sensor.ecm_1240_aux2_w
      - sensor.lift_pump_activations_last_24hrs

For my setup, I want ONLY these specific sensors loaded to the Influx DB.

  1. no matter what I do (including deleting the entry and recreating in the UI), I’m not able to edit the Influx integration entity in the UI

  2. I was doing an explore in the Influx DB today and I can see what looks like HA loading EVERYTHING into the DB (ignoring the INCLUDE). This is new.

Any help understanding and steps to fix would be appreciated. I’m happy to migrate to the UI but I want only my INCLUDE specified sensr ids saved in my DB (like it was before).

Is that code in your configuration.yaml file or in another file. I would hazard a guess that the config is not being loaded from yaml as by default the InfluxDB Integration includes all entities.
