well he said that if i dont exclude the device, by default they are recorded, but u just said that if i dont include the device then it wont be recorded?
I’m saying that if you have no explicit exclusions in your config and only inclusions, then everything is excluded by default, except what was specifically included. So to some extend yes, there might be the case that if entity is not specifically included it will not be recorded.
Not sure if this is helpful, but I use sql to manually extract the data points and then use an online converter to convert it to a format that works with Google Earth – then I can see it in Google Earth with all its power…
For example:
- Export geolocations: Time, longitude, latitude, altitude
(SENSOR=115; START=1738872000; END=1738880100; sqlite3 $DB "SELECT DATETIME(last_updated_ts, 'unixepoch', 'localtime'), shared_attrs FROM states JOIN state_attributes ON(states.attributes_id = state_attributes.attributes_id) WHERE metadata_id = $SENSOR AND last_updated_ts >= $START AND last_updated_ts <= $END" | sed 's/\([^|]*\)|.*latitude":\([^,]*\).*longitude":\([^,]*\).*altitude":\([^,]*\).*/\1\t\2\t\3\t\4/')
