I’m using the standard recorder out the box setup.
I’ve noticed that on the frontend, number entities won’t load when inspecting their detailed view, or when filtering in the logbook screen.
I can see that a websocket message subscribe message is sent for the logbook with the number entity id I select, but nothing is ever returned.
I don’t see any errors in the console or the HA log
The issue seems to be with any number entity
Number entity (never loads logbook)
Switch entity (logbook shows), as do other types
Logbook viewer loads fine when not filtering or by entities other than number.
(Working):
(Filtering by number entity):
There are registered issues in GitHub, you can find them and add your observations.

Typical, sorry about that, I did search but I couldn’t find anything, i’ve since found Fix logbook keeps loading by silamon · Pull Request #24351 · home-assistant/frontend · GitHub apparently it should have been fixed in 2025.4, I’m still running 2025.3
There is at least one more open issue there, for input numbers as well:

### Checklist
- [X] I have updated to the latest available Home Assistant versi… on.
- [X] I have cleared the cache of my browser.

### Describe the issue you are experiencing
Consider this template sensor:
```
template:
- sensor:
- name: ...
state: >-
{{ states('input_select.test_value') }}
```
which may be switched between values like `one`, `two`, `three` etc.
It is possible to see a Logbook for this sensor:

But the Logbook is not available in more-info:

which seems to be not correct.
---------
Another case.
Consider a sensor with `device_class: aqi` or `ph`.
These classes do not have UoM - but values are numerical.
But these sensors may be selected in Logbook:

It seems to be inconsistent to have a Logbook available & chartline graph at same time:

Although the `aqi` & `ph` sensors' more-info do not have a logbook displayed.
Proposals:
1. If an entity may be selected on a Logbook page (or for a Logbook card) - always show a Logbook in more-info as well.
2. A `sensor` entity could be selected on a Logbook page (or for a Logbook card) if this entity:
- is not numerical;
- does not have UoM;
- either does not have `device_class` or has a `device_class: enum`.

Yeh so there’s still no log book entries for number entities.
Apparently, according the the PR author, “continious sensors don’t provide logging”
What makes an entity continuous, there doesn’t seem to be much info about that in the docs?
