Bringing the logging and recorder settings to the UI, for example to entity configuration. This makes it less annoying to add new entities and turning logging off.
I’m really digging the .yaml less life.
A nice list of checkboxes that would let us select what is being monitored by recorder.

I don’t really love the cloud ui, but any ui is better than no ui
