What’s the exclude text pattern so it only outputs devices and not entities?
The blueprint is for listing Entities. The text pattern is a filter… “Pattern-based exclusions using text strings”
for example, I use this to exclude entities I do not want in the list…
shuffle
repeat
battery
Battery
disturb
schedule
indication
Thanks for sharing. How to add lights ( matter devices) into this blueprint.
light domain is excluded. You can edit the blueprint YAML to remove that exclusion… you will get any/all offline lights from any integration
Did anyone notice a jump in CPU usage while using this blueprint?
As soon as I activate it, my HAOS CPU goes from 3% to 6-7%. In glances I can see that the python3 process needs at least 30% CPU time (instead of 3-5% without the blueprint).
Thats only possible if you have Real-Time debug turned on. Otherwise, it only runs on the the schedule you set.
I’ve disabled all logging, but the second I do activate the automation based on that blueprint, CPU usage spikes up. Any hints regarding that config?

When I “take control” I can obviously seeing that automation checking if debug is activated (sure, as debug is activated by each change). When I do manually remove that trigger condition, CPU goes down. (Screenshot of modified version attached)
Any idea why checking but not being activated lead to that CPU usage?
You are correct. I updated the blueprint to disable (comment out) the trigger so people can use it only when they need to. Thanks for finding this!

POSTED: Version 2026.02.14.41d
- Recent Fixes: Debug triggers, Template syntax errors, To-Do list output, Empty notifications, Button trigger fix
- Important Update: Real-Time Debug trigger happened with every entity change so the trigger code is now commented out. If you want to use it you will need to modify the code to add it back in. Change made since lower-powered systems would see high CPU use with this code running.
Hi, just installed this blueprint on a fully up to date HAOS install. When trying to create an automation of the blueprint, any time I try to save it, I get the following error which prevents me from doing so.
Message malformed: Entity IDs cannot be None for dictionary value @ data['entity_id']
I’m not doing anything wild with my configuration, and that’s a pretty vague error, so I’m really not sure what the problem is. Here’s my YAML config:

Any help would be appreciated.
Hey,
I just found out the field “Set Button Trigger” under Trigger Settings is mandatory. So, waiting for the fix, you could create a dummy button in the drop-down menu.
Good catch, thanks, that was the issue I was having. This should definitely be optional, not required.
fixed in 44c, posted a min ago
Can we have custom actions use the same settings as in “Device Notification” section? For example, I only want a notification if there are 1 or more offline devices.
- choose:
- alias: Perform the custom actions
conditions:
- condition: template
value_template: '{{ include_custom_actions == "enable_custom_actions" }}'
- condition: template
value_template: '{{ include_easy_notify == "enable_easy_notify" or include_easy_notify == "enable_easy_okay_notify" }}'
- condition: template
value_template: '{{ trigger.id != "debug_trigger" }}'
sequence: !input custom_actions
POSTED… Version 2026.02.23.45c
- ADDED: Custom Actions option to run only when offline devices are detected
@dropthemic pls test and LMK how it works
I reimported the blueprint to Version 2026.02.23.45c, but the automation still triggers whenever I view a trace. It even triggers when I navigate between traces. How do I get it to stop triggering all the time?
Update: I have realtime debugging off. Still triggers and causing my system to disconnect.
I found (and fixed in 46c) the issue… it was a harmless 85ms “trigger check” on every state change but no actions ran.
If you keep Debug code disabled, now nothing will run at all until the trigger occurs.
🚀 Version 2026.03.08.46c
- New: improved overall system performance (fewer entity checks when not needed)
- recent add: Custom Actions option to run only when offline devices are detected
- recent fix: Debug triggers, Template syntax errors, To-Do list output, Empty notifications, Button trigger fix
I reimported the blueprint to 46c. The trace navigation seemed to be fixed, but new errors occur instead. I think these new errors may prevent the automation from running at all.
Perhaps the blueprint might benefit from the suggestion made here?
I just retested all functions (auto-add to to-do, action buttons, filter out all devices, etc, etc) I cannot repro your error.
Restart HA and if you still get it send the Trace file and the Log Errors in text, not screenshots.
I restarted and tried again. The same problem reoccurs. Here is the full text from the log.
