I have the same problem. Recorder integration wonā€™t start, but thereā€™s nothing in the logs indicating what the problem could be.

After 300s it just gives up. Everything works after reverting to 2024.10.

Any pointers that could help getting to the bottom of this? I need my current database, I canā€™t just start from scratch. The history is too valuable to me.

Iā€™m using MariaDB, which itself does not have any relevant log entries. Starting in safe mode makes no difference.

What about using the influx DBS to store first your historical data? I did not notice that my influx DBS was not up and running for a while which caused actually my loss of data.

There is an open core issue Database problem with history Ā· Issue #130115 Ā· home-assistant/core Ā· GitHub

There have been some changes to the recorder that seem to impact performance for large databases upon startup.

There is a temporary fix that worked out for me in the github issue.
