Hi
Isn’t it possible to set the purge time for individual items in home assistant? I like to keep some data like my power consumption and heating data for longer time and I like to know if the light on the baht room was on.

No it isn’t.
Long term statistics are not purged though. So your energy dashboard will display as far back as your last database crash
Feel free to vote here:
I’d like to be able to set a Recorder keep_days value for each entity.
Background: New and non-technical users are steered toward running HA on a RPi with an SD card. Yet, if they take the defaults, every event and state change is recorded in the SQL database on the SD card, leading to a bloated database file and shortened SD card life.
Yes, I know there are lots of ways to change these defaults, including using other databases and database locations. But for most beginners, it’s a steep learn…
