Some very good information here: (Note that the database changes from time to time, newer posts have updated the SQL to work with the current schema.)
Exactly! Personally I think whenever a new entity is created, the dialog should have a check box to include or exclude it from Recorder. The default should be exclude. This is already done for selecting a new device’s “area,” which to me is far less important.
At a minimum, this should be emphasized in all the “getting started” documentation. I have seen it popping up in some places, so I think the message is starting to get through.
