Features

Entity Management

• View all entities organized by Integration > Device > Entity
• Enable or disable individual entities with one click
• Bulk enable/disable with confirmation dialogs (up to 500 entities at once)
• Real-time entity state display with color-coded status badges
• Alphabetically sorted integrations for easy navigation
• Device grouping with entity counts per device and integration
• One-click reveal — expanding an integration with exactly one device shows its entities immediately, no extra click on the device row
• Every integration row carries a three-box header without needing to expand: Categories (Controls/Sensors/Configuration/Diagnostic/Connectivity counts), Hardware (device-type counts: ⚡ Hardware, ☁️ Cloud, 🔧 Virtual, 📱 Mobile, 🏠 System, ❓ Unknown), and Areas & Labels (area/floor chips + a deduped HA Label rollup)
• Row actions (View Enabled / View Disabled / Enable All / Disable All / Accent color) live in a compact ⋯ menu on each integration and device card
• Opt-in accent colors — integrations stay neutral by default; give the ones that matter a colored bar + tinted logo from the ⋯ menu (with a None option to remove it)
• Device types you control — click an ❓ Unknown chip or badge to assign a type, reset to Auto anytime, and create your own types (name + color) that show up in chips, badges, and the Devices-view type filter
• Bulk Rename (✎✎) and Bulk Labels (🏷️) buttons on every entity card — greyed out until 2+ entities are selected, then activate instantly as you check boxes

Entity Renaming

• Click-to-rename any entity directly from the panel
• Domain preservation -- the sensor., light., etc. prefix is locked and stays intact
• Automatic propagation across automations, scripts, and helpers
• Conflict validation prevents duplicate entity IDs
• Bulk Rename panel — opens as a full-width inline view with a split layout: entity picker on the left (grouped by integration → device, collapsible, with per-group checkboxes) and the rename queue on the right
• Live preview in the queue — each entry shows the original entity ID, an editable new name field, and a live preview of the resulting ID (turns green when changed)
• Find & Replace at the top filters the entity picker in real time as you type; supports regex and case-sensitive matching
• Domain preservation — the sensor., light., etc. prefix is always locked
• Automatic propagation across automations, scripts, and helpers
• Conflict validation prevents duplicate entity IDs

Search & Filtering

| Filter Type | Description | |---|---| | Fuzzy Search | Smart search with fuzzy matching -- type "snr" to find "sensor", matches characters in order across entity IDs, names, integrations, and devices | | Text Search | Instant search across entity IDs, names, integrations, and devices with real-time filtering | | Domain Filter | Dropdown to filter by entity type (sensor, light, switch, binary_sensor, etc.) | | State Filter | Toggle between All, Enabled, or Disabled with live entity counts | | Integration Filter | Click an integration in the sidebar to show only its entities | | Label Filter | Filter by Home Assistant labels | | Filter Presets | Save and load your favorite filter combinations |

All filter buttons show live counts with color-coded indicators: green for enabled, red for disabled, amber for updates.

Sidebar Navigation

• Actions -- ↺ History (combined undo/redo timeline dialog), Export, Import, Favorites, 🕐 Last Activity (recorder-backed timeline view), Activity Log, Column Settings; bulk selection actions: Enable Selected, Disable Selected, Assign Area (includes floor), View Selected, Deselect All
• Labels -- Browse and filter by Home Assistant labels grouped by Devices, Areas, Automations, Scripts, Scenes, and Entities
• Groups -- Switch between grouping modes: Integration (default), Room, Type, Floor, Device Name
• Domains -- Filter by entity domain
• Integrations -- Quick-filter list with integration icons from Home Assistant Brands
• Help -- Built-in two-column guide with clickable table of contents

Grouping

• Integration (default) -- organized by integration and device
• Room / Area -- grouped by Home Assistant area assignments
• Type -- grouped by entity domain (all sensors together, all lights together, etc.)
• Floor -- grouped by Floor → Area → Device hierarchy
• Device Name -- all devices with matching names merged into one group

Favorites

• Star any entity to mark it as a favorite
• Dedicated Favorites filter in the sidebar shows only starred entities
• Favorites count displayed in the sidebar
• Add/remove via right-click context menu or bulk selection
• Persisted in browser local storage

Entity Aliases

• Create custom display names for entities without renaming them
• Non-destructive -- the actual entity ID is unchanged
• Set aliases through the right-click context menu
• Persisted in browser local storage

Labels Integration

• View and filter by Home Assistant's built-in label system
• Create new labels directly from Entity Manager
• Labels sidebar split into six sub-groups: Devices, Areas, Automations, Scripts, Scenes, Entities — only shown when labels of that type exist
• Clicking a label filters the main view, merging entity IDs from all matching groups
• Label Suggestions in the Suggestions dialog — 21 semantic categories (Lights, Dimmable Lights, Switches, Temperature Sensors, Motion Sensors, etc.), including Power Monitoring, Energy Consumed, Energy Returned, and generic Energy Monitoring as four separate rows; one-click "Apply to N" creates and assigns the label in HA
• Custom color picker — every label color picker (label editor, bulk labels, Assign dialog) offers the 19 HA presets plus a custom-hex swatch
• Expandable list with refresh capability; label data cached for performance

Entity Analysis

• Related tab -- other entities on the same device, plus Automation Impact: automations and scripts that appear to reference the entity
• Registry tab -- detailed entity properties, metadata, and configuration
• History tab -- entity state changes over the last 30 days

Activity Log

• Reads real Home Assistant state history — shows every entity state change across your entire HA instance, not just Entity Manager actions
• Events grouped by Room → Device → Entity with three collapsible levels
• Time range: 1h (default), 6h, 24h, 7d
• Search bar filters by entity ID, device, room, or state value
• Room filter chips with All / None buttons — select specific rooms to focus on; selection persisted between sessions
• Accessible from the Actions sidebar section

Last Activity Timeline

• 🕐 Last Activity button in the Actions sidebar section opens the full inline view
• Entities split into 15 domain-based sections: 🤖 Automations, ⚡ Scripts, 🎛️ Helpers, 🧩 Templates, 💡 Lights, 🔌 Switches, 🌡️ Sensors, 🔍 Binary Sensors, 📺 Media Players, ❄️ Climate & Environment, 🔒 Security, 📷 Cameras, 📍 People & Tracking, 🔘 Controls, ⬆️ Updates, ⚙️ Other (sub-grouped by integration)
• 9 time-range filter pills: All · Today · This Week · 1 Month · 3 Months · 6 Months · 1 Year · Older · Never — filter selection persisted between sessions
• Live search across entity ID, friendly name, device name, and integration with 200ms debounce
• Live count badge in the header updates as you filter/search
• Timestamps come from the HA recorder database — survive HA restarts (unlike in-memory last_changed which resets when entities briefly go unavailable)
• Automations and scripts use last_triggered from HA state attributes
• Refresh button invalidates the 1-hour localStorage cache and fetches fresh recorder data
• Clicking any row opens the full entity detail dialog

Undo / Redo

• ↺ History button in the sidebar opens a combined undo/redo timeline dialog
• Shows the full action history: redo actions (top, muted) → current state divider → undo actions (bottom)
• Click any row in the dialog to jump to that point in history; the list refreshes in-place
• Clear History button wipes both stacks (with confirmation)
• Supports: enable, disable, rename, display name change, label changes, device/area assignment, config import, and all bulk operations
• History survives page refresh (localStorage persistence)

Filter Presets

• Save your current filter configuration (domain, search term, state) as a named preset
• Load any saved preset to instantly restore a filter combination
• Delete presets you no longer need
• Quick-access buttons for each saved preset

Column Customization

• Entity ID
• State
• Device
• Entity Category
• Disabled By
• Automations Count
• Alias

Devices View

• Every device card has the same rich header as integration rows: name + stats, Categories / Hardware / Areas & Labels boxes, and a ⋯ actions menu (View Enabled / View Disabled / Enable All / Disable All)
• Device type filter in the toolbar: ⚡ Hardware, ☁️ Cloud, 🔧 Virtual, 📱 Mobile, 🏠 HA System, ❓ Unknown — plus any custom types you've created
• Assignable device types — Unknown badges are clickable; pick one of the built-in types, one of your own custom types, or Auto (heuristic detection). Manually assigned badges show a ✎ and can be changed or reset anytime
• Devices with the same display name are merged into a single group — useful for Shelly multi-relay devices where all channels share one name
• Every device (and same-name group) is split into standard HA category cards: ⚡ Controls, 📊 Sensors, ⚙️ Configuration, 🔧 Diagnostic, 📡 Connectivity with per-card entity counts and enabled/disabled breakdowns
• Cards are independently collapsible — opening one never affects others
• Entities whose device has a configuration_url show a 🔗 button to open the device web UI in a new tab
• Offline only toggle to focus on devices whose entities are all unavailable

Entity Detail Dialog

Hero Header (always visible while tab content scrolls):

• Type chips top-left: domain, platform, Disabled badge (if applicable), Area name
• Friendly name centered, with an inline pencil to rename (saves via update_entity_display_name)
• Entity ID in monospace below the name
• State displayed as a colour-coded pill (green for on/open, orange for unavailable/unknown, grey for off), with an inline Toggle / Press button for controllable entities, and Last changed / Last updated timestamps in locale-aware format

| Tab | Contents | |-----|----------| | Overview | Card grid: State (status, state, changed/updated, category), Area & Labels (entity + device label chips with manage buttons), Device (name, manufacturer, model, SW), Integration (title, domain, version, state) | | Attributes | All state attributes in a 2-column grid | | Registry | Full entity registry, device, and integration detail rows (unique ID, device class, connections, identifiers, config URL, …) | | Related | Other entities on the same device + Automation Impact (automations/scripts that appear to reference this entity) | | History | Compact timeline of state changes: coloured dot + state value + absolute timestamp |

Footer Action Buttons:

• Copy ID — copies entity ID to clipboard with a toast confirmation
• Enable / Disable — toggles entity state and closes the dialog
• Open in HA — opens the entity's HA settings page
• Close

Notification Center

• Bell icon (🔔) sits right of the panel title — a red badge shows unread count; the icon fills to mdi:bell-badge when unread items exist
• Clicking the bell opens a dropdown listing all notifications newest-first
• Four tracked event types:

• Persistent — stored in localStorage, survives page refreshes and HA restarts
• Rate-limited — same entity + event type fires at most once per 5 minutes (prevents spam on flapping devices)
• Capped at 100 entries — oldest dropped when the limit is reached
• Mark all read, dismiss individual, and clear all controls
• Gear icon opens per-type preference toggles — silence any event type individually
• Click any notification to open the full Entity Detail Dialog for that entity
• EM-action suppression — enable/disable actions performed inside Entity Manager itself do not generate notifications

Firmware Update Manager

• View all available updates in one place
• Filter by stability: All Updates, Stable Only, Beta Only
• Filter by category: All Types, Devices Only, Integrations Only
• Hide up-to-date checkbox to focus on pending updates
• Select All pill with expanding Update Selected button — animates into view when items are selected
• View release notes before updating
• Sequential bulk updates — runs one at a time for safety; rows progress through Queued → Active → ✓ Updated / ✕ Failed
• Live progress ring — SVG ring tracks exact update_percentage when HA reports it; indeterminate spinner otherwise
• HA auto-backup banner — shows and toggles HA's global "backup before update" setting; green when ON, red when OFF; hidden on plain HA Core
• Per-entity Backup checkbox — shown for entities that support backup; "Backup All" header checkbox for bulk selection
• Alphabetical sorting by title; live update count on filter button

Export & Import

• Export entity configurations to JSON -- includes enabled/disabled states for all entities
• Import configurations from a previously exported JSON file to restore states
• Export/Import custom themes separately
• Date-stamped export files for easy versioning
• Access from the sidebar's Actions section; imports confirm before applying and are undoable in one step

Theme System

1. Default -- follows your Home Assistant theme (light or dark)
2. Light -- the Refined light palette
3. Dark -- the Refined dark palette
4. High Contrast -- optimized for accessibility
5. OLED Black -- true-black backgrounds for OLED displays

• Create unlimited custom themes with a visual color picker
• Customize every color: primary, success, danger, warning, text, backgrounds, borders, shadows
• Background image support with adjustable overlay opacity
• Light/dark mode toggle per theme
• Real-time preview with color chips
• Import/export themes as JSON to share with others

• Detects Home Assistant light/dark mode
• Respects system color scheme preferences
• Manual override available per theme

• Every stat card has a unique colored top-border accent and subtle tinted background — both in light and dark mode
• Text colors automatically compensate so labels and values are always readable against their tinted background
• Works correctly in mixed-mode setups (e.g. HA dark + EM light or EM dark + HA light)

Context Menu

• Rename / Enable / Disable
• Add to / Remove from Favorites
• Manage Labels / Set Alias
• Assign to area — opens the unified Assign dialog: floor + area picker on top (create new floors/areas inline, "No area" clears the assignment) and label management below, with E/D/A scope badges

• Copy Entity ID
• Open in Home Assistant

• Bulk Rename Selected
• Enable / Disable All Selected (with confirmation)

• "Activate entity {name}"
• "Deactivate entity {name}"
• "Registry enable/disable {name}"

Statistics Dashboard

Data stats — Integrations · Devices · Total Entities (clickable, opens a grouped entity list) · Enabled · Disabled

Navigation strip — compact tiles that each open a dedicated view:

• Auto / Scripts / Helpers - automations (with last-triggered + edit navigation), scripts, and input helpers in one view
• Templates - template entities with state, last active, and edit/remove actions
• Health & Cleanup - housekeeping across unavailable/orphaned/stale entities, ghost devices, never-triggered automations
• HACS Store - browse your installed HACS items and the community store
• Card Types - inspect dashboards, card type distribution, and entity references
• Suggestions - live count of improvement suggestions across all six suggestion types
• Browsers - browser_mod browsers

Stat Card Dialogs — Mini Entity Cards

• Click any card (outside its buttons/checkboxes) to open the full Entity Details dialog for that entity — works in every dialog and inline view (Cleanup, Unavailable, Suggestions, Automations, …)
• Dark header band showing the friendly name, state chip (On/Off/Running/unavailable/…), and time-ago
• Monospace entity ID in the body with domain or mode info below
• Action buttons (Edit, Rename, Toggle, Remove…) in a row at the bottom
• Search bar is pinned in the dialog header — always visible, never scrolls away
• First section expands automatically so content is visible without any extra clicks
• Colour-tinted section backgrounds make different categories instantly recognisable; alternating row tints aid readability in long lists

• Automations → opens the automation editor for that automation
• Scripts → opens the script editor
• Everything else → opens the HA more-info popup for the entity

Health & Cleanup View

• Unavailable entities — entities currently in unavailable state; per-row actions: Ignore, Disable, Add to Group, Remove; Disable and Remove show a confirmation dialog
• Orphaned entities — registry entries whose owner is gone, split into three groups: Missing Device (device_id points at a deleted device), Missing Config Entry (the integration entry was removed — classic leftovers), and Not Loaded (enabled but nothing provides a state anymore). Entities that are simply device-less by design — automations, scripts, helpers, persons, groups — are not treated as orphans. Per-row actions: Ignore, Assign to device (Missing Device only), Add to Group, Remove, plus a Remove All with confirmation
• Stale entities — value unchanged in 30+ days, using recorder-backed timestamps that survive HA restarts; static-by-design domains (automations, scenes, zones, buttons…) and config-category settings are excluded; Keep (hide for 30 d), Disable, or Remove per entity
• Ghost devices — devices registered in HA with zero entities, excluding hubs/bridges that other devices connect through; click to open the device page in HA
• Never triggered — automations and scripts that have never been triggered (restored remnants excluded — those are orphans)

Add to Group: opens a dialog with all five grouping modes from the sidebar — By Area, By Floor, By Device Name, By Integration, By Type — plus any custom groups you've created. By Area and By Floor open the area assignment dialog; By Device Name opens the device picker.

Suggestions View

• 🟣 Health Issues (purple) — entities unavailable for 7+ days → suggested for disable
• ⬜ Disable Candidates (neutral) — diagnostic entities unchanged for 30+ days
• 🟠 Naming Improvements (orange) — entities with auto-generated hashes or generic names
• 🔴 Area Suggestions (red) — devices with no area assigned — bulk-assign directly from the view, with name-based auto-matching and user-defined mapping rules
• 🟠 Area Mismatch — entities whose own area differs from their device's area; sync or reassign per entity
• 🟡 Label Suggestions (amber) — smart HA label recommendations across 21 semantic categories — click Apply to N to create and assign instantly

Mobile & Responsive Design

| Breakpoint | Target | Key changes | |---|---|---| | ≤768px | Tablets | Sidebar becomes overlay, stat cards 3-per-row, device headers wrap; action buttons scale to 13px | | ≤600px | Medium phones (~540px) | Entity list 1-column, action buttons wrap with 36px touch targets | | ≤480px | Small phones | Further font/padding reductions (11px), mini cards stack to 1-column |

• Collapsible sidebar with dedicated mobile toggle button; tap outside to close
• Stat cards always show 3 per row on mobile — labels never truncated
• Device card headers wrap bulk actions and area button to a second line on narrow screens; buttons compact to fit without overflowing or truncating
• Dialog padding scales down at each breakpoint so dialogs use screen space efficiently
• All touch targets minimum 36×36px on mobile
