It has 95 installs sharing analytics, works locally and was last updated November 8, 2026. Entity Assistant exports Home Assistant entities, devices, and areas from the registry to CSV files. It also exports floors and labels, and it can write JSON or YAML output as an alternative to CSV. Each export carries a stale flag with a reason, and a stale-days setting controls the threshold for entries that have not changed. Edited CSV or JSON files can be imported back to update the registries in bulk, with changes only applied to rows in the file and nothing removed. Other actions preview or remove orphaned entities, orphaned devices, and empty areas, capture a registry snapshot, and return a signed download link; removals default to a dry run. A button runs the export with defaults set in the integration options, and it is set up in the UI. Automatic summary of the README and code of Steven-D-Morgan/hass-entity-assistant.
