Remove "Time Changed" from Activity

When I open my Activity log, all I see is "Time changed" recorded every minute. In the attached screenshot a lot of stuff happened just now, otherwise it would be only Time Changed. Is there a way to not to record Time events into the activity log?

I had this when I added time and date sensors. In your configuration.yaml, exclude those entities from the log book.

logbook:
  exclude:
    entities:
      - sensor.time
      - sensor.date
      - sensor.date_time

This only hides the entries from the logbook, but they're still being saved to database taking up disk space.

I would go further and exclude them from the recorder.

Assuming you’ve configured recorder to include them (or all entities).

That's a safe assumption given the post is about entries in the logbook and that depends on the recorder.

I have the same since I have the time integration set up as you do. But I have so many activities happening that a time change every minute is drowned and disappears in the list quickly.

So my solution is to add more add-ons and integrations to drown out the time.

Brilliant solution

I don't know how to solve it, but I can tell you that this isn't normal behaviour, I have no such thing in my activity log.

Do you have a helper entity for time or something?
