Request: Exclude hidden entities from sensor agregation

[myevit]

I have bunch of sensors that I want to exclute from adregation. Some of mine devicea are reporting internal component temperature along with other room temperature sensors. Same with mousture - can be humififier report and soil sensor in the same room.

All we need is support of hidden attribure

Hey, sorry for taking so long to get to this.

Hidden entities are an UI thing. Is there a reason why you are hiding them instead of disabling them?

For example, my smart relays have integrated temperature sensor, obviously, it's not to measure in-wall room temperature, it's safety monitor to detect wires/contacts overhearing/fire. So I don't want to use it for aggregated sensor, and in my quick search, but I still want to monitor, log and use it in automations and the option is just "hide" it works just perfect.

Do they show up on the device under the "Diagnostic" section? If yes, MA is already ignoring them.

Perfect!
