Enhanced integrations

Recorder

Records all the spooky things that happen in your home.

The Home Assistant recorder icon



The recorder integration in Home Assistant is responsible for registering and storing everything that happens in your home. It is the backbone of the history and logbook features in Home Assistant but it also keeps information in a long-term format to power things like the energy dashboard and other graphs you see in Home Assistant.
