except (show_only) filter

[Mariusthvdb]

was just reading the commit changes for the all filter, and then it dawned on me we might also benefit from an except filter.

it would do the same as all, except leave an attribute, or a couple out of the all filter

something like:

by_glob:

  device_tracker.google_*:
    - show_only:
        - mac
        - ip

it would require the nested object, but I hope that would not be a problem? examples on glob here, but it would go for all other by_ filters

That could be solved with the unfilter_attributes property that you had in mind (I have it almost ready but I paused it because of the issues that appeared yesterday), It should be something like this:

custom_attributes:
  filter_attributes:
    by_glob:
      device_tracker.google_*:
        - all
  unfilter_attributes:
    by_glob:
      device_tracker.google_*:
        - mac
        - ip

O that is indeed something to try. Though admittedly a bit more complex than I had envisioned .

proof the above setting is working (I have unfiltered the ap_mac too):

Beautiful, thanks!

now to get rid of these unrecorded History and Logbook sections conditionally..... ;-)
