Just wondering whether a panel is the correct approach here or whether this should be a config flow from the backend for the recorder integration?

Is it possible to show an "entities picker" in the config/options flow?

Can't remember having ever seen that, but that doesn't mean it's not possible :) .

EDIT: With a quick glance at the coding, I cannot see a ha-form-entity-picker.ts or similar.

Like that recorder settings can be changed in the UI. Don't want to scope creep, but should this be an entity setting in the dialog instead of a big recorder setting?

@matthiasdebaat
That will be a great addition but requires changing the core entity classes (I tried it), and in the first step, I would like to introduce something much simpler but useful.

Just one point: it really seems ideal that the configuration was carried out in the settings of each entity. But there should be a way to change this in bulk, maybe some services like "include all entities in recorder", "exclude all entities in recorder", "include entities listed in recorder", "exclude entities listed in recorder", maybe with domains too… this would avoid the user having to manipulate the configuration of each entity of the instance (which sometimes are many) to configure the recorder. The same goes for a panel, it would be nice to have an option to select the entities and include or exclude them in the bulk recorder.
