Module Activity Feed

Activity Feed

Module type: activity_feed · Category: Data · Pro

Real-time home activity feed with timeline and social views.

Features

• Subscribes to entity state changes and renders them as a timeline.
• Two layouts: timeline (vertical, time-grouped) and social (cards with avatars/icons).
• Per-entity formatting — custom name, icon, and "what happened" text template.
• Filter by domain, area, or explicit entity list.
• Configurable retention window.

Configuration

Sources

• Tracked entities — explicit allowlist
• Areas — include all entities in selected areas
• Domains — include all entities in selected domains
• Hidden entities — always exclude

Display

• Layout — timeline / social
• Time format — relative (5m ago) or absolute
• Group by — day / hour / none
• Max events — 1–200
• Show entity icons

Per-entity rules

Define how each entity's state change should appear:

entity:    binary_sensor.front_door
on text:   Front door opened
off text:  Front door closed
icon:      mdi:door

Actions / Logic / Design

Standard 4-tab editor.

Examples

• Daily timeline — show only motion + door events, grouped by hour.
• Family social feed — person.* and device_tracker.* only, social layout.
• Mute mode — Logic tab template hides feed during quiet hours.

Notes

• The feed reads from HA's recorder/history. Make sure the entities you track are recorded (default).
• Feeds with too many events can affect rendering; cap with Max events and a tight retention window.
