@pierre-gilles I add a clarification: this editor should allow partial deletion of a device’s history: for example, deleting all history older than 1 year  
I ask myself this question because I set « unlimited » to keep the history, and when I see that a single device can store millions of states per year, I worry about the size of the database and its performance over time

I’ve moved the topic to a new request! We shouldn’t overload existing requests 😊
