+# Home Assistant Configuration Snippets
+#
+# These snippets were added to /config/configuration.yaml on the HA host (10.10.0.123).
+# Dated: 2026-July
+
+# =============================================================================
+# Recorder Tuning
+# =============================================================================
+# Reduces SQLite DB write frequency and keeps the local database small.
+# Long-term historical data is stored in InfluxDB (13-month retention).
+#
+# Added to configuration.yaml:
+recorder:
+  purge_keep_days: 7
+  commit_interval: 30
+
+# =============================================================================
+# InfluxDB (REMOVED - using UI integration instead)
+# =============================================================================
+# The YAML influxdb config did NOT work with HA 2026.3.1.
+# Integration was set up via UI: Settings → Devices & Services → InfluxDB.
+#
+# If you find the following block in configuration.yaml, it should be removed:
+#
+# influxdb:                         # <-- THIS BLOCK WAS REMOVED
+#   host: 10.10.0.41                #     DO NOT USE
+#   port: 8086                      #     DO NOT USE
+#   ...
+#
+# The UI integration stores its config internally and does not need YAML.
