What analytics shares

Analytics is split into options you turn on separately, in Settings > System > Analytics. Usage and statistical data need basic analytics to be on. This page lists what each option adds to the report. The source of truth is the analytics integration in core.

Basic analytics

Always part of the report, when analytics is on.

Field	What it is
`uuid`	A random identifier for your installation, made the first time analytics is sent. It is only used to count your installation once.
`version`	The Home Assistant version, like `2026.10.0`.
`installation_type`	The installation type, like `Home Assistant OS` or `Home Assistant Container`.
`supervisor`	Only with the Supervisor: whether the installation is `healthy` and `supported`, and its architecture, `arch`.
`operating_system`	Only on Home Assistant OS: the `board`, and the `version` of the operating system.

The receiver adds the country based on the IP address. For the United States, it also adds the region, which is the state.

JSON

{
  "uuid": "12a3456bc78d90123ef4567a789012b3",
  "version": "2026.10.0",
  "installation_type": "Home Assistant OS",
  "supervisor": {
    "healthy": true,
    "supported": true,
    "arch": "amd64"
  },
  "operating_system": {
    "board": "odroid-n2",
    "version": "18.3"
  }
}

Usage

Adds what you use, by name.

Field	What it is
`integrations`	The domains of the built-in integrations you use, like `hue` or `zha`.
`custom_integrations`	The domain and version of each custom integration you use.
`addons`	Only with the Supervisor: for each app, its `slug`, `version`, and whether `protected` mode and `auto_update` are on.
`energy`	Whether the energy dashboard is `configured`.
`recorder`	The database `engine` of the recorder, like `sqlite`, and its `version`.
`certificate`	Whether Home Assistant serves HTTPS with its own certificate.

An integration counts when it is set up from the UI and not disabled or ignored, when it is configured in YAML, or when it provides entities that are not disabled.

JSON

{
  "integrations": ["hue", "zha"],
  "custom_integrations": [
    { "domain": "my_integration", "version": "1.2.0" }
  ],
  "addons": [
    {
      "slug": "core_mosquitto",
      "protected": true,
      "version": "6.5.1",
      "auto_update": false
    }
  ],
  "energy": { "configured": true },
  "recorder": { "engine": "sqlite", "version": "3.49.1" },
  "certificate": false
}

Statistical data

Adds counts, never names.

Field	What it is
`state_count`	The number of entities.
`automation_count`	The number of automations.
`integration_count`	The number of built-in integrations, counted like under usage.
`addon_count`	Only with the Supervisor: the number of apps.
`user_count`	The number of users, not counting system users.

Diagnostics

Does not add anything to the report. It turns on crash reports to Sentry for the Supervisor and the OS Agent. See How analytics works.

Devices

Sends a separate snapshot of your devices to the device database, not to the analytics receiver. It does not need basic analytics, but it does need the Device database preview feature in Settings > System > Labs. Turning on that feature also turns on this option. See The device database for what it contains.

How long it is kept

The receiver keeps one entry per installation. It rewrites the entry when a report differs from what is stored, and at least every 30 days when nothing changed. An entry that is not rewritten for 60 days is removed.
