Sentry


The free Sentry account allows 5000 events per month. Depending on the amount of events sent to Sentry, you will either have to upgrade your Sentry account or have a period without data flowing from Home Assistant to Sentry.

The Sentry integration in Home Assistant integrates with Sentry to capture both logged errors as well as unhandled exceptions in Home Assistant.
