Passwords and API keys should be kept secret

#

Device IDs, local network IP addresses, stuff like that isn't sensitive... (IPv6 may be, as may your external domain name)

Ok thank you.

if you are on Linux what I usually do with logs is just a script with plenty of sed -Ei commands to replace, namely:

  • IPv6 Delegation Prefix (first 3 "blocks", e.g. 2aXX:XXXX:XXXX)
  • Domain Name
  • MAC Addresses of Access Points nearby as well as ESPHome etc Devices (a bit Trial & Error, need a few Iterations to "get it right")
  • Wifi SSIDs nearby

Other stuff that is more configuration relevant of course includes Passwords, API Keys, etc.

The same applies e.g. to ESPHome Configurations where Wifi Password, OTA Password, Web Server Password, MQTT Password, etc (plus usernames I would also say !).

Rather than putting sensitive information (passwords, locations, etc) into your configuration, you can store them in secrets to make sharing easier.
