Eg:

$ ls -l

drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 16384 Aug  4 09:00 0
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 20480 Aug  5 09:00 1
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 20480 Aug  8 09:00 2
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 16384 Aug 10 05:08 3
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 12288 Aug 10 10:03 4
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 16384 Aug  1 09:00 5

Timestamp with seconds: YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS

To see the timestamp including seconds one needs to enter this command:

ls -l --time-style=+'%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'

Not something I'd care for typing, but good if you need it only once in a blue moon, but results in just what we want:

$ ls -l --time-style=+'%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'

total 332
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 16384 2026-08-04 09:00:00 0
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 20480 2026-08-05 09:00:17 1
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 20480 2026-08-08 09:00:34 2
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 16384 2026-08-10 05:08:03 3
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 12288 2026-08-10 10:03:32 4
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 16384 2026-08-01 09:00:05 5

To make this permanent, one can set the TIME_STYLE environment variable like so:

export TIME_STYLE=+'%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'

From now on, "ls -l" will result in the full timestamp even with seconds (HH:MM:SS).

Timestamp without seconds: YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM

To see the timestamp including seconds one needs to enter this command:

ls -l --time-style=+'%Y-%m-%d %H:%M'

or:

ls -l --time-style=long-iso

If you do not care for the seconds, then you can try this, which results YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM (without the seconds):

export TIME_STYLE=long-iso

Which would result into something like this:

# ls -l

total 332
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 16384 2026-08-04 09:00 0
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 20480 2026-08-05 09:00 1
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 20480 2026-08-08 09:00 2
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 16384 2026-08-10 05:08 3
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 12288 2026-08-10 10:03 4
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 16384 2026-08-01 09:00 5

Note this is not so very relevant for macOS users, as Terminal/ls already shows the timestamp.
Hope this is useful to someone 😊 

In Jinja2 this is quite easy:

# This is a comment

This approach however works for only one line.

Sometimes I want to comment out quite a few lines - especially when I want to comment out a piece of code.
To comment multiple lines we need to use this:

{# start line comment

....

#}

  Area: Master Bedroom
    
    - Device: Google Mini Bedroom
        * media_player.bedroom_speaker
    
    - Device: Hue Light Bedroom Left
        * light.hue_light_bedroom_left
        * number.hue_light_bedroom_left_effect_speed
        * select.hue_light_bedroom_left_power_on_behavior
        * text.hue_light_bedroom_left_effect_color
        * update.hue_light_bedroom_left
    
    - Device: Hue Light Bedroom Right
        * light.hue_light_bedroom_right
        * number.hue_light_bedroom_right_effect_speed
        * select.hue_light_bedroom_right_power_on_behavior
        * text.hue_light_bedroom_right_effect_color
        * update.hue_light_bedroom_right

...

The easiest way is by using Jinja2 code in a template:
Go to "Settings" -> "Tools" (used to be "Developer") -> templates and paste this code in the editor:

{# Get devices by area #}

{%- set assigned_entities = namespace(ids=[]) %}
{%- for area in areas() | sort -%}
  {%- set area_name_val = area_name(area) %}
  
  Area: {{ area_name_val }}
  {%- for dev_id in area_devices(area) | sort(attribute='name') %}
    {%- set dev_name = device_name(dev_id) %}
    
    - Device: {{ dev_name }}
      {%- set entities = device_entities(dev_id) | sort %}
      {%- for ent in entities | sort(attribute='domain') %}
        * {{ ent }}
        {%- set assigned_entities.ids = assigned_entities.ids +  %}
      {%- endfor %}
  {%- endfor %}
{%- endfor -%}

{# Get devices/entities not assigned to an area #}

          Area: Unassigned / Floating Entities
{%- set all_entities = states | map(attribute='entity_id') | list %}
{%- set unassigned = all_entities | reject('in', assigned_entities.ids) | sort %}
{%- for ent in unassigned | sort(attribute='domain') %}
  * {{ ent }}
{%- endfor %}

This produces a very clean list of all your entities.

If you run into issues, please report!

Sorry didn't see your helpful info until just now.
I tested this on my NAS which doesn't seem to be using a path either.
Tested the API mount style and it worked after a few modifications in both mount styles.

Hope this fixes it 😊 

p.s. you can reply to the forum email - this would end up only in my mailbox, though I'm not sure if we still need it 😉 

Please feel free to try this test version.
Theoretically both mount styles should work.

Note: Always make a backup of your settings (ini) file 😊
