Look for unused dashboard resources
Hi,
Would it be possible to add a function to look for unused dashboard resources? After a while, the configuration may become messy with a lot of unused resources. Thanks.
Thanks. I’ll give it a try.

Hi,
I tried it and is not addressing what I was suggesting. The test I did is the following:
• Install any frontend from HACS and add it to your resources • Don’t use this frontend • Run watchman report
My suggestion was that frontend would appear on the report as an unused resource. This is not the case.
Did I miss a something?

Ah, sorry, I've misread term "resources" here, your idea sounds good for me! It seems like a feasible feature, at least for the resources, which call customElements.define() to register a custom dashboard element. That is, this will not work for stuff like custom themes and icons.
I'll move it to the enhancements category.
I'm not sure if my problem is different from or a subset of this issue. I want to know if my dashboard has errors on it. The way I use Watchman to help with this is:
- open the dashboard menu and use the "raw configuration editor" option
- copy and paste the entire text contents into an empty file which I save as /config/lovelace.yaml
- run Watchman and pick up errors
The outcome is something like:
It would be neat to be able to get this report automatically.
