The logbook component provides a different perspective on the history of your house by showing all
the changes that happened to your house in reverse chronological order.
[See the demo for a live example](/demo/).
To enable the logbook in your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
logbook:
```
It is possible to add custom entries to the logbook by using the script component to fire an event.
```
# Example configuration.yaml entry
script:
add_logbook_entry:
alias: Add Logbook
sequence:
- event: LOGBOOK_ENTRY
event_data:
name: Kitchen
message: is being used
# Optional
entity_id: light.kitchen
domain: light
```
