and Jekyll. You can omit the include section, and Home Assistant will send the whole firehose of sensor data to InfluxDB. Here we can see how the graph is defined. The last thing to do is to extract the token values, because we'll need them soon. I haven't yet had time to dig into details of this thing :-), Followed your config and the integration worked perfectly, thank you for posting. Go to explore and query for the following "state" WHERE time > now() AND "entity_id"='[entity that returns home/not_home]'. Thats very annoying (and another reason for me not to upgrade DSM). Thats my intention as well, and so far it works beautifully. SHOW MEASUREMENTS ON " eg: homeassistant" Press the + button next to the entity_id to add to the query. Wondering if its a DSM6 network kind of issue. Sorted it. There are ways we can get this into Grafana, as it is stored in InfluxDB. You can easily change what time period is displayed on the screen from the top-right menu. Select the "Enable auto-restart" checkbox. Login with default username and password of admin and admin. I have a hunch that it is an issue with Grafana not being able to read/write to your config directory. Most likely this will be the only user which you will create, since InfluxDB changes how databases are accessed (we'll come to that later). tom_l July 13, 2020, 2:24pm #2. How do I update Grafana and Influxdb? :-). I want to get the current InfluxDB database size of homeassistant . That will bind the container to the host network, which will hopefully work. I set this up myself a few months ago, but found limited use. Straight away youll see the gauge appear. rtsecs) The example configuration entry below create two request to your local InfluxDB instance, one to the database db1, the other to db2: Note that when working with Flux queries, the resultset is broken into tables, you can see how this works in the Data Explorer of the UI. On the "Mount path" you now have to point to the container location which will be linked with the location on your filesystem. In "Name" field enter a name that makes sense. Grafana InfluxDB. Now were going to make the following adjustments to the graph: Now you should have data on your graph, but something looks wrong? For example a query on a % battery for sensor.multi_sensor_battery_level: Everything else can be queried using the entity_id as its measurement name. Lets try a few more InfluxDB APIs to make sure everything is working. There are two parts to this setup. Exclude all entities matching a listed pattern. Published by Oliver on 02.05.202102.05.2021. # Home Assistant Community Add-on: InfluxDB InfluxDB is an open source time series database optimized for high-write-volume.

If you are using my setup just start the containers via docker-compose and follow these steps to set up our new InfluxDB database. Once the data is stored in the database you can analyze it for trends, create graphs and use the data in other applications. The good news is youre not the only one experiencing this. In most cases you can leave the default query as is and just select the entity you are looking for in the FROM part. You can do that using the iFrame panel component. In the WHERE we want to chooseentity_id and select the battery sensor. If I try port 8083 I see the page from Chronograf but it asks me to create a connection and I dont know how to create the home assistant database. Great article! Enter the following configuration into it: Make sure to replace the IP address, token value (the HomeAssistant - Write token) and potentially port, organization and bucket values with what you have setup. You will need to construct your queries in this language in sensors for 2.xx installations, it looks like this: Use HTTPS instead of HTTP to connect. There is also useful -precision option to set format of timestamp. It was also a little more complicated because all of the examples were Influx 1, not 2. You can pull down the image on your Raspberry Pi by running: Docker should download the image from Docker hub and extract it on your Pi. Created dashboards are not stored persistently. If you scroll through this, you should see entries that are obviously coming from HomeAssistant. So click on the "Add an empty panel" choice. This is us setting up Grafana so it knows where to pull our stats from. InfluxDB is working fine! Quick question: How do you control the size of the Influxdb?

Measurement name to use instead of measurement_attr or default measurement. Now lets go to the Coloring column and in the Thresholds type in 10,25. However there are some pretty big limitations. For some reason Im unable to get the logbook to show anything. Expand Query A to change the query that is building the data. Go to the Legend tab then lets select Min, Max and Current to be shown.

Once youve setup your data source, we can start off by creating a simple temperature line chart. Im still running them both btw somehow dunno fallback feeling? Click on "Environment" tab. I already learned to do this for now (https://goo.gl/HZZvAJ), but it also looks like you can set up notifications there based on any criteria, so could easily replace lots of automation I have. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/bd57a5daa931c1379c57e296f4b358ab6e80a1950257bf014de60dba55bd1c20.jpg. unit_of_measurement: '%' On the left side choose the seventh icon from the top. Can you try $interval instead? There is a much better software for this: Grafana. With so many integrations with the internet of things or IOT devices, a lot of information passes through Home Assistant. This will create a new query under B. You can still create aggregate metrics across multiple sensors though. due to host mode in Home Assistant) you can use this neat code: This will forward the port 8086 from the container to the host but only for the IP address 127.0.0.1 which is localhost. All that is left to do is to tweak this a bit, by assigning a title to the panel and saving the dashboard by clicking the "Save" button on the top-right corner.

Under the retention policy setting, you can edit the Duration for which InfluxDB will hold data. On top of the screen a graph should be generated which will display all temperatures that HomeAssistant is logging. Measurement name to use when the measurement_attr state attribute does not exist, e.g. Remember to add your username and password if you set one up. The list of attribute names to ignore when reporting to InfluxDB. docker: Error response from daemon: Bind mount failed: /path/for/influxdb does not exists.
