InfluxDB in home assistant

[alexandrecuer]

If you use home assistant, the easiest thing to start with influxdb is to use the official addon

Settings > Add-ons > ADD-ON STORE

It is quite easy to automatically synchronize all the entities available in home assistant within a influxdb database for long term storage

version 1

create in influxdb a database named home_assistant

create a specific user with read/write access to the home_assistant influxdb database

setup the influxdb integration in configuration.yaml

https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/influxdb/

This integration uses the python influxdb client : https://github.com/influxdata/influxdb-client-python

version 2

it seems you only need to add : influxdb:

version 1

Here all the entities were imported, but you can use a filter to only include the entities you need.

EXPLORE through the influxdb user interface

After some time, you should be able to see all the home assistant entities
