Hi all,
I’ve been working on a custom integration called HASS Data Points and thought I’d put it out here to get some real-world feedback before I take it any further.
This came from a gap I kept running into myself. Home Assistant is very good at showing what your sensors are doing, but not particularly helpful when it comes to recording why something happened. If energy usage spikes, heating behaviour changes, or something subtly shifts over time, there’s nowhere to record that context alongside the data. You end up trying to piece it together later, which isn’t ideal.
Data Points is an attempt to address that. It lets you record timestamped events (notes, labels, icons) and overlays them directly onto your history charts, so you can actually see what was happening at the time rather than just the raw values.
There’s also a per-entity analysis layer built into the history view. Things like trend lines, summary stat bands, rate-of-change overlays, and a set of anomaly detection methods (Z-score, IQR, residuals, flatline detection, spikes, comparison windows). You can also overlay different time periods for the same sensor to compare behaviour, and there’s a sidebar panel for browsing and editing recorded events.
This is still fairly early. It works, but I’m sure there are rough edges and probably a few things that only break once someone else runs it on a completely different setup.
What I’m mainly interested in is:
• whether it actually runs cleanly on other setups
• whether the history view renders properly or does something unexpected
• whether the UI makes sense, or just feels like too much going on
• any mobile issues
• performance once there’s a decent amount of historical data
• any sensor types where things behave oddly
Also very open to general “this doesn’t feel right” feedback. That’s usually the most useful at this stage.
Repo is here:
If you try it and it falls over, that’s still useful. Even a “nothing showed up” is helpful right now.
Happy to answer any questions or go into more detail if needed.
