Hi!
I am using Energy dashboard to monitor my consumption & solar production.
This is 2nd time I lost all of my data.
On Monday or Tuesday I updated HA Core and they caused my Z-wave devices to go haywire. most of them went off-line etc … after I was not able to fix it I decided to restore to previous snapshot, which fixed all of the issues with z-wave but it caused my to lose all of my energy data. Similar thing happened back in Sept/October, after restore all data was gone
Maybe this is is a noob or silly Question: but I can I make sure my energy data persist ?
Thank you!
There is work being done to make database backups more reliable. If you can’t wait for that to be implemented I suggest you use Influxdb and Grafana instead of the energy dashboard. You have to set the energy monitoring graphs up yourself but the backups are much more reliable.
It has happened to me also twice. The last time was last week when I tried installing influxdb in order to start using grafana. InfluxDB would not launch and after deinstalling it and trying to go back to my previous state (with a Restore), I realized that the data was gone. Very frustrating!
