Hi all,
I am trying to read some information from a thermostat into Grafana, I think I need to make a template sensor, but I a struggling. The info i need is shown in the screenshot below highlighted in yellow.
Any help would be amazing.
What’s that? The search results I see point to a wordpress plugin…
Sorry autocorrect on the phone. I mean Grafana
So you already export some sensors to, e.g, influxdb?
Grafana cannot talk directly to HA (unless you know something I don’t.
I am trying to grath the current temperature reading for long term data. Im a bit new to this, but I have others working fine, but this one seems hidden in an attrib of a device.
I created a template sensor for this and i can see it in HA but cant seem to get to it from Graph
Graph cards like Plotly can create graphs for attributes directly:
If you create a template sensor from the attribute, you can also use the standard history graph. But you need to remember if you just made the template, there is only the data from since you created the template to create graphs with. So the graph may seem empty when you just started.
If you want to use Grafana as a graphing tool, you need to supply Grafana with a database it can use. Influxdb is often used. But then the same applies: if you install the influxdb integration, it will start recordg data there too. So there too you will only have data from the moment you start using it.
