Home Assistant Community Add-on: Grafana

Hi, i have a hassio working throught virtualbox.
I’m trying to install a grafana plugin that is not listed in the official plugin page.
This one:

https://github.com/gipong/grafana-groupedbarchart-panel

How can i get it installed? Thanks

Hi, can i setup an existing grafana page on my hassio? And if it could how you do this?

I’m using grafana-clock-panel as a plugin. When i try to change background color for the plugin nothing happens, it just stays grey. Anyone have a solution for this?

HI all, I have issue installing influxdb+grafana on my HA using community addon.

I added without issues influxdb and chosen 8089 as InfluxDB server port (8086 is used by another service).

This is the settings in HA:

influxdb:

host: a0d7b954-influxdb

port: 8089

database: homeassistant

username: homeassistant

password: xxxxxxxxx

max_retries: 3

default_measurement: state

Then installed and started grafana and tried to configure DB using this url:

http://a0d7b954-influxdb:8086 (tried to use 8089 as in configuration but I received an error: “Network Error: Bad Gateway(502)”

Now containers are connected but I think something is still wrong.

I tried to add a first sensor (energy consumption) but no data is shown.

Can someone please help me?

Hello,
I also have a couple of 3rd party custom plugins to install. I do know how to install “official” plugins, but customs not sure how. Did you manage to find it out?

I am afraid not…

It’s possible to have a black background? in Dark theme is not black, i want to use with my black theme in home assistant.
Thanks

Getting this after the update to version 5.0

It’s because of:


In Supervisor > Grafana > Configuration add to env_vars:

env_vars:
  - name: GF_PLUGINS_ALLOW_LOADING_UNSIGNED_PLUGINS
    value: 'true'

And restart the add-on as suggested by HassIO.

Updated to 5.1 which seems to have fixed it. Thanks.

Is there a place for general Grafana help? I found InfluxDB easy and intuitive to write queries in, where Grafana seems like a giant mess. Influx autopopulates HA entities and their attributes, where Grafana doesn’t seem to be able to even find the data I have loaded in Influx.

Are there guides on the best ways to implement Grafana graphs for Lovelace? I’m surprised there isn’t a custom Lovelace cards in HACS for it yet. The only thing I was able to make work was a Webpage Card and it’s absolutely terrible.

Did anyone of you got that grafana_image-renderer to work? And if so, can you tell me how?

The Grafana image renderer is built in and works out of the box.
Please note, that the image renderer by Grafana only supports the amd64 architecture. So if you are running on, for example, a Raspberry Pi, you can’t use it.

Frenck, what is the recipe for your Total Home Power Usage graph above? I’m only able to chart the ever increasing line from my utlity_meter sensor.

I don’t have a recipe for that.

Am I attempting to graph the wrong sensor?

Thank you very! much for your quick response. So I AM using a rasbpi… Since two days I’m trying to get some graphs in my Lovelace and I followed some tutorials to get the panel-images via curl requests. Seems to be impossible for now?

Hi,
is there any way to iframe with Grafana plugin chart working with Tor plugin?
I can access my HA Lovelace via Tor onion, but my iframes with Grafana are empty. No access error no nothing just blank space. When I go to Grafana plugin it is loading “Loading Grafana” very very long but at the end, it is loaded and the Grafana dashboard with chars is available. But in iframe lovelace nothing. Emptiness

PS. I don’t have any way to redirect ports in my network (mobile connection only available in my location) Is there any free of charchge options, except tor to access Lovelance from outside?

Dear frenck,
I would like to add 3rd party plugin which is not available in grafana plugins.


Please guide me,
  1. how can i add this or any other plugin available online
  2. how can i add this if plugin is available locally on my home folder.
    Please guide thanks.

The add-on does not support that and thus that plugin cannot be installed in the add-on
