How to log every day's Max temperature from a sensor?

1

Hey guys,

I have a dht sensor configured like this:

sensor:
  - platform: dht
    sensor: AM2302
    pin: 18
    monitored_conditions:
      - temperature
      - humidity

I am about to repaint my roof with an insulating thingy, that’s supposed to have impressive results ^^.
I would like to actually test this, by gathering some data from my exsiting db, then compare it to the ones after i finish the job.

How would i go about creating a “sensor?” that would log each day’s max temperature (around ~16:00) then show me some time series for as many days as possible?

Is there anything already out there?

Thanks in advance :slight_smile:

Grafana and Influxdb are the best option for long term monitoring.

Thanks for pointing me there,
I’ll look into it and come back with questions, if any :slight_smile:

This might do it as well.

Max for 1 day…
Not sure how it gets logged.

I ended up setting this up for now, in order to log everything into a spreadhseet as i feel more comfortable working that way:


Getting a nice table that i can work with in a couple of days (I’ve included cpu temp as im about to install a heatsink and a fan to see the actual improvement)

I will dig into graphana and influxdb now though, to see what i’ve been missing.
