I run HA core 2026.4.2, supervisor 2026.04.0 and OS 17.2 on a Home Assistant blue.
I try to setup BESS manager which wants influxdb support.
I don’t think my influxdb setup is working even if I don’t see any errors in the logs. BESS manager gives me warnings that influxdb data is missing.
Influxdb setup
I have setup influxdb with chronograf and kapacitor on my synology NAS via docker with standard ports.
In chronograf I have create
- A database homeassistant.
- One user homeassistant with read/write access to database homeassistant.
- One user bess with read access to database homeassistant
Home assistant config of influxdb
In configuration.yaml I have added the following rows:
influxdb:
max_retries: 3
include:
entities:
<list of 15 sensors>
I have added the influxdb integration and configured it with
- host: http://:8086
- user: homeassistant
- password:
HA answers ok when pressing ok.
After a couple of minutes I can see that data is populated in influxdb via chronograf. DB is not empty even if I don’t really know how to explore data via chronograf.
The BESS manager installation page propose to run the following curl command to see if I have data:
curl -G "http://<nas ip>:8086/query" \
--data-urlencode "db=homeassistant" \
--data-urlencode "q=SELECT last(value) FROM /sensor.*/ LIMIT 5" \
-u "bess:<password>"
I get this respons:
{"results":[{"statement_id":0}]}
I should get a lot of data here I thought.
Is there something obvious that I have missed in my setup above?
I have read about influxdb problem when running on OS 17.x, e.g. in InfluxDB stopped working after updating to HAS 2026.1.2 - #10 by i.nijman.
Edit: I did restart home assistant after all configuration to secure that all configs were applied.
