I use to write a Blog with two other guys and we’ve recently included Matomo (formerly Piwik) for analytics. Matomo has a nice API and it’s quite easy to display the stats in Homeassistant. Here are the steps:
Get Auth Token from Matomo Dashboard:
In Matomo navigate to Settings > API and copy your token.
Create 3 REST-Sensors in Homeassistant for daily, weekly and monthly visitors: Change URL_MATOMO, idSite and auth-token according to your needs
- platform: rest
resource: "https://URL_MATOMO/?module=API&method=VisitsSummary.getUniqueVisitors&idSite=1&period=day&date=today&format=JSON&token_auth=c7a98***************************"
name: Blog Visitors Today
value_template: '{{ value_json.value | int }}'
unit_of_measurement: "Visitors"
- platform: rest
resource: "https://URL_MATOMO/?module=API&method=VisitsSummary.getUniqueVisitors&idSite=1&period=week&date=today&format=JSON&token_authc7a98***************************4"
name: Blog Visitors Week
value_template: '{{ value_json.value | int }}'
unit_of_measurement: "Visitors"
- platform: rest
resource: "https://URL_MATOMO/?module=API&method=VisitsSummary.getUniqueVisitors&idSite=1&period=month&date=today&format=JSON&token_auth=c7a98***************************"
name: Blog Visitors Month
value_template: '{{ value_json.value | int }}'
unit_of_measurement: "Visitors"
Create a nice glance card in Lovelace-UI:
- type: glance
title: Triumvirat.org | Statistik
entities:
- entity: sensor.blog_visitors_today
icon: 'mdi:calendar-today'
name: Today
- entity: sensor.blog_visitors_week
name: Week
icon: 'mdi:calendar-week'
- entity: sensor.blog_visitors_month
name: Month
icon: 'mdi:calendar-week-begin
Voilà! It’s done:
I’ve written a blog post (in german) about this and if you’re interested there is also a script to use TTS for a spoken Blog statistics report: https://www.triumvirat.org/2018/12/18/matomo-besucherstatistik-in-homeassistant-einbinden/
