In the next upcoming release of Home Assistant (2021.4) there will be an opt-in Analytics integration, and a public website to view the stats (located at https://analytics.home-assistant.io/). You can try this in the public beta right now. @ludeeus did an incredible job on this!
Here’s a couple more ideas that would be cool to see added in the future (was asked to post it here so it doesn’t get lost).
Percentage of installs per country (kind of a “leaderboard” type thing)
Hardware device type breakdowns (RPi, Odroid, etc) - apparently this can only be determined on OS install types
Avg number of Lovelace dashboards, views, cards
Avg number of entities expose to Alexa/Google/HomeKit
Percentages of those running beta/dev/stable
Percentage of those that use the official Mobile App
Percentages of those using storage/yaml/autogen for Lovelace
If anyone has any other ideas of stats they’d like to see, feel free to suggest some more here. This is going to be such a cool feature
It would be cool to see a listing of time_since_last_boot somehow, as a way of seeing who (obviously not naming them) has gone the longest. I’m just over 3 days at moment…
If you are talking about the portal, it has had that since the initial “version” (it uses the host/browser to determine it), if you are talking about the theme setting in HA that’s not off topic and already noted by @SeanM?
It’s going to be interesting to see these numbers change as non-beta users start sharing!
Kinda pointless now but it would eventually be interesting to be able to see all the stats over a time period to see things like how quickly a feature or integration is adopted when it comes out or if an integration use is in the decline etc etc.
Right now the maps shows all the installed instances per country.
I would like to see installed instances per capita, i.e how big percentage of the countries population is using HA.
Yes, but it apparently knows at least which country the reporting users are in since the stats are broken down by country.
I think they are asking to take the reported stats for each country and dividing by the country’s population to get the percent of the country that is using HA or it’s components.
However, I think they are going to be disappointed in those results since say for the US that has a population of ~>330 million and only 1695 installations I’m not sure that knowing that .00000000514% of the population is using HA is very useful.
Plus, it would be non-representative to those who would have opted out of analytics, or haven’t updated. Also, the core repository has 41.8k stars, and the reddit has 118k members.
True but you’re going to have to factor that in to any decision based on the need to obtain those analytics in the first place. The whole idea of analytics is useless if you are concerned that it likely isn’t really a good representation of the users who didn’t report. If that’s the case then what’s the point?
I’ve never starred the repo and I am not a reddit member. so there’s that too.
Would love to see info on which addons are in use and how many users are using them. Also if possible, would be great if each addon included the url from its config so people could click through and discover addons others are using they weren’t aware of. Other then the core and community addon repos its pretty difficult to discover addons in other repos but there are a lot out there which are quite useful.
Also could be used to make a case for bringing an addon to the core/community repos if one is particularly popular.
