I have no idea how to phrase this or if the thing I want is possible though I’m sure it’s possible in HA but here’s what I want to do:
I have an Influxdb running on a separate RPI than my HA installation (which is on a Yellow). All my HA data from my sensors in HA (eg Aqara temperature sensor) are populating the DB correctly. I also have an external sensor populating the same DB. The Grafana addon reads all this data correctly from both the internal HA sensors and also the external one and displays them on the graphs I have.
What I want to do is trigger an automation based on the info the external device is sending to the Influxdb but this is where my knowledge fails me. I have no idea where to start with it or if I can actually trigger an automation based on the info I want to.
The external device is MQTT and one of the Topics it publishes is ‘Temperature’ - the one I want the automation to trigger. If anyone can point me in the right direction I’d be grateful. As I said, I have no idea where to start with this one.
For info: All software is current version.
Influxdb is running on Raspberry Pi 4 static IP on home network
Home Assistant running on Yellow
All info from all sensors logged in Influxdb correctly and can be displayed in Grafana
Thanks all.
