Hello
I am getting frustrated by my sensors settings resetting after a reboot and also a purge. I used to have InfluxDB setup but never used it. Is that the solution? I chose which sensors I want to keep long term and then pull the values from InfluxDB into HA? then display them in lovelace graphs etc?
Thoughts please? for example i want to track the energy use of multiple MQTT energy plugs flashed with Tasmota.
- platform: mqtt
name: "Heater Energy Today"
state_topic: "tele/heater/SENSOR"
value_template: '{{ value_json["ENERGY"]["Today"] }}'
unit_of_measurement: "kWh"
- platform: mqtt
name: "Heater Energy Yesterday"
state_topic: "tele/heater/SENSOR"
value_template: '{{ value_json["ENERGY"]["Yesterday"] }}'
unit_of_measurement: "kWh"
- platform: mqtt
name: "Heater Energy Total"
state_topic: "tele/heater/SENSOR"
value_template: '{{ value_json["ENERGY"]["Total"] }}'
unit_of_measurement: "kWh"
I did try the utility meter but this will also reset on a DB purge. and am finding it reset on reboots as well.
