I’m having to do a lot of templating with temperature and enviromental sensors, to catalog min, max, avg and such. I’m guessing these are data that many users could be interested in, perhaps Home Assistant could do this for us?
For example temperature sensors could log min/max for every day, if i would like to look at these temperatures for the whole year. This shouldn’t eat a whole lot of database space.
I know its very possible with influx and such, but its a bit hardcore for some users. Perhaps this could be optionable in some way. Also the database (or a separate long time storage database) needs to protect these data. Say you’d wanna save the min/max temperatures for 3 years, or even 10. This idea isn’t totally fleshed out. Lets call it “smarter sensors”.
Edit: Guess this is 2 ideas in one, some sort of long term storage database (or possibility mark certain data as “keep forever” and protect them from cleanups) and home assistant having some sort of “commonly wanted calculations” for certain sensor types for instance. Common ones being temperature/humidity etc. Guess environmentals are the most desirable targets.
