Zabbix Template for Home Assistant 🚀

[Garfieldtt]

Hello Home Assistant Community,
I would like to introduce a Zabbix template that simplifies monitoring your Home Assistant environment. This template is designed for Zabbix 7.0 (or higher) and provides practical features for comprehensive monitoring.

Features

This template monitors the following:

Item	Description
Automations	Monitors active automations in Home Assistant. Helps detect faulty or blocked automations.
Battery Status	Checks the battery level of battery-powered devices, such as sensors or remotes. Alerts on low battery.
Cameras	Monitors the status of cameras integrated with Home Assistant, including optional reachability and video streams.
Contact Sensors	Tracks the state of contact sensors (e.g., doors and windows).
Firmware Updates	Checks for available firmware updates for connected devices.
Humidity Sensors	Monitors current humidity levels in supervised rooms.
Temperature Sensors	Tracks temperature values from Home Assistant.
Air Pressure	Monitors the current air pressure readings from Home Assistant sensors. Useful for weather monitoring and trend analysis.
Person Zone Assignment	Tracks which zone (e.g., Home, Work) a person is currently assigned to, based on GPS location.
Zone Radius	Monitors the radius size of configured zones in Home Assistant. Helps ensure accurate geofencing.
Longitude	Displays the longitude of a configured zone. Useful for precise geolocation settings.
Latitude	Displays the latitude of a configured zone. Useful for precise geolocation settings.
Home Assistant Updates	Monitors the Home Assistant version. Sends notifications when updates are available.
Power Consumption	Tracks the energy usage of connected devices (e.g., smart plugs). Useful for analyzing power consumption.
Weather Forecast	Integrates weather forecast data from Home Assistant, including temperature, rain probability, and wind speed.
Zigbee Link Quality	Monitors the signal quality of Zigbee devices. Helps identify connection issues or interference.
Occupancy	Tracks whether a room or area is currently occupied, using motion or presence sensors.
Illuminance	Monitors the light level (lux) in a room or area, useful for automations like adjusting lights.
PM2.5	Tracks fine particulate matter (PM2.5) concentration in the air, important for air quality monitoring.
VOC	Monitors volatile organic compounds (VOC) levels, helping to ensure good indoor air quality.

Hey Garfieldtt,
thanks a lot for the effort - just in time for me to try and test, since I’ve just installed Zabbix on my network

Got an issue though, after configuring as per the instruction above, in a Discovery → Hosts → Homeassistant, all the items (apart from first “Floats discovery”) are marked as “Not supported” with the following errorl:
Response code “404” did not match any of the required status codes “200”
{“body”:“404: Not Found”}

Do I need to do anything on HomeAssistant side (apart from generating API token?

Regards,
PG

Hello pgobi PG, I have written down the necessary steps for you.
I hope this helps you move forward.

1. Go to Data Collection Templates and import the template Home Assistant - Zabbix.
2. Click on the template name Home Assistant - Zabbix and navigate to the Macros section.
3. Enter the following values:
   • {$HA.URL}: Your Home Assistant URL
   • {$API.TOKEN}: Your API token
   • Then click Update (as shown in the image).

4. Create a new host:

   • Go to Monitoring > Hosts.
   • Click Create Host in the top right corner.

5. Assign a name to the host, e.g., HomeAssistant.

6. In the Templates section, link the Home Assistant - Zabbix template and then click Update.
