Excellent video Andreas. Clear instructions and to the point.

Node red is really amazing and can help you to get to the results without the need of programming. Grafana (even if its free) its excellent visualisation tool. We have everything working under Ubuntu VPS, docker images of MQTT, node red, mysql, grafana etc and the performance is more than enough (more than 25k measurements in one minute transfered from the remote sensor via mqtt to the database without any issues)

@@AndreasSpiess I would also add that I'm using Python on a (Pi Zero W) to push MQTT data to a remote server listening for MQTT and is hosting InfluxDB, Node Red, and Grafana. You just need to install Paho MQTT on the Pi (pypi.org/project/paho-mqtt/). Then in the script just import it (import paho.mqtt.client as mqtt), define the remote server (mqttBroker = 'foo.server.com'), set the client with client = mqtt.Client(), connect to the remote server, client.connect(mqttBroker), and then for every variable assign to your data feed, you then just publish it with something like this: client.publish('Temperature', temperature). Where temperature = bmp.temperature, a feed coming from a BMP390 sensor. I any case, following your instructions on Influx DB, Node Red (MQTT->InfluxDB), and Grafana has been a life saver. It sure beats trying to chart something from file data. :-)

Only by writing some making configuration files, one can trigger alerts, actions etc... e.g. I could set up a threshold for humidity sensor, after crossing this level, HA triggered a relay, which controls the fan. It is neat but extending it seems to be difficult.

Cool, I use InfluxDB for my home, but never understood the retention policy, thank you. I have three point about your setup: - InfluxDB is part of the TICK stack, that has Chronograf as data visualization tool in place of Grafana, a different flavour of the same concept someone might prefer, and has Telegraf agent you can use to collect raspberry's own metrics to track its health, feeding them through the same InfluxDB and Grafana combination - This raspberry use case tends to put some pressure on the SD because of the big quantity of data written and red, it is important to consider an external HDD and a backup strategy (obviously you already know this) - All those "installations" and "SD images" are things of the past, you need to switch to the container approach, I am talking about Docker; that will give you ease of installation, configuration, resource balancing, sharing, testing different setup, replication of setup and tenths of other things you will discover

Nice video Andreas! In my case, instead of manual instalation, since I started using Home Assistant a few days ago, I just added InfluxDb and Grafana pluggins in Home Assistant which was like 5 minutes effort (Node Red I already added before). Anyway your instructions helped a lot for a fast start. And a sugestion - if you didn't already - check out Home Assistant. Nice platform + combined with Mosquitto, Node Red and now InfluxDb and Grafana ... make it very interesting. I use some manually programmed microcontrolers (bathroom humidity and fan control), Nextion displays from your video over MQTT, and dwo days ago I reprogram own application for LED strip and Sonoff Basic with esphomeyaml. Addionally using Alexa over Node Red, that fits very niceli into Home Assistant. New graphs from bathroom humidity, temperature and fan control is today nice addon. Point is that any additional knowledge nicely fits in picture. Constant evolution...

@@AndreasSpiess minor issues solved this morning: switched to official grafana repository instead of the previous one, as now it exists and it's working properly (it was not so when i added grafana and influxdb to script, a year ago or so...)

Thank you!

Hello Andreas! Thanks for the great video. I have already tried Pete's Script some time ago and am using node red for over 2 years knnow! Worked great, so i'm doing a fresh install now on the latest Raspberry and I am adding Influx DB now for the first time. Iw wanna try to store and read power consumption data that I am transmittting from an ESP8266 in my fuse box. Have you tried anything like that yet?

I made a video and an image is there for download. Today I worked on the alarming from Grafana via Telegram to the mobile.

Very interesting and easy to jump in. Actually I was using a Python Jupiter Notebook for Receiving, parsing, sending payload to the MQTT broker. This solution is great, especially for future maintenance

I never thought about using Jupiter Notebook for something like that. Now I have to look into it. Tanks for the info.
