NEXT LEVEL STATISTICS – Home Assistant InfluxDB and Grafana

In this video we take a look at Installing InfluxDB and Grafana with Home Assistant, giving you access to next level data logging, statistics and analytics so that you can retain your Home Assistant sensor data for longer, allowing you to do long term visualization and graphing of your data to view trends. We go through how to install InfluxDB and Grafana, the difference between InfluxDB and MariaDB and we also create a couple of basic graphs inside Grafana.
