Thanks for all the input!  
Using InfluxDb 1.x (1.8.9), so will look into it.

The last idea (“forcing” adding data with InfluxDb with a timed flow) unfortunately does not work. Tried this before ([[APP][Pro] InfluxDb - #155 by fmb](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-influxdb/32405/155)), but now again; it does not add data points with this specific data interval.

Do your conclusion come from Grafana, or have you checked the data in the database? If you did not know: You can not force values on the same device, you have to “create a new one” in the database. If I trigger my flow 10 times in a row, I get the same value in the database 10 times but with new time stamp.

Test flow with static value:

Result in the Influx database:

I am looking at the source table Grafana shows me. And I am using the same flowcard. What I need to do next is look in the database via de CLI. Need to find out how that works first, will let you know when I have had a look.

It seems there is a lot of knowledge here regarding InfluxDB and Grafana.

With the help of the information in this forum, I managed to set everything up.

So now, I have everything covered from now and into the future.

However, I am looking for historical data.

When I export the CSV from Homey, I cannot import it into InfluxDB.

Iâ€™ve spent two full evenings using ChatGPT and searching online, but I just canâ€™t get it to work.

I also have data from before my Homey days, also in a CSV format, which InfluxDB doesnâ€™t accept.

Additionally, I would really like to have all the accumulated data from Homey in InfluxDB.

Who can give me a push in the right direction or help me out?

If you are importing using UI, you have to provide the right format: [Annotated CSV | InfluxDB OSS v2 Documentation](https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/v2/reference/syntax/annotated-csv/)

I would recommend to use automatic transfer from this app to a Database/Bucket, and not use .CSV

Thanks and maybe a stupid question? But as I said. And I believe you are saying this too. Csv is not the way and I have to use the automatic way.

And that is?

I have added a Shelly Uni (with shelly integeration) with connected pulse counter. Unfortunately, i cannot see the pulses in Influx, its only logging wifi signal strength and on/off state. Any idea?

Hi there,  
I’m using now for a time InfluxDB and Grafana together and I’m very pleased with it. But…  
when in Grafana using a group policy for 24h I notice the 2 hours shifting.

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/0/0/002693adb088ecc2b88c49c0b8d9f8a8046647cf.png)  
I’ve searched the forum for this in Homey as well in Grafana and the only thing I find as a sensible course is that the timestamps in the InfluxDB are not in UTC. They coming from Homey I suppose??

But what I don’t find on the fora is a solution for it so that for instance the timestamps used when writing the data to the database are converted to UTC.  
Is there anyhow a solution for it??

Still using this app v1.2.2 (test) since it’s as far as I know the only way to be able to build dashboards in Grafana. Highly appreciate all the effort put into it, but also a bit afraid towards the future about support on the app if something breaks…

@balmli I have question.

I migrated the InfluxDB database (v1) from my old Synology NAS to a new one. So I transfered the docker and the database. Everything runs fine; the docker imager runs, the homey InfluxDB app can connect and starts sending data, my Grafana graphs show the data fine. I am using the test version 1.2.2 on a Homey pro 2023

However… the homey InfluxDB app crashes every day/every two days and before it did not have issues.  
What could be the root casue? Could this be a database issue on the new NAS even though the InfluxDB app connects fine and submits data? Or do you have other ideas I can look into?

Edit 21 sep 2025: please see the rest of my posts first. Issue was an unfinished (auto) firmware update of Homey.

I have another suspect: issues might be related to firmware 12.7.0. Net sure on which day it was released, but seems like a few days ago. Automated installation if this firmware stopped during downloading, so this might cause issues as well. I see other reports about this as well. I was able to update the homey firmware with the usb tool, so will keep an eye on in the upcoming days.

It was sept. 16th. Here’s a “gründliche” log with details and _publication dates_:

> [@\[Homey Pro 2023\] Informationen und Diskussionen zu neuen Firmware-Updates](https://community.homey.app/t/homey-pro-2023-informationen-und-diskussionen-zu-neuen-firmware-updates/78211/550):
>
> Homey Pro v12.7.0 has been released to the stable channel. Matter Adds support for migrating Matter devices when a new cluster is added. Adds support for setting the duration parameter on dim level, color and color temperature Flow cards. Adds support for color looping of lights (when the device supports this). Adds support for configuring the on/off transition time. Adds support for configuring the on/off state after a device has lost power. Adds support for configuring a temperature offset…

I recommend to disable auto updates.  
Despite RC versions get published up front, some firmware updates can cause issues on particular Homeys.  
The timeline (and Slack, and the topic above) will inform you about updates, in case you don’t want to miss out.

</div>

And to report back on this one: Homey runs now stable for 3 days on the latest released firmware (12.7.0), so the stability issues I experienced with InfluxDB were caused by the firmware update that did not complete.

It was quite a coincidence that this happened roughly at the same time that I migrated the INfluxDB docker/database to a new NAS.

Anyone got this app to work on Homey Self-Hosted? I’ve tried to get it to write to my database, both 1.2.2 and the 1.1.0 version.

Tried new tokens, flows, buckets and now I’m really starting to think it’s an app update issue. But if someone else got it to work then I’d know if there’s some type of settings-error on my part.

Then InfluxDB works with Home Assistant.

i don’t no why, but i have the same problem. but also on the “normal” homey. No data sended to my the influxDB. InfluxDB app it’s connected, data also send (measurements) but nothing in the DB. Use now a python script, what send the Homewizard data direct, it’s working now.

Newbie with Influx. installed on docker on synology and the app in homey seems to work:

But in Influx i do not see anything:

where should i start debugging?

edit2: i can import sample data from the influx gui into the bucket, so in general it works

Thanks

I’m newbe in this stuff. The App works great, the database runs fine on my NAS, the Grafana works great but I have problem to recognize my homey datapoint names. The names used hardly recognizable. There is lots of try and error involved. is there no possibility to work with relay table so the datapoints are similar like in the homey. Someone has experience with this to help me forward. Thks in advance
