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), 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.
I’ve spent two full evenings using ChatGPT and searching online, but I just can’t get it to work.
I also have data from before my Homey days, also in a CSV format, which InfluxDB doesn’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
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?
Maybe you should take a moment to read the page Marius mentioned…
Something about an Influx CLI tool
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.
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:
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.
Thanks for the information @Peter_Kawa !
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.
