I am wondering with the SHS it might be able to store alot more data in insights.  
Are we going to get settings for data retention (old data gets compressed into a few points after some time)?  
And a possebility to backup and restore insights data somehow? (I know insights get stored in backups, But I want a way to only store the timeseries/insights and I do use the influxdb app for now, but this cant be imported back into homey insights? Correct me if I am wrong!)

I see the possebilities with Homey became alot larger when the SHS came 😃
