The <a href="https://influxdb.com/">InfluxDB</a> database is a so-called time series database primarly designed to store sensor data and real-time analytics.</p>
<p>The <code>influxdb</code> component makes it possible to transfer all state changes from Home Assistant to an external <a href="https://influxdb.com/">InfluxDB</a> database.</p>
<a name="read-more"></a>
<p>The first step is to install the InfluxDB packages. If you are not running Fedora, check the <a href="https://influxdb.com/docs/v0.9/introduction/installation.html">installation</a> section for further details.</p>
<div class="highlighter-coderay"><div class="CodeRay">
<div class="code"><pre>$ sudo dnf -y install http://influxdb.s3.amazonaws.com/influxdb-0.9.5.1-1.x86_64.rpm
</pre></div>
</div>
</div>
<p>Launch the InfluxDB service.</p>
<div class="highlighter-coderay"><div class="CodeRay">
<div class="code"><pre>$ sudo systemctl start influxdb
</pre></div>
</div>
</div>
<p>If everything went well, then the web interface of the ddatabase should be accessible at <a href="http://localhost:8083/">http://localhost:8083/</a>. Create a database <code>home_assistant</code> to use with Home Assistant either with the web interface or the commandline tool <code>influx</code>.</p>
<p class="img">
<img src="/images/blog/2015-12-influxdb/influxdb-frontend.png" />
InfluxDB web frontend
</p>
<div class="highlighter-coderay"><div class="CodeRay">
<div class="code"><pre>$ influx
Visit https://enterprise.influxdata.com to register for updates, InfluxDB server management, and monitoring.
Connected to http://localhost:8086 version 0.9.5.1
InfluxDB shell 0.9.5.1
&gt; CREATE DATABASE home_assistant
</pre></div>
</div>
</div>
<p>An optional step is to create a user. Keep in mind to adjust the configuration (add <code>username</code> and <code>password</code>) in the next step if you prefer to go this way.</p>
<div class="highlighter-coderay"><div class="CodeRay">
<div class="code"><pre>&gt; CREATE USER &quot;home-assistant&quot; WITH PASSWORD 'password'
</pre></div>
</div>
</div>
<p>To use the <code>influxdb</code> component in your installation, add the following to your <code>configuration.yaml</code> file:</p>
<div class="highlighter-coderay"><div class="CodeRay">
<div class="code"><pre><span class="key">influxdb</span>:
<span class="key">host</span>: <span class="string"><span class="content">127.0.0.1</span></span>
</pre></div>
</div>
</div>
<p>After you restart Home Assistant you should see that the InfluxDB database gets filled. The <a href="https://influxdb.com/docs/v0.9/query_language/index.html">language</a> to query the database is similar to SQL.</p>
<div class="highlighter-coderay"><div class="CodeRay">
<div class="code"><pre>$ influx
[...]
&gt; USE home_assistant
Using database home_assistant
&gt; SELECT * FROM binary_sensor
name: binary_sensor
-------------------
time domain entity_id value
1449496577000000000 binary_sensor bathroom_door 0
1449496577000000000 binary_sensor bathroom_window 0
1449496577000000000 binary_sensor basement_door 0
1449496577000000000 binary_sensor basement_window 0
1449496684000000000 binary_sensor bathroom_window 1
[...]
</pre></div>
</div>
</div>
<p><a href="http://grafana.org/">Grafana</a> is a dashboard that can create graphs from different sources including InfluxDB. The installation is simple, and there are detailed steps for many different configurations on the <a href="http://docs.grafana.org/installation/">Grafana installation</a> page. For a recent system that is running Fedora:</p>
<div class="highlighter-coderay"><div class="CodeRay">
<div class="code"><pre>$ sudo dnf -y install https://grafanarel.s3.amazonaws.com/builds/grafana-2.5.0-1.x86_64.rpm
</pre></div>
</div>
</div>
<p>Start the grafana server.</p>
<div class="highlighter-coderay"><div class="CodeRay">
<div class="code"><pre>$ sudo systemctl daemon-reload
$ sudo systemctl start grafana-server
$ sudo systemctl status grafana-server
</pre></div>
</div>
</div>
<p>Login with the username <code>admin</code> and the password <code>admin</code> at <a href="http://localhost:3000/login">http://localhost:3000/login</a>. Now follow the <a href="http://docs.grafana.org/datasources/influxdb/">InfluxDB setup instructions</a>.</p>
<p>Now you can start to create dashboards and graphs. You have various options to get the data from the graph. The next image just shows a screenshot of the setting for a temperature sensor.</p>
<p class="img">
<img src="/images/blog/2015-12-influxdb/grafana-settings.png" />

</p>
<p>If the graph is not showing up in the dashboard you need to adjust the time range in the right upper corner. The graph is created for all state changes recorded by Home Assistant.</p>

<id>https://home-assistant.io/blog/2015/12/07/influxdb-and-grafana</id>
<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p><img src="https://home-assistant.io/images/supported_brands/influxdb.png" style="clear: right; border:none; box-shadow: none; float: right; margin-bottom: 12px;" width="200" /><img src="https://home-assistant.io/images/supported_brands/grafana.png" style="clear: right; border:none; box-shadow: none; float: right; margin-bottom: 12px;" width="200" /><br />
The <a href="https://influxdb.com/">InfluxDB</a> database is a so-called time series database primarly designed to store sensor data and real-time analytics.</p>
<p>The <code>influxdb</code> component makes it possible to transfer all state changes from Home Assistant to an external <a href="https://influxdb.com/">InfluxDB</a> database.</p>
<!--more-->
<p>The first step is to install the InfluxDB packages. If you are not running Fedora, check the <a href="https://influxdb.com/docs/v0.9/introduction/installation.html">installation</a> section for further details.</p>
<div class="highlighter-coderay"><div class="CodeRay">
<div class="code"><pre>$ sudo dnf -y install http://influxdb.s3.amazonaws.com/influxdb-0.9.5.1-1.x86_64.rpm
</pre></div>
</div>
</div>
<p>Launch the InfluxDB service.</p>
<div class="highlighter-coderay"><div class="CodeRay">
<div class="code"><pre>$ sudo systemctl start influxdb
</pre></div>
</div>
</div>
<p>If everything went well, then the web interface of the ddatabase should be accessible at <a href="http://localhost:8083/">http://localhost:8083/</a>. Create a database <code>home_assistant</code> to use with Home Assistant either with the web interface or the commandline tool <code>influx</code>.</p>
<p class="img">
<img src="https://home-assistant.io/images/blog/2015-12-influxdb/influxdb-frontend.png" />
InfluxDB web frontend
</p>
<div class="highlighter-coderay"><div class="CodeRay">
<div class="code"><pre>$ influx
Visit https://enterprise.influxdata.com to register for updates, InfluxDB server management, and monitoring.
Connected to http://localhost:8086 version 0.9.5.1
InfluxDB shell 0.9.5.1
&gt; CREATE DATABASE home_assistant
</pre></div>
</div>
</div>
<p>An optional step is to create a user. Keep in mind to adjust the configuration (add <code>username</code> and <code>password</code>) in the next step if you prefer to go this way.</p>
<div class="highlighter-coderay"><div class="CodeRay">
<div class="code"><pre>&gt; CREATE USER &quot;home-assistant&quot; WITH PASSWORD 'password'
</pre></div>
</div>
</div>
<p>To use the <code>influxdb</code> component in your installation, add the following to your <code>configuration.yaml</code> file:</p>
<div class="highlighter-coderay"><div class="CodeRay">
<div class="code"><pre><span class="key">influxdb</span>:
<span class="key">host</span>: <span class="string"><span class="content">127.0.0.1</span></span>
</pre></div>
</div>
</div>
<p>After you restart Home Assistant you should see that the InfluxDB database gets filled. The <a href="https://influxdb.com/docs/v0.9/query_language/index.html">language</a> to query the database is similar to SQL.</p>
<div class="highlighter-coderay"><div class="CodeRay">
<div class="code"><pre>$ influx
[...]
&gt; USE home_assistant
Using database home_assistant
&gt; SELECT * FROM binary_sensor
name: binary_sensor
-------------------
time domain entity_id value
1449496577000000000 binary_sensor bathroom_door 0
1449496577000000000 binary_sensor bathroom_window 0
1449496577000000000 binary_sensor basement_door 0
1449496577000000000 binary_sensor basement_window 0
1449496684000000000 binary_sensor bathroom_window 1
[...]
</pre></div>
</div>
</div>
<p><a href="http://grafana.org/">Grafana</a> is a dashboard that can create graphs from different sources including InfluxDB. The installation is simple, and there are detailed steps for many different configurations on the <a href="http://docs.grafana.org/installation/">Grafana installation</a> page. For a recent system that is running Fedora:</p>
<div class="highlighter-coderay"><div class="CodeRay">
<div class="code"><pre>$ sudo dnf -y install https://grafanarel.s3.amazonaws.com/builds/grafana-2.5.0-1.x86_64.rpm
</pre></div>
</div>
</div>
<p>Start the grafana server.</p>
<div class="highlighter-coderay"><div class="CodeRay">
<div class="code"><pre>$ sudo systemctl daemon-reload
$ sudo systemctl start grafana-server
$ sudo systemctl status grafana-server
</pre></div>
</div>
</div>
<p>Login with the username <code>admin</code> and the password <code>admin</code> at <a href="http://localhost:3000/login">http://localhost:3000/login</a>. Now follow the <a href="http://docs.grafana.org/datasources/influxdb/">InfluxDB setup instructions</a>.</p>
<p>Now you can start to create dashboards and graphs. You have various options to get the data from the graph. The next image just shows a screenshot of the setting for a temperature sensor.</p>
<p class="img">

</p>
<p>If the graph is not showing up in the dashboard you need to adjust the time range in the right upper corner. The graph is created for all state changes recorded by Home Assistant.</p>

Inspried by a <a href="https://github.com/balloob/home-assistant/issues/310">feature requests</a> I started looking into the available options to do monitoring of remote hosts. The feature request is about displaying system information in a similar way than the <a href="/components/sensor.systemmonitor/">systemmonitor</a> sensor does it for the local system. After a while I started to think that it would be a nice addition for a small home network where no full-blown system monitoring setup is present.</p>

<p>I have recently merged code to refactor Home Assistant to use only UTC times internally. A much needed refactor. I’ve added some extra test coverage to time sensitive parts to ensure stability. The code has been live in the dev branch for the last 9 days and will be soon released to the master branch.</p>
<p>From now on all internal communication will be done in UTC: time changed events, datetime attributes of states, etc. To get the current time in UTC you can call <code>homeassistant.util.dt.utcnow()</code>. This is a timezone aware UTC datetime object. <a href="https://github.com/balloob/home-assistant/blob/dev/homeassistant/util/dt.py"><code>homeassistant.util.dt</code></a> is a new util package with date helpers.</p>
<p>There is also such a thing as local time. Local time is based on the time zone that you have setup in your <code>configuration.yaml</code>. Local times should only be used for user facing information: logs, frontend and automation settings in <code>configuration.yaml</code>.</p>
<h3>Setting up your time zone</h3>
<p>Setting up a time zone happens in <code>configuration.yaml</code>. If you have no time zone setup, it will be auto detected using the existing detection code using <a href="https://freegeoip.net">freegeoip.net</a>. You can find a list of compatible time zones on <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones">Wikipedia</a>.</p>

<span class="key">time_zone</span>: <span class="string"><span class="content">America/Los_Angeles</span></span>
</pre></div>
</div>
</div>
<h3>Compatibility</h3>
<p>The changes to the code are mostly backwards compatible. The old <code>hass.track_time_change</code> and <code>hass.track_point_in_time</code> use now internally two new methods: <code>hass.track_utc_time_change</code> and <code>hass.track_point_in_utc_time</code>. The usage of the old methods have not changed and should be backwards compatible.</p>
<p>This refactor adds a new migration for the database adding a <code>utc_offset</code> column to events and states. This information is currently not used but can prove useful in the future when we start analyzing the historical data.</p>
<h3><a class="title-link" name="backwards-incompatible-stuff" href="#backwards-incompatible-stuff"></a> Backwards incompatible stuff</h3>
<p>All built-in components have been upgraded. The following list is only for people that run custom components:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>hass.track_time_change</code> and <code>hass.track_point_in_time</code> will now return a time zone aware datetime object. Python does not allow comparing a naive with an aware datetime object.</li>
<li>the sun attributes for rising and setting are now in UTC. The methods <code>sun.next_rising(hass)</code> and <code>sun.next_setting(hass)</code> are backwards compatible, just be careful if you used to read the raw attributes.</li>
<li>the API sends all times in UTC. If you use anything else besides the frontend to talk to HA, make sure it handles it differently.</li>
