The `thingspeak` components makes Home Assistant communicate with the [ThingSpeak API](https://thingspeak.com/).
|
|
For now, it records exactly one entity at once, which is great for testing purposes. For long-time storage you should rely
|
|
on the [InfluxDB component](https://home-assistant.io/components/influxdb/).
|
|
|
|
You will have to create a [new channel](https://thingspeak.com/channels/new) on ThingSpeak and grab your API key from your [account page](https://thingspeak.com/account).
|
|
|
|
To setup the ThinkSpeak component in your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# Example configuration.yaml entry
|
|
thingspeak:
|
|
api_key: MY_API_KEY
|
|
id: 1337
|
|
whitelist: sensor.yr_temperature
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Configuration variables:
|
|
|
|
- **api_key** (*Required*): Yout ThingSpeak API key.
|
|
- **id** (*Required*): The ID of your desired ThingSpeak channel.
|
|
- **whitelist** (*Required*): The name of the entity whose states should be sent to the channel.
