In Home Assistant, go to Settings > AddOns, press AddOn Store at the bottom right. Search for InfluxDb and select it . Press Install. turn on Start on Boot, Watchdog, and Show in Sidebar, There is no configuration required, so just press the START button.
You will see InfluxDB in the left sidebar.
On the left of the InfuxDb screen, press the Crown icon for Admin
In top left corner press Create Database. Enter a database name eg homessistant and press the green Tick on the right. Add a retention policy. This is the duration that the data will be stored in the InfluxDb database. Note that the longer the duration, the more flash memory will be used in Raspberry Pi.
Next Go to the users Tab on the top menu and create a user and password.
Give the user permission to read and write to the database.
Update the configuration.yaml file using File Editor. Add the following;
influxdb:
host: a0d7b954-influxdb
port: 8086
database: homeassistant
username: <your username>
password: <tour password>
max_retries: 3
default_measurement: state
Restart Home Assistant. After restart, go back to InfluxDb in the sidebar. Go to Explore (the graph icon),
Go to Query1, select your hoe assistant database called "homeassistant" To the right you should see measurement units like %, 0C etc
for %, open the entity ID list, you should see humidity in the list
You do not have to select the humidity
For 0C open the entity ID list- you should see temperature in the list. These are the entities that are passed on to Grafana.
