Build a Raspberry Pi Telemetry Dashboard for Home Automation

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from DEV Community ·

This guide shows how to replace Home Assistant's SQLite recorder with InfluxDB and Grafana on a Raspberry Pi to handle long-term sensor data. The stack uses Docker Compose with InfluxDB 2.x, Grafana OSS, and Telegraf to collect data from Home Assistant, network devices, and UPS systems. It enables cross-signal correlations and alerting that SQLite cannot support beyond a few weeks of data.

Meridian48 take
A practical, well-documented tutorial for home automation enthusiasts, but the core insight—SQLite chokes on time-series queries—is well-known; the value is in the concrete implementation steps.
