I found this thread searching for how to add a graph to my dashboard.
So far what I gather is the following:
- Hubitat out of the box does not offer any type of way to view the data from my devices in a graph, or over time
- The recommended method of viewing my data via a graph is to buy another piece of hardware (Raspberry Pi), install an OS and software on that, and then somehow connect that to the Hubitat. If I was willing to set up a Raspberry Pi, I probably would have gone with HA as my software instead of the Hubitat hardware/software combo....
- There is a method within Hubitat to graph but it is not native Hubitat software and is no longer supported, and installing it is involved. I'm willing to put some effort into this, but the level of effort into just getting around the Hubitat interface and installing stuff to make it work is astonishing to me. I'm not putting effort into something that is not supported and may crash at any time.
- There is a new way to create graphs from data the Hubitat collects, but it is not native, and it requires an internet connection, and sending data to a third party and the internet. [RELEASE] HundredGraphs - create Graphs and Alerts
I read so many praises of the Hubitat before I bought this; looked forward to having a totally local device for 2 years. Finally took the plunge at the $99 sale. I'm quite disappointed - it never occured to me that with all the praises the Hubitat gets, I could not do something as simple as view my data in a graph. Very disappointed.
