Using HE with with InfluxDB, Grafana, with InfluxDB Logger

Create Visualizations and Dashboards

Hubitat community shared dashboards

The easiest way to get started with a dashboard will be to obtain shared dashboards from Community members. You can find shared dashboards in the below thread. From here obtain the raw JSON and import it into Grafana using the below procedure.

Here is one of my dashboards that simply shows various temps throughout the house.

Log into Grafana and click on the 3-line sandwich icon in the upper left of the page. Then click on Dashboards. This will load the Dashboard page that will list all of the dashboards you have loaded. From here on the far right of the window there will be an option for “New” Select that and click on Import. Now past the Raw JSON data you copied into the window labled “Import via panel json” and click load.

Now you should have the dashboard available in the list and you can open it. Now based on the dashboard you will need to likely fill in variable across the top to enable access to your specific InfluxDB Database for HE. Once all the variables are setup Click on save and select the checkbox to save the variable settings. Lastly click Save Again. Now you have a working dashboard.
