Node-RED Flow - Hubitat Performance Monitor

Lately I've been working to track down what exactly has been causing my hub to slow down at times. As part of the troubleshooting, I wanted to maintain some graphs and logs of hub response times, and also to be notified when the hub begins acting up. [43%20PM] Great! What does it do? The flow makes an HTTP request to the hub's App List page every five minutes and calculates the response time. The response time is written to MySQL, InfluxDB, and a JSON log file on disk. If the response time…

I've been slowly working towards making it generic, and pushing it to the public distro, but am not quite there yet. How I do it, is I use MakerAPI and the event websocket. That is where I could use some opinions from others. Q: For devices to pass to MQTT, I have 2 different sets of code. a. On one c…

Hubitat > NodeRed > MySQL > Grafana (LONG READ)

Just a warning: This is a LONG read. I'm a NodeRed junkie for home automation tasks. I find it easy to do everything from network monitoring to rotating log files and firing off complex automations in Hubitat that I don't find Rule Manager suitable for. With that said, the topic here is getting your logs and events from your Hubitat hub and finally into Grafana. I chose Hubitat because I want everything running in my house locally (with some exceptions like Alexa/Google Home, etc). Part of tha…

That should keep you busy for a few months
