Hi all,
On the Fibaro forum I seen various examples of people who succesfully configured Influxdb/grafana to work together with Fibaro. All with the goal to have improved logging of historic state changes of HC2.
One of the solutions are provided by @bpannier, see github https://github.com/bpannier/Home-Center-2/tree/master/Device Dashboard.
In all solutions I found I see that a scene is used to push data from HC2 into the influxdb.
Influxdb also comes with chronograf, I guess this is a new feature. Chronograf seems an additional package that should make it easier (no CLI) to manage databases and visualization.
I found a section about Fibaro in the default chronograf config file , see screenshot.
So it seems that chronograf can pull information from Fibaro HC2 instead of HC2 pushing information to the database.
Does anyone have experience with this / know how to configure this properly to make this work?
I get an error 401 (no access) instead of 200 (success). If I test the fibaro API I can see data in browser even without using username/credentials (See screenshot)
It also seems that Chronograf is limited in what it can pull from Fibaro.
state changes of devices seems possible, globals seems not possible or at least I couldnt find it.
Next to Fibaro I run Domoticz to read out my p1 port of "slimme meter". Domoticz has a build in function to push data to Influxdb.
I now wonder;
> should I use Chronograf (it seems a handy tool)

Thanks!
