I hope this is the right forum. I’m looking at possibly buying into the Smartthings ecosystem, but wanted to know if there was a way to query data out of Smartthings, either the devices directly, the Hub, or from an API, and ingest it into InfluxDB? I already monitor home power consumption, as we…

[image] SmartThings Data Visualisation using InfluxDB and Grafana Projects & Stories Hi all, Here’s a write-up of how I’m using InfluxDB and Grafana to visualise SmartThings device states in charts and dashboards. The solution uses a custom SmartApp I’ve written to sen…

Hi Evan, there’s two ways of doing it: You can push the data from SmartThings to InfluxDB, which is what my SmartApp does OR You can pull the data, which requires a SmartApp to expose a REST API (or similar) to be polled by your database (SmartThings doesn’t have a default API that can be used fo…

I do, with Grafana pulling from InfluxDB. If anyone wants to see some examples, I can provide them. I love graphs!

I would love to see them Michael. As a previous data analyst, still near and dear to my heart, love visual data analytics. Thank you for sharing and glad I remembered it was You !

Here are some examples of some related things that are possible with SmartThings. I’d guess you can accomplish your goal if you’re willing to put in some development effort.
