Hi everyone, I’m diving into the world of data persistence and statistical analytics with my OpenHAB setup. My current setup runs on a Raspberry Pi 2 with OpenHAB 2 beta, and I also have a Synology DiskStation NAS at my disposal. I’m really interested in tracking how long certain actors are active and gathering other relevant metrics, but I’m not entirely sure about the best way to set this up. My Setup and Goals I want to store my data on the NAS for easy access and redundancy. I’ve heard that some databases are easy to install on Synology, but I’m not sure which one would be the best fit. Alternatively, saving files on a mounted shared drive might be simpler, but I need something robust enough for analytics. Questions and Considerations - What persistence option integrates smoothly with OpenHAB and Synology? - Are there any databases you’d recommend for this purpose? - What tools or methods can I use to query the data and create meaningful statistical views? Initial Thoughts I know that OpenHAB has several persistence bindings, like InfluxDB or MongoDB, but I’m not sure how well they work with Synology. I’ve also heard about using shared folders with file-based persistence, but I’m concerned about performance and scalability. Desired Outcome Ideally, I’d like a setup that’s both easy to maintain and powerful enough to handle the analytics I need. Being able to visualize the data in a clean and intuitive way would be a huge plus. If anyone has experience with similar setups or can offer some guidance, I’d greatly appreciate it! Cheers, Hauke
