Hi everyone, I’ve been exploring ways to collect long-term data from my Shelly devices, similar to how it’s done in ioBroker. I came across a great guide that explained how to track daily, weekly, and monthly usage, and I wanted to share my experience with OpenHAB.
After some research, I found that OpenHAB has built-in capabilities to log data over time. I set up a rule to automatically record energy consumption every hour, which then gets aggregated into daily, weekly, and monthly reports. This has been incredibly helpful for monitoring trends and optimizing energy use.
Here’s a quick overview of what I did:
- Created a rule to trigger every hour and log the current energy consumption.
- Used OpenHAB’s built-in logging features to store this data.
- Set up a dashboard to display the aggregated data, making it easy to visualize trends.
If anyone has tips or alternative methods for achieving this, I’d love to hear them! It’s been a fantastic way to keep track of my home’s energy usage over time.
Cheers,
