Hey everyone, I wanted to share my experience with the Wyze Scale and my recent attempt to set up Grafana annotations. It’s been quite a journey, but I’m happy to share what I’ve learned so far!
First, let me talk about the Wyze Scale. I’ve been using it for a while now, and it’s been a great addition to my smart home setup. However, I noticed something odd recently. When I step on the scale, it shows a higher weight than usual, but after stepping off and getting back on, it corrects itself. For example, it showed 200 lbs initially, but after a reset, it showed 195 lbs consistently. I’m not sure if this is a common issue or if there’s a way to fix it. If anyone has encountered this or knows a solution, I’d love to hear your thoughts!
Now, moving on to Grafana. I’ve been trying to set up annotations for my soil moisture and temperature graphs. The idea is to automatically add notes whenever my irrigation system starts. I have an openHAB-controlled valve named ‘Wall_Plug_Irrogation’ that I want to use as the trigger. I followed the Grafana documentation, but my initial attempts didn’t work. I tried different SQL queries, but nothing showed up on the graph. After some trial and error, I managed to get the annotations to appear, but without the text or title I wanted. Here’s the SQL statement I used:
sql
SELECT * from “Wall_Plug_Irrogation” WHERE value = 1 and $timeFilter
It worked in the sense that I saw the annotations, but they were just red lines without any description. I’m still figuring out how to add the text and title. If anyone has experience with Grafana annotations or knows how to format the SQL query correctly, please share your knowledge!
Overall, it’s been a mix of successes and challenges. I’m excited to keep learning and improving my smart home setup. If you have any tips or advice, feel free to reach out. Let’s keep the community growing and sharing!
Happy tinkering everyone!
