Hey everyone, I’ve been diving into optimizing my home automation setup, and I came across an interesting challenge with my sensors. I have a sensor that’s sending data every single second, which is great for real-time monitoring, but it’s also filling up my Home Assistant database pretty quickly. I’ve noticed that having data points every second not only takes up unnecessary disk space but also makes the graphs look cluttered and hard to read. I mean, who needs that level of granularity when an average over a minute would suffice for most purposes?
I’ve been trying to figure out if there’s a way to configure Home Assistant to only store the average value every minute instead of every second. This would save space and make the data visualization much cleaner. I’ve looked into some automations and scripts, but I’m not entirely sure how to set this up properly. Does anyone have experience with this or know of any integrations that can help?
Also, I’d love to hear if others have tackled similar issues and how they approached it. Maybe there’s a clever workaround or a tool I’m not aware of. Any insights or suggestions would be super helpful! Thanks in advance for your advice and experiences.
