Home Assistant

Emoncms History

The emoncms_history integration makes it possible to transfer (write) details collected with Home Assistant to Emoncms.org or your local running Emoncms instance. It will send the data to a specific input node on Emoncms with the entity IDs as a key. Afterwards you can create feeds and dashboards in Emoncms with the collected data.

To use the emoncms_history integration in your installation, add the following to your configuration.yaml file:

# Example configuration.yaml entry
emoncms_history:
  api_key: YOUR_EMONCMS_WRITE_API_KEY
  url: https://emoncms.org
  inputnode: 19
  whitelist:
    - sensor.owm_temperature
    - sensor.owm_wind_speed

To read information from Emoncms to Home Assistant, you can use the emoncms integration.
