Tip:…Grafana heat maps are very good at showing the whole house status in one chart. Influx automatically translates ON/OFF as 1/0. I use heatmaps for monitoring lighting and heating. If Grafana math is used to scale the 1 to 100 then the heatmap also works great with dimmers(0-100) on the same chart. It should also work with blinds too but I havent tried it yet.
Here is one showing how far from the setpoint the room temperatures actually are. The red zones between 21:00 to 08:00 are when the heating targets are adjusted on a schedule to lower values by the central thermo unit.
I used this heatmap to set the circulation water temperature for the heating so that its only just hot enough for the rooms to reach their targets. This saves unccessary heating of the circulating water.
