Searching the “beginners” section for how to set up persistence or even which one I should even choose has left me stumped, there are no beginners in the beginners section!!!
I am an actual beginner and I need the communities help/suggestions on which persistence service I should choose and then also what it actually does if I want the following;
Certain Philips Hue and Wemo Lights to turn on/off after motion activity/inactivity from Aeotec MultiSensor 6
Log Power usage from Aeotec Smart Switches and display day/week/month on HabPanel (I think i have the display side sorted)
I have been using PaperUI on RaspberryPi 3 OpenHabian (latest Version 2.3? i think), I use Windows and FileZilla for most other stuff on OH so your linux ‘sudo command wink nudge’ gibberish means nothing to me
I wish to run everything on the Pi if possible, though i do have a Windows PC (mostly on) and QNAP NAS (always on)
The Smarthomeblog page got close with what I want.
I just want to be able to turn lights on and off with motion or lack thereof and then to be able to chart, or display in a dummy panel, energy usage values over a period of time.
Restore on start up isn’t too much of an issue for me, I am more than happy to tap the icon on HABPanel a couple of times to update a light or wait for a temperature sensor to auto update.
The other links you’ve sent are the problem, I’m a beginner, I just don’t understand the terminology… hence the post asking for help
Thank you for your help, I have started using the influxdb and grafana for the energy monitoring per the smarthomeblog post provided by Harry and Elias.
I haven’t installed the demo, the link provide for download fails?
