ThingSpeak
The thingspeak
integrations makes Home Assistant communicate with the ThingSpeak API.
For now, it records exactly one entity at once, which is great for testing purposes. For long-time storage you should rely on the InfluxDB integration.
Configuration
You will have to create a new channel on ThingSpeak and grab your Write API Key from the “API Keys” tab of the channel you want to use.
To setup the ThingSpeak integration in your installation, add the following to your configuration.yaml
The configuration.yaml file is the main configuration file for Home Assistant. It lists the integrations to be loaded and their specific configurations. In some cases, the configuration needs to be edited manually directly in the configuration.yaml file. Most integrations can be configured in the UI.[Learn more] file:
