Home automation dashboard tutorial using Home Assistant, InfluxdB and Grafana

This is a basic home automation tutorial for how to setup a home automation dashboard. I love dashboards...ever since seeing the LCARS and Okudagrams in Star Trek, I've wanted to have visual representations of ...anything. But what I didn't expect is that people have been building some amazingly beautiful..but also useful...home dashboards for everything from power usage to climate monitoring to computer health and more.

In this video I'll show a tutorial of how to get the basics up. I cut it down aggressively with the intent of making every minute of it as informative and useful as possible (though it does have a bit of an abrupt ending).

This video builds on the ecobee tutorial to get 5 temperature sensors added, however you can use any temperature sensor or data source that you want for this.
