Hi there!
I’m currently installing some self built smart meters in my house (water, gas and power) that provide their measurements via MQTT. For the visualization I chose Grafana.
Showing the absolute values of each smart meter in Grafana is of course easy. But what I haven’t figured out yet is how to visualize the deltas. E.g. I would like to have a bar graph that shows the power consumption for the last week grouped by day. Or the water consumption of a whole year grouped by month.
Since the meters are always counting up, it would suffice to subtract the max and min values of each day/week/month/year to get the delta in that timespan. This could then be done multiple times to get a bar graph with multiple days/weeks/months.
Is this possible with InfluxDB/Grafana? If so, how?
Or shoukd I choose a different database?
