Hi
as written before I´m very new and unskilled in programming and therefore trying to learn and find the right concept for my home automation system where an infludB is used for data like the current power of the freezer or dish washer etc. This data is stored into influxdB based on changes of the value. No change = No input to influxDB.
Based on these information I´m calculating the total power consumption per specified time range. e.g. 5kWh per day
Doing such queries for bigger time ranges will also mean a lot of data. Therefore I thought of a regular data reduction by calculating the integral for 1 hour and deleting all datapoints within this hour. But what should I do with the timestamp? According my understanding the timestamp is automatically set by influxdB. So in case I´ll do this data reduction once a day (at the end) each value for each hour will have the timestamp of the calculation.
What do you recommend? Isn´t there another possibility instead of doing this calculation every hour? The time needed for the calculation to the database writing will in any case be a “wrong” information.
Are there any templates/standard procedures for data aggegration/reduction?
Thank you very much!
