Using the Home Assistant integration
Home Assistant is an open source home automation system. You can run it locally on your server or even on a Raspberry Pi. It’s a very mature project, which integrates more than 1,900 devices and services.
You can find all the documentation and the project files on its website at https://www.home-assistant.io/.
Although Home Assistant was born as a home automation system, you can also use it as part of an IoT system. You can, for example, integrate it with Grafana, InfluxDB, MQTT, and many other services and applications.
The Grafana Cloud service integration lets you monitor your Home Assistant instance, getting metrics from its services.
Important Note
To be able to scrap the Home Assistant instance from the Grafana Agent, you have to use the Home Assistant Core version. You can see how to install it at https://www.home-assistant.io/installation/linux#install-home-assistant-core.
