Home Assistant Logger

This script connects to a Home Assistant instance, fetches temperature and humidity data, stores it, and generates an HTML report.

Prerequisites

• Docker

How to Use

1. Build the Docker Image

docker build -t ha-logger .

2. Run the Docker Container

You need to provide your Home Assistant URL and a Long-Lived Access Token as environment variables.

docker run --rm -v $(pwd):/app 
  -e HA_URL="http://your-home-assistant-ip:8123" 
  -e HA_TOKEN="your-long-lived-access-token" 
  ha-logger

• Replace "http://your-home-assistant-ip:8123" with the URL of your Home Assistant instance.
• Replace "your-long-lived-access-token" with your token.

The -v $(pwd):/app command mounts the current directory into the container, so the output files (index.html and sensor_data.json) are created and updated in your project folder.

How it Works

• The script connects to your Home Assistant instance using the provided URL and token.
• It fetches all devices and filters for sensors that have a unit of °C (Celsius) or % (for humidity).
• The new readings are appended to the sensor_data.json file.
• An index.html file is generated, displaying the latest readings and a searchable, sortable history of all readings.

Generated Files

• sensor_data.json: Stores the historical data for all sensor readings.
• index.html: The generated HTML report. Open this file in your browser to see the sensor data.
