What is addon-grafana?
This Home Assistant Community App packages Grafana as an addon for Home Assistant, allowing users to run the analytics platform on their self-hosted Home Assistant instance. It provides a web UI accessible via Home Assistant Ingress or direct port access, with a default admin user (password: hassio). The addon supports installing Grafana plugins and custom plugins, configuration via environment variables (GF_* prefix), and integration with InfluxDB for home automation metrics. It runs on aarch64 and amd64 architectures. Image rendering requires a separate rendering service. The project is actively maintained with regular releases following semantic versioning.
