How to Integrate Grafana with Home Assistant
This post covers how to get started with Home Assistant and Grafana, including setting up InfluxDB and Grafana with Docker, configuring InfluxDB to receive data from Home Assistant, and creating a Grafana dashboard to visualize your data. It provides a comprehensive guide for real-time monitoring and analysis of Home Assistant data. In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to integrate Grafana with Home Assistant using InfluxDB.
Implement dbt data quality checks with dbt-expectations
dbt is one of the most popular solutions for data transformations and modeling. Many commercial data pipelines rely on dozens, or even hundreds, of individual dbt jobs. Data engineers, data platform engineers, and analytics engineers who own these pipelines need to maintain a testing framework to prevent mistakes in data processing that can compromise analysis.
A Guide to Regression Analysis with Time Series Data
Regression analysis with time series data in Python provides a basis for understanding how values change over time. By following this guide, you’ll understand regression as applied to time series data, how to prepare it in Python, and how to create regression models that’ll help discover trends and influence decisions. With the vast amount of time series data generated, captured, and consumed daily, how can you make sense of it?
From Market Noise to Clear Strategy: How AI Is Changing Business Intelligence
Modern businesses are drowning in data. Every click, transaction, customer interaction, and campaign generates information. Yet having more data does not automatically lead to better decisions. In fact, many organizations struggle because they are surrounded by insights but lack clarity. Reports contradict each other, dashboards multiply, and teams spend more time interpreting data than acting on it. This gap between data and direction is where artificial intelligence is reshaping business intelligence.
From Mining to Manufacturing - Why MRO Data Discipline Transfers Everywhere
MRO parts lists frequently include duplicate descriptions, incomplete attributes, and inconsistent naming. These problems appear in mining, manufacturing, energy, and utilities due to weak data controls rather than industry-specific factors. Structured MRO data allows maintenance and procurement teams to reference the same records, locate correct parts faster, and reduce time spent validating details across systems.
Performing Real-Time Anomaly Detection with InfluxDB 3: An In-Depth Guide
If you’re working with sensors, machines, or embedded systems, your primary goal is simple: no unplanned downtime and smooth operations. This means detecting errors and taking action as soon as possible, ideally preventing them through predictive maintenance before they become critical issues.

Why Use a Purpose-Built Time Series Database
A time series database has a straightforward definition: it’s a database purpose-built for efficiently ingesting, storing, and querying time series data. Time series data is any data with a timestamp, collected regularly or periodically, that you’ll often visualize on graphs where the X-axis is time. This definition doesn’t quite tell you what sets it apart from other types of databases, though.
