The [OpenDTU Logger Home Assistant add-on](https://git.hollander.online/energy/home-assistant-addons/src/branch/main/opendtu-logger), makes installation easy, even if you dont have a lot of technical knowledge.
While Home Assistant focuses on energy management and short-term storage, OpenDTU Logger saves inverter data as efficiently as possible and in a format that makes it easier and more performant to analyse using tools such as Grafana and simple SQL queries.
While Home Assistant is great for energy management and short-term data storage, OpenDTU Logger excels in saving inverter data efficiently in well-structured, optimised SQL tables. It offers:
- Detailed but efficient storage of inverter metrics, without taking up too much disk space.
- Easy and fast visualisation and analysis: Use the included Grafana dashboards to get started quickly, or build your own using simple SQL queries.
