- If you're using Expaso's TimescaleDB add-on, the `db` setting will **not** require any changes.
- **In the `opendtu_address` field, enter the *IP address* or *hostname* of your OpenDTU.** E.g.: `192.168.1.5` or `opendtu.local`.
- If your OpenDTU is password-protected
- If your OpenDTU is password-protected, setting the following variables is required. Otherwise, it is optional, but still recommended.
- `opendtu_auth`: Enable this setting
- `opendtu_username`: `admin`
- `opendtu_password`: `replace_with_your_password`
- In `tz`, enter your timezone. The default is "Europe/Amsterdam". If you are in a different location, choose your timezone from [this list](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones#List).
- Optionally, if you don't want to use TimescaleDB, disable `timescaledb`.
- It is recommended to leave the `log_level` set to `INFO`.
- Valid options are `DEBUG`, `INFO`, `WARN` and `ERROR`.
Save the configuration, go to the "Info" tab and start OpenDTU Logger.

Using the aforementioned steps, you should now have a working OpenDTU Logger setup. However, it is important to keep your data safe. [Expaso recommends](https://github.com/Expaso/hassos-addons/tree/master/timescaledb#usage) changing the default postgres `homeassistant` password. I recommend following their recommendation and also installing the pgAdmin4 add-on using the [instructions](https://github.com/Expaso/hassos-addons/tree/master/pgadmin4) they provide. In case you're doing this after setting up OpenDTU Logger, remember to also update this password in the OpenDTU Logger config and the Grafana data source connection settings.
## Troubleshooting
- Error: `"level":"INFO","msg":"websocket: bad handshake"}`
- Authentication is probably misconfigured. Ensure `opendtu_auth` is set to enabled and a valid `opendtu_username` and `opendtu_password` are set.
