# OpenDTU Logger Home Assistant add-on

[OpenDTU logger](https://git.hollander.online/energy/opendtu-logger) adds detailed, long-term storage and visualisation of Hoymiles solar inverter metrics monitored with [OpenDTU](https://www.opendtu.solar/). 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 don’t have a lot of technical knowledge.

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.
