Website to display temperature/humidity sensor data

[Ϲhristopher]

I have a few Tapo T310 temperature/humidity sensors that connect through a Tapo H200 hub.

I can export the data in CSV format, but there's no way to easily view long term history across multiple sensors.

How difficult would it be to create a website to import the data and display it?

A CSV file is a nice format to use as a data source for graphs or read as simple data in a table.
If you have no web dev experience and use WordPress plugins, it's a couple afternoons.
It would take an experienced dev, an afternoon assuming I am setting up everything from scratch. A few hours at most.

Spin up a local instance of home assistant and job done..

Would be far easier than trying to build something yourself from scratch..

Home Assistant is your friend.

Suppose you could have it display in Grafana too, if you wanted to be fancy

Home Assistant and an integration for your platform would be the easiest.

Or even if you are really lazy and desperate - you can use an online Excel workbook with a couple of sheets to add new data and one sheet you can build a dashboard

Home Assistant does seem like the easiest option. The downsides are that I'd probably have to leave some device running all the time and I won't use any of the other features.

I mean what were you going to run the website on that isn’t online 24/7?

And you say that now…but once you start using it you’ll very quickly find yourself adding everything you never even thought of doing before.

Home Assistant will also track all your history solving that entire issue.

Start with a Pi and it’s not a ballache to get setup or keep running.

That is literally the kind of thing vibe coding works for. Just pick a tech stack and go. Feed your post into ChatGPT. Maybe use php and MySQL.

I'm probably going to this route, how hard can it be

I did consider this, I could do this in few minutes, but it would be cool, if unnecessary, to have it easily available on multiple devices.

Some cloud based service. Setting it up in HA shoul be quick, so it's probably worth exploring the option.

Yeah seems like it should be.

Tapo

Connect and control your Tapo devices using the TP-Link Smart Home integration

www.home-assistant.io

And down the line you’d probably want to automate something using this data, maybe as simple as a notification to your phone or turning something on/off etc.

HA will run great on a raspberry pi.. It's small, draws next to no power, has WiFi and zero noise (assuming you don't get a case with a fan)..

HA on a raspberry pi is a no brainer really..

Webdock Nano instance is $2 a month
You could probably get it up on GCP or Oracle free with a bit more effort
