HomeAssistant app for Splunk

This is a Splunk app designed to be used with the HomeAssistant home automation platform, to give you more insight into your system.

Requirements

• You need to have at least Splunk 6.3 installed, since this uses the HTTP Event Collector introduced in that version.
• HomeAssistant installed on a machine that can connect to the one running Splunk.

Installation

• Install the app by copying the homeassistant directory to $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/homeassistant and restarting Splunk so that the app is recognized.
• At this moment, you must manually enable the HTTP Event Collector and add a token for HomeAssitant:

• Go Settings > Data Inputs and choose HTTP Event Collector
• For "All Tokens", select "Enabled", and click "Save"
• Choose "New Token"
• Give your token a name and click "Next"
• Under "Source type", choose "Select", and then "Structured > homeassistant_event"
• Under Index, set your index ("homeassistant", by default) as the "Default Index"
• When you're done, you'll be given the "Token Value". Place this in your HomeAssistant configuration as per the Splunk component's documentation.

Features

• Provides analogues to HomeAssistant's native reporting, including a range-configurable History view and a filterable logbook.
• Provides a Device Tracker view that shows time spent per location/device
• Provides an Energy Usage dashboard (although this may need to be customized to your HomeAssistant configuration)
