No need for that mate, just deploy home assistant or something similar and you will get this (and more) out of the box
Grafana is a hell of a lot nicer & controllable than HA HA is great, but it's not the answer to everything

Right up until the Home Assistant UI turns into a lagfest, the installation dies, and you can't debug why because Docker. At least that's what happened to me. And no, it wasn't RPi SD power issues. This happened on an otherwise-stable amd64 server. The Home Assistant authors' hostility towards simple native distributions is now a show stopper for me. Long term reliability is more important than quick initial setup.

HA is actually pretty debuggable. Just install the SSH plugin, then SSH into the HA box, and then simply "docker exec" into the target HA container.
It's obviously possible to debug what goes on inside a Docker image. It's just not something I'm particularly interested in dealing with, especially under duress.

HA can export data to Prometheus. Setting up and running HA is much easier than figuring out how to get a set of different smart devices to export metrics to Prometheus/Influx. Let HA deal with that.

Guys what are your favourite smart plug? I need one with easy integration with grafana, not sucking, and shipment to EU country?
Yeah, not to mention the ability to automate things. My latest automation: when the white noise machine is on for the baby, the doorbell volume is turned down.
Could you expand on how prometheus or grafana helps you automate? I didn’t know either enabled that.
