You basically clone the repo and copy some files. The installation is quite easy if you follow the official instructions. His daemon called RPi Reporter MQTT2HA Daemon runs on the Pi and regularly collects data that is then send to a MQTT message.
To do that in a simple and convenient way I am using the awesome work of ironsheep over on GitHub. The first step to working with data about the Pis is to actually collect it. The system will be built from different components: a daemon (long living process) that runs on each Pi to collect the data, my MQTT server that this data is send to, Home Assistant to save the data and send alarms and Grafana to show some nice stats. Now I am looking to set up a similar system with Home Assistant and make it even better by being able to not just monitor the server itself but also all other Pis I have running. I have run into such a problem back when I was still using OpenHab and have set up a monitoring system back then. It does not change prices for you and allows me to pay for the servers 😉 If you are interested in buying a Raspberry Pi for your smart home consider doing it via my affiliate links above. Alternatively you can get a kit including everything you need.Either a LAN cable or if you are not using a newer Pi a seperate Wifi USB dongle. Optional: if you don’t have one yet buy a SD card reader/writer.
