I used Home Assistant to monitor Raspberry Pi health and regret not using it sooner

Cockpit offers an excellent web GUI to manage a Raspberry Pi. But figuring out the graphs it populates for the system metrics is a struggle. At times, it's difficult to discern any trends in how Pi uses its resources. So, I roped in the Home Assistant to visualize all the system health data for better clarity. Home Assistant doesn't support that by default, and I utilized a third-party script, RPi-MQTT2HA-Daemon, to source the Pi's system health data.
