Add Example Grafana Dashboard

[ryanvs]

It would be great if you added an example Grafana dashboard. I am actually very surprised that I can find zero existing 'ecobee' dashboards: https://grafana.com/grafana/dashboards/?search=ecobee

I haven't used Grafana that much so I'm still trying to figure things out.

That's a good idea! I actually don't have an Ecobee-specific dashboard, I just add Ecobee data into some dashboards with data from other sources (1, 2, 3) for home energy usage and home environment.

Here are some individual panels' JSON from my dashboards. Caveat: I don't currently have an Ecobee, so I can't verify these still work as expected … but they should!

This post documents how you can use these JSON documents (in theory, I haven't tried them myself yet).
