## Home sensor actions data
Includes hypothetical actions triggered by data in the [Get started home sensor data](#get-started-home-sensor-data)
and is a companion dataset to that sample dataset.
To customize timestamps in the dataset, use the {{< icon "clock" >}} button in
the lower right corner of the page.
This lets you modify the sample dataset to stay within the retention period of
the database you write it to.
