Influxdb and Grafana

I would like to see you do a video on a project using Influxdb and Grafana.
Example: A temperature /humidity logger with DTH22/11. running on Battery. Maybe incorporating ESP8266 deep sleep.
              Multiple sensor boards all graphing in Grafana around the house and property.  Green House?
Thanks
Kevin

Re: Influxdb and Grafana

Thats not a bad idea!

Gonna have to dig deep and learn how to interface with those but it shouldn't be too hard.

Check out the excellent youtube tutorials by YouTuber "BurnsHA".  he goes through all the steps to integrate Home assistant with InfluxDB and Grafana.  Pretty neat stuff.

Re: Influxdb and Grafana

I am very new to Arduino and Linux. I am finding the code my biggest challenge.
Your videos are a great help.
I finally after weeks of playing got my temperature logger working and graphing in Grafana.
The Influx and Grafanna was the hardest. I am using ESP-01, DTH22
Sketch I use is a web server so sends data to a web page.
I run a script on my Linux machine to scrape the data and post to influxdb.
I would love to find a sketch that post data direct from ESP 8266 to influxdb.
Next I plan to build second logger with dallas 18b20 and would love to play with deep sleep.
I see people using attiny85 interrupt to wake. That sounds cool. I only have ESP-01's on hand so looks like i need to get some ESP-12 ordered. I don't think I can solder that fine on the ESP-01.

Thanks
