btmon patch for RaspPi Influxdb

Just calling out in case someone has already solved this....

Looking to change my logging from the vintage sqlite/dashboard to using

ECM >> serial >> Raspberry PI > Btmon > InfluxDB

sure could use MQTT, but looking to keep everything tight, I will use grafana as the prettyness provider but not on the pi

any thoughts ?

hi roscoe,

mark clark has already written the mqtt extension. it is waiting to be merged on github (i plan to do the merge after i can test it more, probably in about 2 weeks' time). look in the pull requests:

https://github.com/matthewwall/mtools

i wrote an influx extension to weewx, and i've been running that for some time now to make sure i got the bugs out. i plan to port that over to btmon as soon as the mqtt changes have been merged.

I am starting out with InfluxDB and Grafana and was just researching if anyone had a ECM-1240 to InfluxDB interface. I was glad to see Matt added the MQTT option to btmon. I can use Node-Red as the interface between MQTT and InfluxDB. But, if there was a btmon output to InfluxDB option, I would use it.

I am running InfluxDB and Grafana on a Pi 2 and everything is fine.

mroch and roscoe57 have been tweaking an influxdb pull request. you might give that a try and let us know how it works for you.

i plan to merge the pr as soon as it is sufficiently tested.
