IoT party: installing InfluxDB (+Grafana) on a Raspberry PI for IoT sensors
Last year I upgraded my solar water panels with some temperature probes, and I scattered NodeMCU in my house (with some DHT22 and DHT11 sensors). At the time I had an old PC that was acting as a server: IoT devices were sending readings to RabbitMQ instance on that server, with a shell script that was bridging between MQTT and RRDTool database.
Of course, for me that was perfect. But I when I tried to share these tools with my family, quickly became clear that I had to make a nice interface. I ended up by sending the chart by Telegram with a bot.
Then, during last month, the old server died. I moved some things to the cloud, and some other things were archived. After some free-time during cleanup (I had two 1TB disks to cleanup...) I landed into Grafana home page. And I decided to give it a try.
