Hi everyone! I’m thrilled to be part of this amazing community and to share my recent adventure with OpenHab and InfluxDB. I’ve been experimenting with integrating my Tinkerforge RedBrick setup with an InfluxDB instance hosted remotely, and while the setup looks promising, I’m hitting a snag that I can’t seem to crack.
Here’s what I’ve done so far:
-
Setup and Configuration: I installed the InfluxDB binding for OpenHab and configured it to connect to my remote server. The items and persistence strategies are set up to log temperature data every time there’s a change.
-
Testing the Integration: When I query the database, I can see the item names like “DualRelay1”, “Thermostat”, and “temperature” listed, but there’s no actual temperature value associated with them. This is puzzling because the setup seems correct on the surface.
-
Configuration Details: I’ve double-checked the configuration files and settings, ensuring that the InfluxDB URL, credentials, and retention policy are correctly specified. The items are linked to the Tinkerforge temperature sensor, and the persistence strategy is set to log every change.
-
Troubleshooting: I’ve tried adjusting the persistence strategy to log more frequently and even tested the sensor independently to confirm it’s working. The issue persists, leading me to believe it might be a configuration oversight or a compatibility issue with the binding version I’m using.
I’m sure this is something simple I’m missing, but I’ve scoured the forums and documentation without success. If anyone has encountered a similar issue or has insights into what might be going wrong, I’d be incredibly grateful for your guidance!
Thanks in advance for your help! I can’t wait to get this working and start visualizing my temperature data in real-time.
