Struggeling to get InfluxDB to work

Hi,

Using Home Assistant I have setup an InfluxDB (basically clicked install & run). However after setting up a new db and user I’m unable to get IotaWatt to push data to InfluxDB. It always returns me

I tried debugging this as much as possible, but I’m out of ideas so here’s my config and some of the things I tried.
For simplicity I’m testing with iotawatt as username and password.


Important to note is that the delete button doesn’t do anyting. I assume it’s supposed to clear all settings but it just returns me to the index page.

InfluxDB setup

IP & port are correct

Accessing the query api asks for login:

Logging in with iotawatt/iotawatt works:

The log doesn’t show much info either.

Feels like an issue with IotaWatt since I can access InfluxDB correcty from the browser. Is there some verbose logging I can enable or another way to debug this?

Change the first tag to

device = iotawatt

There is a problem with using the variable $device as a tag value. The problem is fixed in the next release coming out soon.

Changed it and doesn’t help. I also restarted just in case.

Might have something to do with the third tag-key being $units. It’s a little redundant anyway as your field-key is also $units.

for what it’s worth, here are my influx settings:

You still have $device as a tag value.

Looks like there is indeed a bug with the variables. I changed my config and it started sending data to InfluxDB :partying_face: thnx!
