This tutorial on using ESP32 with InfluxDB is exactly what I needed! The step-by-step instructions and clear explanations make it easy to follow. I’m excited to set up my own IoT projects with this combination. Thanks for the detailed guide!

Your tutorials and the information that you unselfishly provide is almost unparalleled, and it’s saved me many hours of work. A small issue that would also add some value is to put a time stamp on such comments as “… at the moment there are some issues with version 2.0.2, so don’t select that one …”. Thanks.

Always love your tutorials!
Is there anyway to use micropython to send data to influxdb 1.8.x from an esp32?
I’ve tried
res = urequests.post(url, headers=headers, data=data)
and everything looks good via print(url) etc but nothing gets logged into influxdb.
I prefer to use python/ micropython over C and sketches but I am wracking my brains over this. I am successful when I use a simple curl command in my terminal though.
curl -i -XPOST ‘http://x.x.x.x:8086/write?db=sensor_data&u=xxx&p=xxx’ –data-binary ‘esp32,location=couch humidity=1,pressure=3,temperature=3’
but I cannot translate that to micropython. Any thoughts would be GREATLY appreciated.

Please also make an article teaching the way to connect ESP32 with InfluxDB but with Micropython

Hi.
That is not possible with InfluxdB.

I have exactly the same problem: no dashboard icon available.
I thought this could be a change in free plan but I couldn’t find any confirm about this.
To reproduce: create a new account and have a look.
It is also impossible to choose where to store data, only AWS is available

Is it a way to control ESP32 from influxdb/grafana? I think about LED on/off, send data (integer, float, text)… like in your Firebase or Ubidots tutorials.
BTW I also can not find dashboard icon in my influxdb page created today.

Hi.
Do you mean that you don’t have the “Dashboard” icon on your InfluxDB page?
Can you show me a printscreen of your dashboard? (to share a picture, upload it to google drive and then share a link to the file).
Regards,
Sara

Hey there,
thanks for another awesome tutorial! Everything on ESP32 side is working brilliant, publishing data and receiving them in InfluxDB cloud works like a charm.

Unfortunately my InfluxDB cloud webpage looks differently and the sidemap only shows three points: Load Data, Data Explorer and Settings.
The Dashboard point is not visible and I’m wondering how to create one? Maybe I missed something?

Best regards and thanks again!
