Connect Mosquitto and InfluxDBB

From Connect Mosquitto and InfluxDB

  1. Install MQTT to InfluxDB service

    sudo pip3 install --upgrade mqtt2influxdb

  2. Create the hardwario directory

    sudo mkdir /etc/hardwario

  3. Create the configuration file

    sudo nano /etc/hardwario/mqtt2influxdb.yml

  4. Paste this real snippet to the configuration file and replace influxdb host and database demo to CentOS IoT server address and database.

    Example on https://tower.hardwario.com/en/latest/tutorials/mqtt-to-influxdb/ is not working. Snippet uses file from GitHub project https://github.com/hardwario/bch-mqtt2influxdb

  5. Test the configuration file

    mqtt2influxdb -c /etc/hardwario/mqtt2influxdb.yml --test

  6. Start the MQTT to InfluxDB service

    pm2 start `which python3` --name "mqtt2influxdb" -- `which mqtt2influxdb` -c /etc/hardwario/mqtt2influxdb.yml

  7. Save the PM2 state (so it will start after reboot)

    pm2 save

Remove unused node-red

  1. Check if node-red is running
pm2 list
  1. Stop node-red
pm2 stop node-red
  1. For stop only, skip delete step
pm2 delete node-red
  1. Save PM2 state
pm2 save
