Is Our Hot Tub Thermal Cover Worth The Cost?

Not unexpectedly, our hottub is quite a bit more expensive to heat during winter. In order to try and reduce costs, I ordered a thermal cover to put over it when not in use. This post looks at when (a

I'm using influxDB since 1 year and have only a diagram for power usage.
Would you mind sharing some dashboards or #influxQL you used?

Wanted to switch from InfluxDB to TimescaleDB (because Influx kinda sucks) and was annoyed that I had to create all the tables by hand.

So I wrote a (kinda hacky) MQTT to TimescaleDB gateway where mqtt->table+field mapping is defined by code, and tables, fields and indices are created and extended automatically.

AAAAAAHHhhhhh! Is there anybody out there....

... who is able to tell me how to connect a database to bucket? It's all about the reuse if grafana stuff using #influxQL to access a #influxdb bucket. (I switched to #influxdb 2.7 not thinking about the different internal data model.)

And yes I did research:
For example:
influx v1 dbrp list --org ORGNAME
gives: Error ..... 401 unauthorized

#retoot very appriciated

#influxdb #flux #influxQL #grafana

Ich schreie mal: AAAAAAHHhhhhh!

Gibt es hier jemand, der mir sagen kann wie ich in influxDB 2.7 einem bucket eine database zuweisen kann?

Hintergrund: Damit ich in Grafana mit influxQL auf die Daten zugreifen kann und und nicht flux nutzen muss...

#influxdb #flux #influxQL #grafana

Automating A Hot Tub With Home Assistant

We recently bought a hottub, which came with wifi connectivity. This meant that I was able to link it up to HomeAssistant in order to implement automations, observability and alerting based upon it, i

Our Solar Battery Started Kicking In Late

At the beginning of January, I noticed that our Pylontech US2000C solar battery wasn't starting to supply household usage at the time that it should have done. In fact, on some mornings, it wasn't eve

The only thing more frustrating than JOINs is encountering a SQL dialect that doesn't support them.

Correcting My Grid Charge Calculations

Whilst reviewing my savings calculation script I found a nasty little bug that meant that the script had been overcharging for electricity whenever our solar battery charged from the grid. This has ha
