homebridge-influx npm

A Homebridge plugin that exposes temperature and humidity from an InfluxDB instance. It is collecting always the latest value from a measurement.

Install

Install the plugin using:

npm i -g homebridge-influx

Configure

Add to the accessories field of your Homebridge config.json file:

{
  ...
  "accessories": [
      ...
      {
        "accessory": "Homebridge-Influx",
        "name": "SomeName",  // Name for the sensors

        // Optional names for each sensor
        "sensor_names": {
          "temperature": "Temperature Sensor",
          "humidity": "Humidity Sensor"
        },

        // For influxDB queries
        "schema": {
          "temperature": {
            "field": "temperature",
            "measurement": "air"
          },
          "humidity": {
            "field": "humidity",
            "measurement": "air"
          }
        },
        "influx": {
          "host": "127.0.0.1",
          "database": "homeserver"
        }
      }
    ]
}

Note

The fields in sensor_names are optional. You however need to set at least 1. If you do not supply temperature for instance, no temperature sensor will be registered.

Influx config

The influx configuration object is passed as-is to the influx npm library, so you can use all the options it supports. See here

Influx 2

This plugin is also compatible with Influx 2, however in order to make it work, you need to do 2 things.

Configuration

In the influx part of the configuration, you need to parse in the token.

        "host": "yourHost.com",
        "port": "yourPort",
        "database": "someBucket", //type in the name of the bucket here
        "protocol": "http",
        "password": null,
        "options": {
            "headers": {
                "Authorization": "Token YOUR_TOKEN"
            }
        }

A bucket is mapped to a database. In order to make Influx aware of this mapping, you need to create it. You do this via terminal by running:

influx v1 dbrp create --db *BUCKET_NAME* --rp *BUCKET_NAME* --bucket-id *BUCKET_ID* --default
