Hi there!
On InfluxDB (0.9 and newer) - Persistence Services | openHAB I’ve come across the possibility to “group” items for storage in InfluxDB. I tried it and could get item names in InfluxDB, e.g.:
> show series from "room-temperature"
room-temperature,item=XMIAQTHPFfBar_Temperature
room-temperature,item=XMIAQTHPFfLr_Temperature
room-temperature,item=XMIAQTHPFfWr_Temperature
But I could not figure out how to get the items “tagged” by floor. From the documentation You can also add additional tags for structuring your data. For example, you can add a floor tag to all sensors to filter all sensors from the first floor or combine all temperature sensors into one measurement.
I would have expected the following approach a or b to work.
I tried
a) tagging the individual items with “firstFloor”
b) tagging the individual items with “floor” (hoping for some magic behind the scenes)
c) I set the influxdb metadata as follows:
value: room-temperature
config:
floor: firstFloor
Ways a and b weren’t successful, but c worked. Is approach c really the one to use?
Can anybody give me a hint on that?
Best regards,
ceedee
