Connecting Node Red to InfluxDB V1.8 (32Bit)

Using InfluxDB on a 32Bit OS is very different to a 64bit OS. This video shows how to push simulated data from Node Red into InfluxDB all on a Raspberry Pi Zero W. To save time we export a project from a 64Bit system into our Pi Zero.

Awesome explanation, with your videos I managed to get sensor data from MQTT into the database. Before I found this video, I was busy reading about node-red and influxDB almost the whole day.
I found a lot of less precis stuff in the net about that 32Bit issue caused by the PI Zero W😣.
However, you made an awesome job, thank you very much :)

Helpful, clear explanation. In your example you have fields with numeric values, but no tags. Suppose you wanted to also record a location tag with each temp, density, and time stamp (eg location="waterpump1"). How does one format the change and function node in node-red so influxdb properly includes this tag, as tags are always strings. Please consider adding tags to future influxdb measurements (tables) with node-red . My own node-red project uses MQTT to collect numeric temp and humidity with a discrete location tag - trying to figure out how node-red wants it presented to the influxdb node. Thanks, I hope I was coherent😊!

why my influxdb node measurement is not showing but only database any idea? 1.x version
