## Why?

To get the [tagging](https://github.com/home-climate-control/esphome2influxdb/wiki/Tagging) right, in a lightweight package.
To get the [tagging](./docs/tagging.md) right, in a lightweight package.

## How?

Execute `./gradlew installDist` to get an executable shell script,
and run `./build/install/esphome2influxdb/bin/esphome2influxdb ${your-config-file}.yaml`.

Or, [build and run the Docker image](https://github.com/home-climate-control/esphome2influxdb/wiki/Build-with-Docker).
Or, [build the Docker image](./docs/build/docker.md).

For further details, see [esphome2influxdb Wiki](https://github.com/home-climate-control/esphome2influxdb/wiki).
For further details, see detailed documentation at [./docs](./docs/index.md).

esphome2influxdb: Docs
==

## Quickstart

1. `apt install mosquitto` or your favorite MQTT broker
1. Configure [ESPHome MQTT Client Component](https://esphome.io/components/mqtt.html) on your ESPHome devices
1. [Install InfluxDB](https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/v1.8/introduction/install/)
1. Build and run `esphome2influxdb` ([Gradle](./build/gradle.md) or [Docker](./build/docker.md))
1. [Configure your tags](./tagging.md)
1. PROFIT!!!

## Current Limitations

* Currently works only with [ESPHome Sensor](https://esphome.io/components/sensor/index.html) components, more to come.
* The project's just been open sourced, documentation is coming, keep checking this wiki for updates.

esphome2influxdb: Minimal Configuration
==

## Before you start

Keep in mind: this configuration will just start capturing data, you need to configure [tagging](./tagging.md) to make it meaningful.

## Running as a script

This will get you going:
```
sources:
- host: localhost
targets:
- host: localhost
```
[[download source](https://github.com/home-climate-control/esphome2influxdb/blob/master/src/main/resources/esphome2influxdb-localhost.yaml)]

## Running in Docker

This is a bit more complicated - `localhost` refers to the container itself (which has nothing other than `esp2influxdb` running), you need to [configure container networking](https://docs.docker.com/config/containers/container-networking/) to make hostnames resolve (look for `--dns` and related options). Or, just provide the IP.
```
sources:
- host: ${mqtt-broker-ip-or-hostname}
targets:
- host: ${influxdb-ip-or-hostname}
```

esphome2influxdb: Tagging
==

# The General Idea

Everyone wants their own tags and doesn't care about what others do. Here, have it your way - tags are free form.

# Examples

They're all going to look pretty similar and boring - the only difference is tags.

## Temperature Sensors

### Climate Control Zone
```
- type: sensor
topicPrefix: /esphome/7AC96F
source: htu21df-bedroom-master-temperature
tags:
location: Master Bedroom
zone: Master Bedroom
building: house
protocol: I2C
hardware: HTU21D-F
type: indoor
medium: air
measurement: temperature
measurementUnit: °C
```
### HVAC Unit
You heed four sensors to keep an eye on a HVAC unit: air temperature on return and supply, and refrigerant temperature on pressure and suction lines.
