Sorry, come to this rather late. However, I provided a detailed view on how to record home environment data in InfluxDB in this previous thread:

[Need more detailed information on influxdb - General - Node-RED Forum](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/need-more-detailed-information-on-influxdb/36885/5)

Including an explanation of the terminology and examples of measurements, tags and fields. Also examples of continuous queries and retention policies in order to keep the data sizes under control.
