I am trying to see if all of our IoT devices are alive by pinging them and send the result to grafana.. as of now we have 30 units for testing purposes and et may expand to 200+ units.. so i would like it to be as automates as possibe.
Most og the units now are Shelly 1PM's but in the future we might switch to Shelly Pro 4PM.
the output from the MQTT node:
My problem is the send the Id and the IP to an influxdb for later ping.
However, that seems an odd thing to store in a field in a time series database. Normally the field data in influx is data that varies over time. Is the IP time variant?
