When deploying, I'm getting influxdb "unable to parse" errors in debug. Only happens after deploy, and works fine at all other times. I believe this is due to retained mqtt message not containing the full payload. In this case linkQuality Not sure why, as some devices do retain this. I'm thinking …

Actually a better way to check all of them is let obj = msg.payload[0] // this saves typing for (let field in obj) { if (obj.hasOwnProperty(field)) { if (typeof obj[field] === "undefined") delete obj[field] } } return msg;
