Tasmota, JSON function and split Node

What I have seen so far is that people using InfluxDB 1.8 to push all data in one database without any tagging because there is not GUI for 1.8.

I don't think that is anything to do with not having a GUI, that is due to not understanding the basic database concepts.

@agentsmith1612

From my (nooby) point of view queries are only make seens if you can use them in a GUI. Except you have another tool that are building the queries to pull data out of influx.

The most common use of Influxdb with node-red is in conjunction with Grafana. In which case Grafana provides the GUI.

You are right Colin.
The think is I have a simple thinking in this stuff here because I don`t understanding all from the base up. When somthing it not working I would like to go step by step back to see where is the mistake.
When it comes to databases: Like no data coming to Grafana. So I would look up if node-red put it in Influx. And here is my point: With Influx 1.8 I could not look it up in a way without any coding. In Influx 2.0 I could go in with the GUI in the database and look "ok there are the data". The mistake must be in grafana.
You understand me? That is a very easy thinking but when it comes to code, I am not able to learn this code and this code and how to look up with code only to check something. I am happy for each GUI what I can use and understand to do things.
That is also the reason why I am using node red and not telegraf for this here.

I am glad that there are people like you who have helped me, even if you might throw your hands up in horror at my views.

Of course you can, using the Influx query language

$ influx
Connected to http://localhost:8086 version 1.8.10
InfluxDB shell version: 1.8.10
> use Tydwr
Using database Tydwr
> select * from four_weeks.hotwater_temps limit 5

In fact I suspect that the main reason for introducing the GUI is because the flux language is much more complex than the 1.8 sql type cli.

I don't throw up my hands in horror, but you should be careful about making sweeping statements, such as you did earlier about 1.8 not supporting tags in the same way as 2.0, unless you are sure of your facts.
