** Refer to InfluxDB Cloud – Setup.pptx
for initial configuration
WAGO Kontakttechnik GmbH & Co. KG
Connect Bucket to node-RED:
WAGO Kontakttechnik GmbH & Co. KG
Connect Bucket to node-RED With a Bucket created, and an API token created, we can connect the database to external programs. -Navigate to "your email" and click "Settings"
Page 5 node-RED – InfluxDB Mike Psaltis March 2022
Internal Connect Bucket to node-RED - Keep this page open. Note "Organization ID" and "Cluster URL"

Internal Node-RED Influxdb Batch Node:
WAGO Kontakttechnik GmbH & Co. KG
Influxdb Batch Node -In node-RED, install influxdb pallet, and add an influx batch node to a flow -Enter the "Organization" and "Bucket" from influx DB. -Under server, select "add new influxdb“. Click the Edit Icon to edit this new server

Internal Test Connection:
WAGO Kontakttechnik GmbH & Co. KG
Test Connection - Using an inject node, timed trigger, or event trigger. Send a message with the payload structure shown previously. Check node-RED for any debug errors. See below for configuration.
