The Tinkerforge InfluxDB Weather Station. Short: TinFluxWS
This tiny docker image will collect periodically Tinkerforge sensor values and saves them into a InfluxDB.
Sensors will automatically be detected.
As a nice feature, since version 1.7.x, TinFluxWS calculates things like:
- Saturation vapor pressure
- Water vapor partial pressure
- Specific humidity
- Max specific humidity
- Mixing ratio - moisture level
- Dense water vapor
- Dense dry air
- Dense humid air
- Dew point temperature
- Absolute humidity
- Altitude (with offset possibility - see TINFLUXWS_ALTITUDEOFFSET env. var.)
Please keep in mind that these calculations require a temperature, humidity and air pressure Bricklet!
Thanks to the amazing Grafana project you can graph then the measured sensor values.

- Tinkerforge Master Brick to connect the Bricklets.
- A InfluxDB database (create a new or take a existing)
- There is a docker image available.
- Influx user with write and read permission on the created/used database Link to Influx-Docs
- A Grafana instance for graphing the data.
- There is also a docker image available!
The TinFluxWS image uses several environment variables to automatically configure certain parts of the application. They may significantly aid you in using this image.
Adds a name to the TinFluxWStaion. This name will also be the measurement name within the provided InfluxDB database.
Lets the application know on which IP/Hostname the Master Brick can be found.
The TCP port on which the Master Brick will listen.
Sets the frequent (as integer in seconds) for measuring the environment.
Sets the offset (can be a negative or positive integer) for the altitude calculation. This may be necessary because the calculation works with approximations constants.
The URI to connect to the Influx RESTful API
The Influx database name. In this DB will measurements be placed.
Influx user with write permissions
