This custom component allows you to send sensor updates from ESPHome to an InfluxDB database with UDP.

Clone this repository into custom_components/influxdb from the directory where your ESPHome configuration is stored.

git clone https://github.com/la7dja/esphome-influxdb custom_components/influxdb

Add influxdb section to your ESPHome configuration file.

influxdb:
  host: "influxdb-host"
  sensors:
    meter_id:
      ignore: True
    ams_temperature:
      measurement: 'temperature'
      tags: 
        room: kitchen

• host (Required, string): Hostname or IP for the InfluxDB server
