I'm not sure if this is by design or not, but I cannot get non-numeric values to InfluxDB. For example:

AS_DEWCONTROLHEATER has On/Off values that I'd like to show on my Grafana dashboards
AS_MOON_ELEVATION has the º symbol in the value e.g. 36º and it also gets skipped
AS_DISKFREE has the unit next to the number e.g. 20.68G and it's not sent

How can I get those string values into InfluxDB, or sanitize them to be numeric?

Another example:

AS_JUPITERALT has values like -25deg 18' 29.1" and it would be great to be able to plot altitudes also

I'll have a look and see what I can do. I might be able to do some conversion on variables so they can be sent to Influx
