Provide instructions for using this with a standard Watterott CO2 Ampel device #2

Open olberger opened 3 years ago

AFAICS there's only a reference to the IP address of the device... which supposedly relates to versions of the Watterott CO2 Ampel that have a Wifi card (hence APIs ?)

What would be the way to acquire sensor values over USB/serial so as to route them to the DB/graphing stuff ?

Or I misunderstood how some of the containers are supposed to be playing that role...

@olberger the way this is supposed to work is that using this firmware, the Ampel should be publishing the telemetry to an MQTT broker (the mosquitto container in the docker-compose.yml file in this repo), which then writes the telemetry to influxdb.

Grafana uses influxdb as a datasource for the dashboard to be able to graph and display the data from the sensor. Does that answer your questions?
