esphome2influxdb: Tagging

The General Idea

Everyone wants their own tags and doesn't care about what others do. Here, have it your way - tags are free form.

Examples

They're all going to look pretty similar and boring - the only difference is tags.

Temperature Sensors

Climate Control Zone

  - type: sensor
    topicPrefix: /esphome/7AC96F
    source: htu21df-bedroom-master-temperature
    tags:
      location: Master Bedroom
      zone: Master Bedroom

HVAC Unit

You heed four sensors to keep an eye on a HVAC unit: air temperature on return and supply, and refrigerant temperature on pressure and suction lines.
